MIMIC Simulator 11.00 Introduces NetFlow Simulation Along with Breakthrough in Scalability
New software release extends powerful simulation capability to create 50,000 device lab for large scale testing
Nashua, NH, January 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Gambit Communications, a leading provider of powerful and affordable network and SNMP simulation tools to more than 1,000 customers worldwide, today announced the availability of the latest version of its network simulation product, MIMIC Simulator Suite 11.00. The updated MIMIC delivers NetFlow Simulator, a new solution for complete evaluation and troubleshooting of Flow monitoring, management and analysis applications.
MIMIC Simulator Suite also provides significant functionality and usability enhancements that bolster scalability to 50,000 devices. This is a major breakthrough in simulation technology.
"MIMIC Simulator is a way for organizations to test the quality, scalability and performance of their applications, without the need to invest in building large physical testing facilities. With its updated support for NetFlow simulation and significantly increased simulation of up to 50,000 devices, IT staffs can test applications with simulated network traffic flows and device loading conditions that more closely resemble the demanding scalability requirements of their production environment. Tools like MIMIC Simulator enable IT organizations to test their networks for business-readiness, without putting their production environments at risk," said Audrey Rasmussen, Partner and Principal Analyst at Ptak, Noel and Associates.
"MIMIC Simulator helps evaluate and test network management applications by simplifying four key management requirements: scalable lab, detailed network component diagnostics, dynamic network update and protocol support," said Uwe Zimmermann, President of Gambit Communications. "This latest release delivers the features and capabilities that development and QA teams need to ensure the scalability and performance of their applications, backed up by the value and reliability for which MIMIC solutions are known."
MIMIC Simulator is the engine behind Gambit's 24/7 SaaS offering for Cisco CCNA practice labs, MIMIC Virtual Lab Cloud. With MIMIC scaling to 50,000 devices, it enables Cisco training organizations to provide thousands of CCNA lab pods running simultaneously.
Highlights from the latest MIMIC Simulator:
* MIMIC NetFlow Simulator - Creates a lab, full of devices based on Cisco? NetFlow and IPFIX data to completely evaluate and test your Flow monitoring, management and analysis applications.
* NetFlow Recorder - Records NetFlow sessions and creates basic NetFlow simulations.
* Scalability - MIMIC now supports 50,000 devices (instead of previous limit 20,000) on Linux.
* UDP support in MIMIC Server Simulator - Now you can also simulate thousands of UDP based servers along with TCP based servers.
* More platforms - Complete support for Fedora 13 and 14, along with other Linux and Windows platforms.
* Significant performance boost
* Versatile network and device library with many more devices, MIBs and networks
Availability
MIMIC Simulator 11.00 is available immediately from Gambit.

About MIMIC Simulator
MIMIC provides an inexpensive way for enterprises, device vendors, management and software developers to evaluate, test, demo, develop, train and certify management applications without purchasing equipment and maintaining labs for those functions. MIMIC has the ability to simulate up to 20,000 devices from one workstation. MIMIC simulations can be distributed over multiple platforms for enterprise simulation testing of even larger environments. MIMIC includes user-friendly wizards for importing new MIBs, recording large networks, creating device simulations and network topologies, and provides full support for SNMP(v1, v2, v3), IPv6, NetFlow, IPMI, DHCP, TFTP, RMON(1, 2) as well as Telnet, Cisco IOS, Juniper JUNOS and TL/1.
