  • R&D: Virtual "test network" environment
    Developers can simulate QA test cases or recreate customer environments. MIMIC enhances product reliability by simulating large, complex, multi-vendor network environments, thus ensuring greater product quality and more responsive customer service.

  • Sales: Portable product demonstrations
    Marketing and sales can demonstrate network management product capabilities easily, reliably and effectively. MIMIC helps create different network scenarios instantly. It simplifies demo setup, enhance portability, and reduce cost-of-sales.

  • Support: Bring back customers environments
    Support staff don't have to visit the customer location and try to reproduce the problem for days. With MIMIC's recording tool, they can record and bring back the customer's environment and work more efficiently.

  • Training: Flexible training facility
    Instructors can deliver more effective network management training. MIMIC is a portable enterprise network-in-a-box, enabling students to investigate routine and unforeseen network management scenarios.

    HP OpenView Education and Training group teaches an advanced Network Node Manager course that uses MIMIC Simulator for students that allows them the opportunity to experience common deployment problems. [more]
  • Evaluation: More thorough product evaluations
    End-users can easily yet exhaustively evaluate new management products prior to purchase, and customize them after purchase. MIMIC scripts automate testing by simulating network conditions in the virtual MIMIC environment.

  • Examples
    The following sections show how easy it is to setup a variety of scenarios with the MIMIC Agent Simulator. Notice, all the examples are unretouched actual sessions in our labs using leading Network Management Applications. The agents that these applications are talking to are all simulated using MIMIC. You can click on each image to reveal both a more detailed picture, and commentary about interesting features of the simulation.
