The Scalable Networks Training Workshop is intended to teach new QualNet/EXata users to become proficient with the tool as quickly as possible. We also assist experienced modelers by teaching power user techniques and showcasing the newest features in QualNet/EXata. SNT Training Workshops are also an excellent opportunity for customers to provide feedback on QualNet/EXata, which helps us ensure that our software best serves our customers. The Scalable Networks Training Workshop consists of QualNet Training which is typically a 3-day course that gets progressively more advanced and 1 optional day for EXata Training.
  • Day 1 provides an introduction to the QualNet graphical user interface and networking concepts in the framework of QualNet.
  • Day 2 covers more advanced topics, such as building simple protocols in designer.
  • Day 3 is designed for experienced QualNet users and will feature advanced simulation concepts.
  • Day 4 (optional) is designed to assist EXata users in using emulation tools.
We invite you to bring your own questions or technical issues, submit them on Day One or Two, and on Day Three our consultants will do their best to address your issues individually or to the group, depending on time constraints.
