Calnex NE-ONE Enterprise

FAST, FLEXIBLE AND EASY DEPLOYMENT

Flexible Deployment

Choose from our ready-to-use Hardware or certified VMware Ready Virtual Appliances, both of which are available in a number of models to suit your needs.

Route Anywhere

“Route” traffic from port-to-port or port-to-multi-port, including both physical and Soft Ports, without any limitations on connectivity. This includes “routing” in bridged networks.

Network Address Translation

Configure Static or Dynamic NAT, including Port Forwarding, on any port to mimic real-world devices including firewalls and routers.

Continuous Test Network

Deploy on the edge of the production network allowing users to test application performance from their usual location but as if they were physically at another location.

Operational Scaling

NE-ONE Enterprise’s multi-user design, soft ports and scenario sharing capabilities protect your investment and enables you to scale-out to support multiple teams and scale-up the number of concurrent tests.

Soft Ports

Use the Port Manager to create hundreds of new Soft Ports as subdivisions of physical ports. Soft Ports can be used in a number of ways including allocating users their own Soft Ports allowing them to create their own test networks that are entirely independent from other users on the same NE-ONE appliance. 

Enterprise Management

Optionally integrate the NE-ONE Enterprise into organization-wide LDAP single-sign for authenticating users against their existing login credentials. Add the NE-ONE Enterprise into standard security and monitoring systems using built-in SNMP support.

EASE-OF-USE

Network Topology Wizard

Simply select from a choice of ready-made network templates including Point-to-Point, Multi-Point, Hub & Spoke or Cloud and the test network is created for you in seconds.
Packet

Out-of-the-Box

Choose from a wide range of pre-installed network types and example profiles for LAN, WAN, Cloud, Satellite, Mobile, DSL and WiFi saving you time having to create them from scratch.
Filter

Advanced Packet Handling

Classify, route, filter and selectively impair traffic by any packet field within any protocol layer (2-7) using a Wireshark-like syntax. Bridge and/or route traffic via the emulator enabling you to mimic the complexity of your real world network.

Congestion

Easily create and vary network congestion to make a link appear busy without using expensive traffic generators. Generate both internal and external traffic to create congestion using real packet flows.

Superior Real-world Impairments

Apply one or more impairments from categories that include bandwidth, congestion, latency, packet loss, errors, fragmentation, reordering, duplication and more! With more than 100 parameters to choose from NE-ONE combines realism and accuracy in a Software Defined Test Network that allows you to test applications over a range of controllable and repeatable scenarios.

Network Scenario Builder & Player

The unique Network Scenario Builder & Player, along with the scenarios themselves, are one of the key features available across the NE-ONE family that allow for a fully automated test network. Providing almost unlimited possibilities for recreating what happens in the real-world it lets you easily create time-based network scenarios to test how applications handle variations in network quality and availability.

Intelligent Packet Replay

Use Intelligent Packet Replay to create traffic that intelligently takes into consideration the test network characteristics ensuring accurate playback. Scale-up testing to mimic hundreds of clients, servers and other devices, that do not need to physically exist, to evaluate how they will behave under different network constraints.

Cloud Networks

Cloud, hub-and-spoke, meshed and partially meshed networks that have multiple links between nodes can be difficult to draw out using regular tools. Thankfully, NE-ONE Enterprise’s Cloud Feature simplifies this task and accelerates the test setup as it lets you easily define, in a single object, the network quality, conditions and routing between each node in the network.

Satellite Links and Constellations

Mimic make-before-break switching to emulate the handover capability at the IP level in order to reproduce the timing required in transmission while beams and satellites are being transitioned.

Cisco QoS Class of Service Handling & Traffic Shaping

Model Cisco’s (and other similar) QoS class of service and traffic shaping algorithms to test an application’s ability to work with Cisco QoS classes, with or without traffic shaping.

RAPID ANALYSIS

Graphs & Statistics

Analyze the test network in real-time to identify and resolve potential application performance issues to ensure service level compliance before deployment. Easily see what is happening to packet flows at any point in the test network and get easy and fast visibility into your application’s performance using built-in basic and comparative graphs including an export data feature for offline analysis in other tools.

Reports

NE-ONE’s built-in expert knowledge provides comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end performance of applications and how and who they interact with over the network. Its powerful, intelligent and interactive reports empowers you to know if an application is Network Ready, validates planned changes and accelerates troubleshooting performance problems in production applications.

Predictive Analytics

Predictive Analytics makes forecasts about future networked application performance using historical data to identify potential performance problems. Its powerful, intelligent and interactive reports empower you to know if an application is Network Ready, validates planned changes and accelerates troubleshooting performance problems in production applications.

Packet Capture

Full packet capture in PCAP format at any point in the test network provides pervasive application visibility, analysis and troubleshooting for use with other tools, including Wireshark®, enabling rapid debug of application performance issues.

POWERFUL INTEGRATION

Advanced CLI / API

A CLI for scripting routine tasks and integration with other products you can orchestrate and automate changes in the network conditions dynamically.

RESTful API

NE-ONE’s Enterprise’s RESTful APIs are the foundation that provides a modern and scalable way for our customers and partners to integrate more quickly and with less complexity. Every GUI operation has a RESTful API equivalent that enables easy integration therefore reducing complexity and development time.

Embedded Javascript Engine

The embedded Javascript Engine allows you to create powerful models or simulations or networks that change dynamically, either individually or together, at high precision.

Packet Engine Programming Language (PEPL)

The Packet Engine Programming Language (PEPL) allows programmatic manipulation of packets, analysis of all traffic flows, actions, including new impairment and routing functions, on a per packet basis.
