MIMIC Simulator offers a unique and an inexpensive way to create a real world lab environment. It provides an interactive hands-on lab for quality assurance, development, marketing, sales, evaluation, deployment and training of enterprise management applications. It creates a customizable virtual environment populated with devices like routers, hubs, switches, WiFi/WiMAX/LTE devices, probes, cable modems and workstations.

The most common uses of this versatile suite are:

• Development and Testing: Management application developers can implement their products quickly and test reliably.
• Evaluation: Enterprises can evaluate the suitability of applications with anticipated failure and growth scenarios, or qualify purchases before deployment.
• Trade Shows: Marketing can setup powerful "live" demonstrations at trade shows.
• Sales Demos: Sales can tailor presentations to the individual customer's environment.
• Training Environments: Realistic training scenarios can explore all possible cases. Training environment can be portable rather than based on the classroom.

The MIMIC Simulator suites include:

• MIMIC SNMP Agent Simulator
• MIMIC IPMI Simulator
• MIMIC Cable Modem Simulator
• MIMIC IOS Simulator

The MIMIC Simulator standard package comes with many tools, wizards, ready-to-go libraries and APIs.

Tools

• MIMICView - User friendly GUI to manipulate the simulations
• MIMIC Simulator - Allows the simulation of an enterprise network on a workstation
• MIMIC Recorder - Captures a "snapshot" of the device/network and creates the simulations
• MIMIC Compiler - Compiles any SMI-based MIB
• MIMIC Shell - Tcl-based command-line interface

Wizards
MIMIC Wizards provide a user-friendly way to accomplish complex tasks.

• Discovery Wizard - Records large networks
• Snapshot Wizard - Takes multiple snapshots of a device over time to create more realistic simulations
• Trap Wizard - Captures trap sequences and replays them in the simulation
• Simulation Wizard - Creates simulations for devices under development
• Topology Wizard - Customizes different network topologies
• MIB Wizard - Imports and compiles new MIBs
• Update Wizard - Updates software/data over the Internet

Libraries
MIMIC is pre-packaged with data to quickly setup out-of-the-box virtual labs. It ships with large libraries of simulated devices, networks, and MIBs from the leading networking companies.

APIs
You can customize simulations using Tcl, C++, Java and Perl languages to tap in to the full power of the simulator.

Supported Platforms: Windows®, Solaris and Linux. (details)
