SHUNRA VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE(SHUNRA VE)

Know exactly how your business applicationsand network services will perform for remote

end-users before rollout!

RECREATE ANY PRODUCTION NETWORK INMINUTES

Shunra VE delivers a highly robust, comprehensivenetwork simulation solution that creates a virtualnetwork environment in your pre-deployment lab. Itdelivers a powerful, flexible and easy way to test theperformance of your applications and networkequipment under a wide variety of networkimpairments – exactly as if they were running in areal-life production environment.

Using Shunra VE you will understand the impact thatthe network and applications have on each other’sperformance and on the remote end-users’experiences, and uncover and resolve productionrelated problems – before rollout.

In addition to the empirical experience, Shunra VEprovides a wide range of graphically rich reports anddrill-down analysis capabilities. These help you isolateand resolve the root causes of network and applicationproblems early, and determine whether anymodifications to the application, network orinfrastructure are needed.

Shunra VE gives you the information you need tomake informed decisions - throughout thedevelopment lifecycle - and ensure service levels toremote end-users.

Shunra VE is ideal for:

Infrastructure Projects

Data center or server consolidationDisaster recovery and business continuityNetwork capacity planningNetwork designVoIP planning and testingInfrastructure change managementIPv6 migrationActive directory deployments and email migrationsIP based SAN testing

SHUNRA VE: THE TECHNOLOGY

"Sub second transaction execution is absolutely criticalin electronic foreign exchange trading, and Shunra VEhelps us consistently assure optimal performance forour users before we deploy the platform in production.Using Shunra VE during the development process tounderstand and optimize performance in such ademanding environment – before deployment –provides strategic value to our business. WithoutShunra VE we would feel like we were flying blind."Hotspot FX – leading online foreign exchange tradingmarketplace.

FLEXIBLE NETWORK MODELING & DESIGNThe Shunra VE network appliance is controlled through a highlyintuitive and easy-to-use Microsoft Visio based modeler. Themodeler gives you complete flexibility to create any network topologyand run any scenario, any way you want.

Once you’ve created your network model, you simply press the playbutton to activate your test scenario. At this point any application,network service or infrastructure connected to the appliance willbehave as if it were subjected to the conditions defined in the model.You will immediately “see and feel” exactly how remote end-userswill experience your application under production conditions!

You can edit any network parameter at any time, to create current,future, worst case or “what-if” scenarios. And you can replay orreconfigure these scenarios over and over again to try out alternativesolutions, verify problem resolution, and compare performancebetween different versions or technologies.

CAPTURE AND REPLAY PRODUCTION NETWORKCONDITIONSShunra VE’s network recording software captures and importsproduction network conditions, such as latency, jitter and packetloss, directly into your network model. When Shunra VE replaysthese recordings it recreates the exact same conditions that existon the production network so that you can test your applicationsunder the most real-life conditions possible.

RECREATE AND TROUBLESHOOT POST DEPLOYMENTPROBLEMSShunra VE is also ideal for troubleshooting production problemsthat occurred in the past. Since Shunra VE stores 30 days worthof production network conditions, you can simply rewind the recordingto the time that the problem occurred and see what happened withthe network at that time. With this information you can easily identifythe source of performance problems – whether in the applicationor the network, and verify the resolution.

Shunra VE combines a high performance hardware appliance witheasy-to-use, innovative software. This creates a powerful networksimulation solution that includes detailed reports and root causeanalysis. Shunra VE is extremely easy to install, configure and use,and it seamlessly integrates with your existing infrastructure andlab environment, right out-of-the-box.

HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORK SIMULATIONAPPLIANCEAt the heart of Shunra VE is a high performance, scalable networkappliance, that functions as a bridge or router. It changes the speedat which network traffic travels across the local area network,exposing data packets to the same network impairments to whichthey would be subjected on the wide area network.

"We used Shunra VE to test a complex Oracle-basedglobal application. It helped us achieve ourbenchmarking goals, and understand performanceexpectations over high-latency network segments."Accenture – a global management consulting company.

DEEP ANALYSIS & COMPREHENSIVE REPORTSWith every test, Shunra VE provides detailed drill-down analysisand graphically rich diagnostics reports on application and networkperformance, which tell you exactly where and when you will haveperformance problems – in the network or the application. ShunraVE provides reports and analysis on:

Application performance over the network

Application availability over the network

Application performance thresholds against a range andcombination of network conditions

Individual transaction performance measurements and drilldown information

All reports can be exported to Microsoft Office documents or publishedin HTML. An executive summary report in Microsoft Word is alsoprovided. Additionally, all Shunra VE test results are stored in acentral repository for easy version comparison, change control, andfuture reference by the project team.

AUTOMATICALLY INTEGRATE WITH THIRD PARTYLAB RESOURCESShunra VE includes an XML-based open API which enables it toautomatically manage other third party lab resources, or be managedby them. These resources include PCs running batch scripts, FTPclients, custom developed or off-the-shelf testing tools, trafficgenerators, network sniffers, and network management systems.

PREDICT APPLICATION PERFORMANCE UNDERMULTIPLE REMOTE END-USERSIn the real world, distributed applications are used by tens, hundredsor even thousands of remote end-users. This end-user load directlyimpacts application performance across the network, and thenetwork’s performance itself. Shunra VE includes two highly intuitiveapplications – VE Predictor and VE Profiler – which directly integratewith the industry’s leading load testing tools, including HP Mercury’sLoadRunner and Borland’s SilkPerformer. These applicationsautomate the process of assessing application performance underremote end-user load and network conditions, so that you candetermine compliance with SLOs.

"Shunra VE is a strategic solution that enables us todeliver reliable IT services to our end-users. WithShunra VE we can understand the real-worldperformance of all our new applications, from variousgeographic locations, and efficiently and easily plannetwork capacity and the budget needed to supportthe application and business growth."Serono – a leading global biotechnology company.
