Integrated Suite Combines Cross-Domain Monitoring With Deep Forensic Analysis
for Unparalleled Speed and Accuracy in Diagnosing Root Cause of Critical
Performance Issues
BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for IT Service Assurance, this
week revealed its strategy for High Definition Application Performance
Management (APM). The announcement was made at OPNETWORK 2010, OPNET's annual
technology conference being held this week in Washington, D.C., with more than
1,800 registered attendees from around the world.
High Definition APM? addresses key challenges in effective IT service
management. A successful approach must be broad, since the typical enterprise
application relies on dozens or even hundreds of separate hardware and software
components, such as web servers, network devices, and data bases. Experts
employ specialized management tools to support each domain. Domain specific
knowledge is important, however this 'silo based' approach is insufficient to
effectively manage the end-to-end performance of IT services.
According to Alain Cohen, OPNET President and CTO, 'Some vendors who claim to
deliver 'end-to-end' APM merely present side-by-side views from multiple
management tools. A true end-to-end approach requires integration of data and
workflows across management domains. However, OPNET's concept of High
Definition APM goes beyond 'end-to-end' by emphasizing deeper,
higher-resolution data and advanced analytics to leverage that data to enable
root cause analytics and problem prevention.'
High Definition APM is characterized by very fine-grained metrics as well as
detailed transaction tracing to obtain a more accurate picture of the behavior
and performance of all components of the application infrastructure. Tools that
lack such detailed visibility often miss evidence of serious performance
issues.
Marc Cohen, OPNET Chairman and CEO, stated, 'More than merely a vision for
OPNET's future, High Definition APM is delivered in our products today, with a
greater degree of integration and forensic analysis than any other solution
suite in the industry. Today we are announcing new products that will further
fulfill our vision, and significantly advance the state of IT service
assurance. Additionally, we are redefining our solution suite to more clearly
convey its breadth and depth, including introducing a cohesive product naming
scheme that more clearly reflects the roles of all of our domain solutions and
the tight integration among them.'
OPNET announced OPNET Service Xpert? at OPNETWORK, a key new solution for
cross-domain management. Service Xpert enables a service model-driven approach
to performance management, with real-time business oriented views of the IT
environment that immediately communicate the impact of problems on application
performance. From these high level views, the user can drill into analytics
that will isolate the problem to a specific domain, and from there invoke deep
forensic analysis to diagnose the exact root cause. OPNET Service Xpert
leverages established application and infrastructure discovery capabilities
from across OPNET's application performance management and network performance
management solutions to construct the integrated service model.
According to Alain Cohen, OPNET President and CTO, 'The need for integration
between application and network performance management is becoming more acute
as the application infrastructure becomes more distributed and dynamic through
virtualization, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and inter-application
dependencies. OPNET Service Xpert will be a unifying solution providing
dashboards and correlation across not only our APM suite, but also our network
performance management suite. We are continuing to invest in synergistic
workflows among our solutions in order to expand the range of problems that can
be addressed, as well as increase the level of automation in IT service
management.'
AppDNA Xpert? was also introduced at OPNETWORK. AppDNA Xpert discovers
application components and maps them to a detailed infrastructure model to
automatically populate the end-to-end service model in OPNET Service Xpert.
OPNET announced the following additional offerings as part of its High
Definition APM suite:
AppTelemetry Xpert? uses remote instrumentation techniques to provide
visibility into the performance of the underlying application infrastructure,
including server and network devices. This solution is particularly useful
where direct instrumentation is not an option. Historical and real-time data
from infrastructure components is seamlessly incorporated into analyses across
OPNET's APM suite to provide a more complete picture. AppTelemetry Xpert also
discovers the application path and the elements traversed by the transaction,
retrieving targeted metrics to automate common troubleshooting work flows while
substantially improving their accuracy. AppTelemetry Xpert leverages and
extends capabilities drawn from OPNET's network management solutions to target
infrastructure performance metrics that are particularly valuable for detecting
and diagnosing application performance issues.
AppSQL Xpert? provides deep visibility into database activity and also measures
the performance of database transactions. The solution injects detailed
database performance metrics and tracing into the root cause analysis process.
AppInternals Xpert looks deep into the complex software frameworks of modern
servers, leveraging vast amounts of performance and forensic data to support
all aspects of service assurance from the server perspective. It performs High
Definition monitoring and forensic analysis for any type of application, and
excels in particular in Java and Microsoft .NET environments. AppInternals
Xpert uses unique technology to provide deep instrumentation with very low
overhead.
AppResponse Xpert uniquely combines end-user experience monitoring and in-depth
analysis of the behavior and performance of the underlying network. It
leverages the network's central role as a conduit for data and transactions to
obtain complete visibility of IT services across the enterprise. Real-time
on-board analytics determine which components in the application infrastructure
are contributing most to delays. AppResponse Xpert also incorporates Web
Transaction Analytics, monitoring the transactions of all web users in real
time and automatically identifying problematic web pages that are impacting
user experience. Unlike most network monitoring appliances, which focus on
either lower level network behavior or higher level business transactions,
AppResponse Xpert combines both in a single appliance.
AppTransaction Xpert is the most powerful tool available for detailed analysis
of application transactions captured from the live environment. AppTransaction
Xpert is able to shed light on transaction behavior and performance. The
software makes extensive use of patented visualization and analytics to
dramatically improve pre-deployment testing and prediction, and accelerate
troubleshooting in production. The combination of AppResponse Xpert and
AppTransaction Xpert is unique in the industry, providing a seamless workflow
that spans monitoring, alerting, triage, root cause diagnosis, and selected
recommendations for remediation.
Availability
Service Xpert and AppDNA Xpert are planned to be available from OPNET in the
second calendar quarter of 2011. AppTelemetry Xpert, AppSQL Xpert, AppInternals
Xpert, AppResponse Xpert, and AppTransaction Xpert are available now from
OPNET.
