Simulator available in Software, VMWare, and Cloud Image

CloudPort is an affordable, easy-to-configure, comprehensive service virtualization product for mimicking services in the cloud and enterprise data centers prior to implementation. Capitalizing on actual metrics of cloud providers and enterprise data centers, organizations using CloudPort can more confidently align their infrastructure with business requirements for enhance reliability and security. CloudPort offers unprecedented visibility into evaluating and selecting cloud providers, determining an effective enterprise-to-cloud risk migration strategy, and identifying and mitigating risk.

CloudPort enables IT professionals to significantly reduce project expense and duration by allowing parallel development of the client and service components of a SOAP, XML or REST based service within enterprise data centers and cloud providers. CloudPort arms IT organization with information about cloud providers including: performance metrics, geographic latencies and service intitiation/spin-up times. CloudPort's "single pane of glass," centralized console offers ease of modeling scenarios across cloud providers and data centers to rapidly validate trading-partner integration; analyze provider performance characteristics for precise SLA measurement/management; ensure effective cloud migration - without impacting production systems.

Centralized Cloud Provider Modeling

Enables enterprise to simulate "what-if" scenarios for enterprise-to-cloud interaction. Native integration with Cloud management APIs provides centralized performance, failure, security, capacity and interoperability modeling across popular cloud providers including Amazon EC2, GoGrid, OpSource and Rackspace. Simply author simulation policies, push policies from CloudPort centralized console to multiple cloud providers, send expected traffic, and model enterprise-to-cloud interaction by analyzing collected metrics.

 

Client Transaction Governance

Enables validation of clients by providing a Virtual Interface for clients to communicate with to validate the message flows and business logic. Rules can be created on CloudPort to report on client conformance level for service integration requirements. This allows the simulated service integration to provide feedback as to when the client is ready to communicate to the actual physical services.

 

Performance Analytics

CloudPort can be used in place of infrastructure to enable performance testing of various components of the SOA architecture by removing the bottlenecks each component may cause. CloudPort performance mode services connections across a threaded model which provides TPS rates exceeding 1000 Transactions Per Second on a single Simulation Server instance.

 

Large File Streaming

CloudPort provides a streaming attachment module which allows testing and simulation of MIME, DIME, and MTOM transactions with very large (2GB) file sizes. The streaming technology dramatically reduces the memory requirement to service multiple file transfers on a single machine by streaming the data from file directly to the socket, with only nominal physical memory requirements. This allows environment to validate capacity and throughput expectations for SwA based transactions.

 

ESB Message Queue and Endpoint Simulation

Real-time transaction viewing and analysis of request/response data from targeted HTTP or HTTPs inbound transactions, or from setting up CloudPort to act as a message broker between IBM MQ, Tibco EMS, Weblogic JMS, or native JMS queues. CloudPort removes the need to have a back-end server process the queues, and can replicate the processing behavior and virtual this in the running simulation.
