The Spirent INE range includes products that emulate the conditions likely to be encountered in a live application rollout.

• How your applications perform when placed in a ‘real’ network?
• Whether increasing bandwidth will really increase performance?
• How an application will perform when deployed over a long distance (e.g., in a WAN)?
• If it is possible to reduce bandwidth without suffering loss of performance?
• How robust the application is to packet loss/damage or reordering?

Using these products from development, through testing to predeployment, ensures your application will work and perform in its target network without the requirement for painful and expensive fixing, recoding or redesigning.
