Server Migration Case Study

• Our customer - Large International IT Consulting
  Firm
• End customer - U.S. defense contractor
• 10 Billion contract
• Project - Server Migration from Fort Worth to
  Norwich CT
• Goal - Application Performance Testing
• Anue Emulator GEL2 (Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2)
• Scenario - Requirement for testing up to 80 ms of
  Delay
• Scenario - Throttle to 40Mb/s bandwidth on GbE
  interface
• At 5ms Delay application throughput begins
  dropping
• At 40ms Delay applications break

GEL2 Competitive Advantage
Architecture Hardware based high precision,
accuracy and full layer 1 impairment emulation
ability Flexible FPGA design protects
investment Easy to upgrade with new features
extensive roadmap Performance High precision
instrument with fine resolution control over
delay function Full GbE line-rate support all
the time (even at 64 byte frames size) Ability
to chain multiple impairments at same time
(corruption, jitter, duplication, reorder,
drop, modification, errors) Features Dynamically
change impairment profile without stopping a test
NO traffic disruption Advanced Filtering
Selective impairment based on values in Ethernet
frame Any value up to 1000 bytes deep including
MAC and IP addresses, VLAN tags, etc. Layer 1
Emulation 10 bit domain errors, LOS, Bit
rotation (comma aligner) Fibre Channel,
SONET/SDH and Ethernet support with SAME
HARDWARE! Automation support with TCL
library Customers Those requiring Precision
and Accuracy (i.e., over delay) High bandwidth
or Full Line Rate support at all times 10GbE,
10G FC or OC-192 support today Multi protocol
support - Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH and
Ethernet Protection of investment with a
flexible architecture and extensive roadmap
