Company Description
Gambit Communications is a leader in network, IoT and SNMP simulation tools that enhance the productivity of management software developers and enterprise users while lowering their costs. MIMIC Simulator is a modular family of simulators used by leading networking vendors for use in applications from development and testing to operator training and disaster simulations. Gambit Communications' portfolio of over 1,000 customers around the world includes: IBM, CA, JP Morgan, VISA, Shell, US Army, US Air Force, Cisco, Apple, Starbucks, AT&T, Nokia.
IoT Solutions
With the connected world and thousands of applications to manage that, there is a need to make sure those applications are performing the way it is expected. They need to be tested against the high scalability of devices and sensors, the large amount of traffic, time sensitive traffic and timely response. It is hard to test all these in a physical test lab. That is where a simulator that creates a heterogeneous test lab is absolutely required.
The MIMIC IoT Simulator creates a real-world test lab with thousands of IoT sensors and devices. It is a suite of simulators to cover all protocols required by IoT Applications, Middleware, Brokers, Load Balancers and clients.
MIMIC allows suppliers of sensors, devices and applications to design, develop and test their applications using secured connections, in a virtual and scalable network environment. Using MIMIC, they can assure their customers that their applications will be able to handle the scales of connections, topics and varieties of messages to work properly when deployed across heterogeneous environments. They can also create variety of benchmarks to show the scalability for sensors, volume of messages and topics.
MIMIC® Energy Savings Calculator (http://www.gambitcomm.com/energy-savings/)
MIMIC Simulator pays for itself very quickly even if one considers only energy savings.
This calculator is just for energy savings. The use of MIMIC also yields substantial savings in capital equipment costs, space and maintainance costs, along with a reduction in carbon footprint and greenhouse gases.
Protocols: MQTT, Modbus, IPv6 / HTTP (incl. 802.15.4), CoAP

Case Study
Enterprise Grade Networks for Vistara
Vistara is a multi-tenant SaaS based product that serves thousands of customers, managing a large number of devices. Vistara runs on a highly scalable Big Data platform that processes over a billion data samples per day. Vistara is architected to be scaled out on demand. To ensure that Vistara can meet real-time performance demands, the product is tested thoroughly under variety of conditions and against a wide range of devices. Specific features, like Vistara’s performance data visualization, also require in-depth testing. Vistara’s QA team previously used only physical devices in their lab for testing. With this approach, it was very difficult to test product behavior under extreme load scenarios across devices from many different vendors. To address this need, Vistara decided to augment their lab with a network simulator. Vistara needed an enterprise grade network simulator that can simulate SNMP agent behavior as well as various console protocols such SSH/Telnet in depth. They also needed a tool that came with a large library of pre-defined networks that they could use as simulated test devices. Vistara evaluated the market for an enterprise grade network simulator. MIMIC SNMP and Telnet/SSH Simulator stood out in meeting all of its requirements.
Case Study
Testing Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solutions
Cisco provides many applications as a part of this solution; Hosted Collaboration Fulfillment-Mediation (HCM-F), Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance, Cisco Unified Call Manage(CUCM), Cisco Unified Presence(CUP), Cisco Unity Connection(CUCxN), Cisco Unified Operation Manager (CUOM), and Cisco Prime License Manager. There are many communications technologies linking the different components: SOAP, REST, XML, SNMP, Cisco IOS, LDAP, VOIP, Telnet and SSH. They all need to be verified for various combinations of scenarios, features and scalability. That is a huge task which would need many different tools to be used and configured. Instead Cisco decided to use one tool that can provide all the test environments they need, MIMIC Web and SNMP Simulator.
