Partnership to Help Customers Optimize Resources and Assure Service
Levels ISLANDIA, N.Y., and BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Computer Associates International, Inc.
(NYSE:CA) and OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPNT) today
announced a global sales and marketing agreement that combines CA's
performance monitoring, trend analysis, and reporting solutions
with OPNET's s modeling and capacity planning products. The OPNET
products include OPNET's award-winning IT Guru platform with Server
and Mainframe Modeling modules adapted for CA products, and OPNET's
Application Characterization Environment. The agreement also
includes terms for OPNET and CA to cooperate in offering
professional services and support. "To maximize performance and
minimize downtime, IT organizations must address both day-to-day
performance problems and long-term performance and capacity
issues," said Alan Nugent, senior vice president and general
manager, Enterprise Systems Management Business Unit, Computer
Associates. "CA's partnership with OPNET provides our customers
with robust modeling and planning capabilities to effectively
address both of these optimization issues." Combined with Unicenter
Systems Performance and NeuMICS Resource Management software, the
OPNET products enable customers to more effectively implement
business-critical and/or delay-sensitive applications -- including
Web services, VoIP, and video -- across distributed server and
mainframe systems. Customers can simulate "what-if" scenarios to
model changes in workload, as well as in server (Windows) and
mainframe (z/OS) hardware and software configurations, across the
enterprise. According to Forrester Research, "capacity planning
must evaluate a complete process in terms of resource consumption,
its future impact on performance, and the bottlenecks that might
affect expected service levels. It also includes the capability to
evaluate, through modeling, the effects of a resource reaction on
service performance." * Richard G. Broden, vice president/manager
of Integrated Performance Engineering with Bank of America will
discuss best practices associated with CA and OPNET products at CA
World next week in Las Vegas, NV. Broden will explain how IT
organizations can effectively anticipate resource and capacity
requirements before implementing IT projects in production in order
to meet service level agreements. "We are pleased that CA has
selected our systems performance and capacity modeling technologies
to deliver additional value to our mutual customers," said Marc
Cohen, chairman and CEO, OPNET Technologies. "OPNET shares CA's
vision that IT management processes need to be managed more
proactively to properly support today's dynamic,
technology-dependent business operations." Prior to CA's
acquisition of Concord Communications, OPNET was a member of
Concord's eHealth Ready Partner Program. As a result, OPNET's
network modeling solutions import network link load data from
eHealth to more effectively manage the impact of changes to the
network infrastructure. * The Evolution of Infrastructure
