OpenNMS discovers 500 simulated devices

MIMIC SNMP Simulator simulates 500 devices, and we discover them with
OpenNMS on a 4-CPU virtual machine with 12GB RAM, with this precise inventory

first router = 1
second level routers that connect to first router = 17
third level switches that connect to second level routers = 82
fourth level end systems of phones, Windows and printers = 400

A 16GB RAM VM is not enough for OpenNMS to discover 1000 simulated
devices.  With MIMIC, you can easily test scalability of your NMS
deployment.

Dynamic IPMI simulation

FYI, we recently have added to our library this video to demonstrate
MIMIC IPMI Simulator changing a Cisco HCS simulation in real-time:

As anyone who has had to deal with static sensors, it is hard to change
them on demand. In the video, we are changing a temperature sensor
at deterministic points in time to specific values. Try that with a blow
torch!

Free SNMP Simulator

Gambit is happy to provide you a free copy of our enterprise class
MIMIC SNMP Simulator Single license. You will be able to simulate one
SNMP agent with all the features of the full version of MIMIC,
including MIB Compiler, device/network recorder, trap generation,
Wizards and Simulator.

This will give you a fully functional SNMP simulator right out of the box,
and you won't have to depend on other limited featured or open
sourced simulators anymore.
Feel free to fill out the form to download a copy -
http://www.gambitcomm.com/site/products/free_snmp_simulator.shtml

MIMIC Simulator free download is available until end of year 2014.
This is available for new users of MIMIC only.

For a demo how to run MIMIC in a couple of minutes, see this
Youtube video .

Who to blame when your "smart" appliances do not work

Samsung recently had a data center outage, causing one frustrated
customer of their "smart" TV to reverse engineer why their TV would not
work despite a fully functioning Internet connection:

Having a single point of failure for your "smart" appliance may be just
an inconvenience in the case of TV service, but likely would have bigger
repercussions for energy, health, food, industrial and defense sectors.

MIMIC Web Simulator is particularly suited to simulate scenarios for
disaster recovery. Debug your web services applications before your
customers have to.

MIMIC Simulator 14.00 released

OSPF network simulated with MIMIC SNMP Simulator

FYI, we have released a network in the MIMIC Network Library with 98 routers
connected by OSPF routing tables. To show interoperability with third-party software,
this simulated network was discovered by traversing the SNMP agents, and visualized
by the open-source OSPFVIZ tool, shown below.

Once you reduce distances from a selected node, you can visualize sub-areas, for
example this shows nodes at distance 3 and less from the top node:

This shows CA SPECTRUM topology of the same network:
