To support on-going activities with tier-one network operators and to establish NetScale as the reference next-generation network planning tool, N2Nsoft is looking for highly motivated and talented engineers. Please look at the job description in the "careers" tab. Note also that because the positions are based in Paris and are open now, we will only consider applicants that are based in the Paris area with all required work permits.

CEA (French Nuclear Agency) has selected N2Nsoft to help design and optimize an Ultra High Performance network (40 Gbits/s in the core, 10 Gbits/s in the access). CEA will utilize NetScale™ to simulate the network and design the most efficient transport layer. N2Nsoft will also provide consultancy services.

CEA has deployed Europe's most powerful computers. The installed computing power is currently of 50 Teraflops with 30 PetaBytes of central memory, growing to 500 Teraflops by year 2010. It has naturally given to CEA a central role in the CARRIOCAS project that aims at developing an economically viable solution for

• interactive simulation on remote supercomputers
• visualisation and collaborative processing of massive volumes of remote data stored in distributed areas.

CARRIOCAS involves major players from industry, research and universities in the Paris region. An experimental network will be deployed linking sites from CEA, EDF (Electricite de France), Orsay University and INRIA then extended to other industries.

Such a project demonstrates N2Nsoft's unique added-value. NetScale™ will be used in all the phases of the project. First as a network design environment: prototype implementations will be integrated into NetScale™ for design and test. Then to understand and extrapolate observations made in the testbed. And finally to reproduce and validate the behavior of the full network.

01 Informatique, the leading French weekly magazine for enterprise IS solutions, features an article on N2Nsoft.

N2NSoft will be participating at 3GSM 2007. Our NetScale™ tool will be demonstrated at the Nortel booth featuring Nortel's engineering service offerings. Nortel and N2NSoft have jointly entered the 3GSM "Best Network Quality Initiative Award" contest. By using NetScale™, high speed data wireless networks can be efficiently engineered. The full network can be designed and dimensioned through a realistic simulation on a laptop. Complemented by Network Audit and Real Traffic Analysis services performed by Nortel engineers, the tool allows wireless network operators to optimize their network with high efficiency. In particular, this offering addresses the critical need of providers of high speed wireless data services to optimize their transmission backbone - a business-critical need for HSPA service providers.

Pierre Eisenmann joins N2NSoft 2006 as Chief Operating Officer (COO). A telecom industry veteran, he is in charge of N2NSoft's business development. He previously worked for 11 years at Nortel. In his last position at Nortel, he developed powerful performance analysis and optimization services for wireless data operators, serving more than 24 customers worldwide, most of them affiliates of the major wireless service providers. These activities were nominated for the "Best Network Quality Initiative" at 3GSM 2006. He is the coauthor of 7 conference papers and 2 patents on wireless data traffic engineering.

The simulation methodology description of NetScale has been published in the Computer Communication Review of the ACM SIGCOMM, October 2006. This paper presents a scalable time-stepped hybrid simulation algorithm which is well adapted to the simulation of large IP networks (up to one million of competing flows and network elements), while tracking reactive traffic behaviour and packet-level phenomena e.g. timeout trigger or packet burstiness. This simulation paradigm allows one to gain several orders of magnitude of computation time compared to traditional discrete event simulation approaches. The accuracy of this simulation method is evaluated by comparison to other simulation methodologies. Examples of large scale network simulations are also presented. More info...

The CIADT (Governement Commitee for Development and Land Use Planning) has awarded the System@Tic project with the "Pôle de compétitivité" (Competitive Cluster) label. N2NSoft is part of this project along with other French companies, both major and small. Tax cuts and direct subsidies will foster R&D activities centered on the design and deployement of complex hardware and software systems. More info...

On the evening of April 19, at the Maison des Arts et Métiers in Paris, INRIA has celebrated twenty years of company creation with 300 actors of the economic and new technology sectors, with the Minister for Industry and the Minister for Research. A new label, "Born of INRIA", has been unveiled and is now displayed on our website. "Born of INRIA" is a label meant to let companies stemming from INRIA proclaim their association with a scientific community recognized worldwide and their capacity to remain at the leading edge of technological innovation.
