OPNET Unveils Capabilities for Managing Application Performance in the Cloud
30 August 2011 - 3:03PM
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of
solutions for application and network performance management, is
introducing an array of new capabilities for extending application
performance management (APM) to the cloud. The announcement came at
OPNETWORK, its annual technology conference being held this week in
Washington, D.C. from August 29th to September 1st.
Notably, OPNET introduced a new architecture called Federated
Analytics, a highly scalable approach to monitoring application
performance by distributing key performance analysis functions to
the edge, closer to where data originates. Unlike traditional
approaches where analysis is performed on a central platform
requiring large amounts of data to traverse the infrastructure,
Federated Analytics is significantly more efficient and
consequently, particularly well suited to the cloud. OPNET
demonstrated the Federated Analytics approach applied to multiple
aspects of application performance management in public and private
clouds, including end-user experience monitoring, deep application
component monitoring, transaction following, and application
discovery and dependency mapping.
"OPNET has introduced Federated Analytics specifically to
address the needs of cloud computing architectures" stated Alain
Cohen, OPNET's President and CTO. "Private cloud technology is
being adopted rapidly for enterprise applications, and
increasingly, public cloud components are being introduced to form
hybrid application architectures. As application components scale
dynamically and also become more distributed, traditional
centralized performance management approaches are not tenable. The
concept of distributing performance management and analytics goes
hand in hand with the highly scalable and flexible characteristics
of cloud computing."
At OPNETWORK, the company also showcased new browser-based end
user experience (EUE) management, which is particularly suited to
measuring response times for applications served from cloud
platforms. Distinct approaches were demonstrated to support mobile
end users and software as a service (SAAS)-based enterprise
applications. OPNET's Director of Application Performance
Management Technology, Russ Elsner, stated "The concept generally
referred to as cloud computing consists of a number of different
approaches to delivering application services to users. These
various approaches require different technologies for measuring end
user experience. OPNET is taking a multi-pronged approach to end
user experience management in order to cover the evolving needs of
enterprises that are adopting cloud technology."
