Abstract

A computer network for providing a test environment is disclosed. The computer network may include at least one simulated network for simulating at least a portion of the infrastructure of a production network. The computer network may further include a network simulation module in communication with the simulated network for simulating at least one parameter of the production network, and a plurality of client simulation computers in communication with the simulated network via the network simulation module. Each client simulation computer may be configured to replicate at least one of a hardware configuration and a software configuration of a production network client.
