Case Study: Citrix achieves accurate, cost-effective real-world network testing with Shunra NV

Citrix Systems’ Virtual Workplace Applications Deployed with Confidence Using Shunra NV Solutions

Citrix Systems, a global leader in virtual workplace software, needed to ensure its applications delivered consistent performance across a wide array of real-world network environments. The System Level II engineering team required a way to emulate WAN conditions—varying bandwidth, latency and packet behavior—to validate large-scale server farms and verify that deployments would meet customer expectations.

Citrix selected Shunra NV network virtualization to recreate production network conditions cost-effectively in a single test lab. The solution let engineers and developers reproduce complex, multi‑site links, rapidly test and debug software, determine minimum network requirements, and complete tests that previously required global coordination—improving test accuracy and deployment confidence.
