GigaNet Systems' network emulators are used in the testing of a wide variety of solutions by both NEMs and Service Providers alike to understand how these solutions, and the products that deliver them, will actually perform when deployed in a live network.

Quite simply, network emulators are regularly used to test any device that connects to a network, any service that runs on a network, and the network itself.

The following is a short list of some of the Applications that are tested using a hardware-based network emulator.

• Networked Applications (ERP, Databases etc...)
• Video over IP (IPTV, Video Conferencing)
• Voice over IP (VoIP)
• Gaming
• FCoE System (LAN, Equipment, SW, and App.)
• Storage Extension
• Remote Data Centers, Co-Located sites
• Server Consolidation and Data Center Migration
• Disaster Recovery Testing
• Corporate WAN / Capacity Planning
• SLA Verification / Optimization
• Network Equipment Validation, and Performance Optimization
• WAN Acceleration Testing
• Circuit Emulation
• Etc...
