OPNET Extends Application Performance Management to Encompass Storage Infrastructure
08 März 2011 - 2:49PM
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of
solutions for application and network performance management, today
announced new capabilities in its APM Xpert™ solutions that will
extend application performance management to encompass the storage
infrastructure. Enterprise applications rely on dedicated storage
systems to store vast amounts of critical information; however,
application performance management solutions often lack visibility
into storage performance metrics. Enhancements to OPNET's
AppInternals Xpert™ will provide insight into the source of storage
related application performance problems.
AppInternals Xpert looks deep into the complex software
frameworks of modern applications, 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 leverages a standards-based approach to
obtain performance metrics from storage network devices and storage
arrays, such as read and write throughput, session and connection
errors, and cache hits. OPNET's patented cross-tier analytics
leverage this information to pinpoint the root cause of performance
problems, accelerating troubleshooting.
"Other APM solutions largely ignore the storage domain,"
according to Yev Gurevich, OPNET Senior Vice President of
Engineering. "AppInternals Xpert points to the root cause of
performance problems, including those problems that originate in
the storage system. Its patented analytics examine thousands of
measurements to detect relationships among application components
including storage, database, and application server tiers. It
utilizes a passive, non-intrusive mechanism to obtain visibility
into the storage domain, consistent with OPNET's strategy to
minimize application overhead."
AppInternals Xpert monitors a wide range of storage vendors,
leveraging open standards from the Storage Networking Industry
Association (SNIA). OPNET recently joined SNIA, which is a
not-for-profit trade association dedicated to developing and
promoting standards, technologies, and educational services that
expand the breadth and quality of the storage and information
management market. "We welcome OPNET to SNIA and are happy
that they have made a commitment to make storage less complicated
for the end user through the advancement of responsible storage
practices that help manage the ever-growing volume of data at
businesses today," said Wayne M. Adams, Chairman of SNIA. "We
anticipate that OPNET will be a proactive member of the association
helping to support our shared mission and values that empower
companies in these management processes and we look forward to
their contributions within our organization."
This latest announcement extends OPNET's high definition
approach to application performance management, which emphasizes
broad domain coverage and deep visibility into the target domain.
High Definition APM embodies the critical attributes of an
effective APM solution, and is also characterized by analytics to
extract salient information from vast datasets, integration for
cross-domain workflows and visibility, and low overhead for
production ready solutions.
Availability:
OPNET's new storage management capabilities will be available
with an upcoming release of AppInternals Xpert. The company is now
commencing field trials, with general availability expected in the
second quarter of 2011.
