OPNET APM Xpert(TM) Solutions Receive Accolades From Enterprise Management Associates
22 März 2011 - 9:05PM
- New EMA Impact Brief highlights rich functionality and proven
capabilities of AppMapper Xpert™ offering
- Expands upon EMA's top ranking of OPNET's APM Xpert solutions,
including "Best Operational BSM" and "Value Leader" with "#1
overall feature strength"
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of
solutions for application and network performance management, today
announced recognition by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) in
a new research report, "OPNET AppMapper Xpert Brings Real-time
Perspectives to Application Ecosystem Performance and
Optimization," published last week. The report expands upon other
recent EMA reviews of OPNET APM Xpert solutions.
According to the new research report's primary author, Dennis
Drogseth, VP of Research at EMA:
"OPNET's early 2011 introduction of AppMapper Xpert is not only
the most recent, but arguably the most complete system for bringing
true application-ecosystem currency, with its many software and
infrastructure interdependencies, into a broader service management
context."
Mr. Drogseth explained further that, "While OPNET's core buyer
set is in Operations, the company has branched out to support a
growing constituency in application management. EMA believes
the Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM) market is
evolving out of necessity to support a wide variety of technologies
with a growing focus on real-time or run-time currency, ease of
deployment, richer service impact information, and more evolved
support for virtualization and Cloud environments. OPNET's
AppMapper Xpert embodies all of these trends, and as such should
provide increasing value to customers while serving as a catalyst
for positive industry advancement."
AppMapper Xpert provides dynamic run-time application
infrastructure reports based on data sets supplied by other APM
Xpert solutions. These solutions monitor and trace application
activity across the operational environment, gathering fine-grained
data from a broad range of sources, including application
frameworks (.NET and Java), database servers, network traffic,
virtual and physical operating systems, and management solutions,
such as VMware vSphere.
In Q3 2010, EMA published two research reports in which
individual OPNET APM Xpert solutions that feed data to AppMapper
Xpert were reviewed. Products from various vendors were ranked into
four tiers: Value Leader, Strong Value, Specific Value, and Limited
Value based on cost, deployability, architecture, and
functionality. In both reports, OPNET solutions ranked in the
highest tier, Value Leader.
The first report, "EMA Radar for Application-Aware Network
Performance Management," reviewed 18 vendors based on their ability
to provide application awareness across a range of network and
application technologies. Although the network is only one of
several sources of application awareness provided by the OPNET APM
Xpert suite, OPNET was one of only two vendors to receive the Value
Leader distinction. According to author Jim Frey, Research
Director at EMA, "OPNET ranked #1 overall in feature strength,
supported by top rankings in application discovery/recognition,
metrics and measurements, capacity planning, and advanced
analysis."
The second report, "EMA Radar for Business Service Management
(BSM)," ranked 14 vendors based on their ability to bring together
a unified view of IT service performance as it impacts business
outcomes. OPNET again received the Value Leader distinction
and a special award for "Best Operational BSM" offering. Among
OPNET's strengths highlighted in the report were, "pervasive
monitoring and diagnostics across networks, systems and
applications," and "well established capabilities to assimilate
infrastructure-related topologies and performance information from
a wide variety of third-party sources."
OPNET's CEO, Marc Cohen, stated, "We are pleased to receive
recognition from EMA that validates our approach to Application
Performance Management. Our recent entry into application
dependency mapping, based on a dynamic run-time solution, provides
OPNET with a significant competitive differentiator. We are
leveraging the rich forensic and performance data produced by the
rest of our APM suite to solve a long standing problem in IT, which
is accurate discovery of an application's footprint."
