Network Emulation Service Overview

The Network Emulation Service is a vendor-neutral SaaS solution that provides a platform enabling you to:

  • Design and deploy virtual networks on-demand easily.
  • Integrate Keysight’s traffic generators and threat simulator appliances on the platform to provide realistic workloads for network emulation.
  • Access the service securely from any web browser to run sales demos or POCs safely on the cloud, including layer 2–3 network infrastructure and layer 4–7 application security testing.
  • Leverage administrative features that include workspace access control, usage logs, and managed virtual machine (VM) access.
  • Predict usage costs with a simple model based on flexible credits.

Challenges with current Network Emulation Platforms

Problem

Problem:

  • Requires special skills and tools to deploy and maintain elastic network emulation platforms.
  • Fails to deliver a single platform that combines both advanced and easy to use network and traffic emulation capabilities.
  • Provides complex pricing and platform unpredictability, especially when deploying in the cloud.
  • Lacks support and collaboration between multiple vendors.
  • Limits computational resources which prevents emulating full scale networks.
  • Needs to manage access, store topologies, track usage, recall results, and compliance logs.

Solution:

  • Offload deployment, day-to-day management activities, and support of emulation platforms to industry experts.
  • Access powerful feature rich topology editing tools with built in Keysight traffic and threat emulation appliances.
  • Predict costs and track usage with simplified and efficient tools.
  • Secure and manage collaboration and sharing of component VMs and topologies with a multi-vendor consortium design.
  • Leverage elastic access to vast cloud resources that meet your on-demand needs.
  • Empower admins to manage user and workspace access, manage and share VMs and topologies, track costs and usage, manage emulation results, track logs, and more.
Solution

Use Cases

Use Case
  • Allow your network device sales and marketing teams to perform virtual demos of custom networks.
  • Design and prove networks without vendor or scale restrictions.
  • Showcase product in realistic environments emulating users, applications, or different types of network traffic.
  • Emulate your customer’s existing production hardware (OpEx), with emulation of VMs provided by the OEM vendors.
  • Provide sandboxes for network engineers, architects, and support teams to test outside of the production environment.
  • Offer sandboxes for training and certification.
