Consumer demand for faster, more reliable communications is driving the continuous innovation of both new network technologies and the services they're expected to provide. The rapid advances being made in the areas of telecommunications networks - including wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless sensor networks, satellite communication networks and terrestrial microwave networks - are creating new challenges for network equipment manufacturers, service providers, planners and operators.
Network simulation software simplifies and streamlines the adoption of these new technologies. It enables users to comprehend the capabilities of emerging technologies and model networks in a virtual environment, gaining an accurate understanding of topology behavior and performance as they upgrade or scale devices, links and applications.
HUAWEI ENTERPRISE NETWORK SIMULATION PLATFORM (eNSP)
There are a number of great reasons why you should choose Huawei eNSP for your network simulation.
Huawei’s Enterprise Network Simulation Platform - or eNSP - is a free graphical tool supporting large-scale network simulation. Quick to install and easy to use, it accurately simulates the deployment and performance of firewalls, network switches, routers and WLAN devices in either your 'as-built' network, or in a virtual network when no devices are available.
Using eNSP provides four key benefits:
1. ACCELERATED KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION
Through the simulation of real network equipment, eNSP enables information and communications technology (ICT) specialists and end-users to quickly become familiar with the Huawei’s Enterprise Networking product family. It allows them to understand and master the operation, configuration and optimization of related products in a virtual environment without impacting network users.
2. OPTIMIZED NETWORK BEHAVIOR
Accurately mirroring the behavior of your physical network, eNSP provides in-depth insights into how your end-to-end operational environment - network devices, links, protocols and traffic - are performing in real-time. It allows you to quickly identify issues and fine-tune components to improve the efficiency and performance of the network. This deep knowledge gained also identifies capability gaps and provides input into strategic planning, construction, operation and maintenance initiatives to build better, more efficient networks.
3. ASESSING CYBER-RESILIENCE
With cyberattacks on the rise, organizations must understand how their system and applications will behave when under attack. Huawei eNSP provides the basis for testing your network’s cyber-resilience, allowing you to plug the gaps with an AI-based, proactive network defense system.
4. TESTING APPLICATIONS & SERVICES
Providing a low-cost test environment to evaluate application performance under a variety of conditions, eNSP allows developers to assess application performance and interoperability with other software competing for network resources.
THE BOTTOM LINE
In the face of consumer demand, rapid innovation and increasing threats, you can’t afford to leave anything to chance! Huawei’s Enterprise Network Simulation Platform provides the capabilities you need to ensure the scalability, performance and security of your network. You now have 4 good reasons why you should deploy eNSP without delay!
