Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Apposite Technologies?
Apposite Technologies is a company that builds tools for testing network performance. Founded in 2005 and based in Marina del Rey, California, it focuses on network emulation and traffic generation, recreating real-world network conditions and traffic in a lab so teams can see how their systems will perform. Its customers include enterprises, government agencies, telecom providers, and equipment manufacturers, and its tools are used in more than 40 countries by companies like Netflix, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, and Intel.
Q: What products does Apposite Technologies offer?
Apposite offers two main types of products: network emulation and traffic generation. Its network emulation toolssimulate real-world network conditions at different speeds, from smaller setups to high-performance environments up to 400 Gbps. There are also virtual and portable options like NetropyVE and Netropy Mini. On the traffic generation side, products like AppStorm simulate real application traffic, while DDoS Storm and DNS Storm are used to test security and DNS performance at scale. Apposite also offers an Attack Library with over 10,000 threat signatures to help test against a wide range of cyber threats.
Q: What industries does Apposite Technologies serve?
Apposite serves a wide range of industries where network reliability is critical. This includes government and defense organizations testing mission-critical and tactical systems, enterprises deploying SD-WAN and cloud infrastructure, telecom providers validating large-scale networks, and equipment manufacturers performing product testing. It also supports industries like finance, healthcare, media, and education that need to ensure their networks and applications will perform properly before going live.
Q: How does Apposite Technologies differ from competitors like Spirent and Keysight?
Apposite stands out by focusing on ease of use, strong performance for the price, and a more streamlined product offering. Compared to competitors like Spirent and Keysight, which often have more complex systems and higher costs, Apposite’s tools are designed to be quicker to set up, often through a simple browser-based interface. Its products cover a wide range of speeds from 100 Mbps to 400 Gbps, and it also offers modern API integration for automation, making it a good fit for teams using DevOps or NetOps workflows.
Q: Does Apposite Technologies serve government and military customers?
Yes, government and military organizations are a major part of Apposite’s customer base. Its products are available through established government purchasing programs like NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, and GSA Schedules. These organizations use Apposite tools to test things like satellite communications, tactical networks, and other mission-critical systems. Portable options like Netropy Mini are especially useful for field testing in remote or defense environments.
Q: Where is Apposite Technologies headquartered and how large is the company?
Apposite Technologies is headquartered in Marina del Rey, California. It is a privately held company with a relatively small team of around 30 employees. Despite its size, it serves customers in over 40 countries through a network of global partners and resellers, including companies like EPS Global, Carahsoft, and Four Inc.
Q: What types of network conditions can Apposite products simulate?
Apposite’s tools can recreate a wide range of real-world network conditions, such as limited bandwidth, latency, jitter, packet loss, congestion, and link errors. This allows teams to test how their applications and systems will behave in less-than-perfect conditions. Platforms like Netropy can simulate complex networks with multiple links, and includes a feature that records real network conditions and replays them in a lab. This makes testing more realistic by using actual data instead of just theoretical scenarios.
