Faster than a speeding packet, able to span long distances in a single access, it’s your data!

The requirement for instantaneous information access across geographically diverse organizations continues to drive WAN acceleration and optimization solutions, implemented via technologies such as TCP windowing optimization, database/file transfer caching, compression, data reduction and traffic shaping. The ROI of acceleration solutions makes them attractive to enterprises with large information stores that must be shared between sites.

However, TCP/WAN acceleration requires a solution that anticipates the impairments common in the WAN and compensates for the effects caused by them. A fraction of a percent of packet loss or bit errors can have a drastic effect on the efficiency of TCP windowing algorithms and compression schemes. Acceleration solutions must be tested against the network conditions that exist where they will be deployed.

With the Anue WAN Emulator you can conduct WAN acceleration testing as follows:

• Evaluate the performance of the acceleration algorithms and optimize configurations.
• Assess the sensitivity of your applications to variations in network conditions.
• Target specific parts of the packet, including header and payload, for error or modification.
• Target specific packets to be impaired based on a filter you define.
• Identify the best implementation to assure quality of experience for the end user.
• Isolate problems early, before deployment, to improve the quality of your TCP/WAN acceleration products and services.

Anue GEM and XGEM WAN Emulators can emulate up to 64 different network profiles simultaneously at full line rate for all packet sizes, enabling you to reproduce with accuracy any network configuration and condition, including delay, jitter, errors, drop, reorder, fragmentation, duplication, buffering, flow control, and bandwidth constraints.

This level of power and flexibility makes the Anue WAN Emulator ideal for WAN acceleration testing. With Anue you can validate the performance of your WAN acceleration solution with confidence, accelerating time-to-market and reducing costly delays and downtime.
