MIMIC Virtual Lab Enterprise creates a real world lab environment with networks populated with devices from different manufacturers. It provides access to the devices - via SNMP, TFTP, Telnet and Cisco IOS software - to evaluate new management products easily, yet exhaustively, prior to purchase and to customize them after purchase. MIMICs unique feature, "Test Exercises", generates many real-world conditions, both negative and positive (heavily/lightly loaded networks, devices going up and down, trap storms, etc.), for a thorough test environment. MIMIC provides a safe environment to practice that will not affect the production network. You dont have to worry about testing scenarios that could bring down various devices or the entire network. In addition, you can save various configurations and changes to be used again later. This also makes it easier to train new hires. You can do all this without buying expensive equipment. With Virtual Lab, you can create realistic simulations that will help to improve the management of your own network. http://www.gambitcomm.com/site/products/snmp_virtual_lab.html
