OPNET's IT Sentinel® and SP Sentinel® enable organizations to ensure network integrity and security. IT Sentinel and SP Sentinel perform automated, systematic, network-wide configuration audits of the production network, identifying configuration errors that can impact network availability, performance, and security.

OPNET IT NETCOP™ and SP NETCOP™ provide graphical visualization of heterogeneous networks, including assets and their current status. NETCOP automates and simplifies network management by collecting and unifying real-time operational data from a wide range of commercially available network devices and element management systems. NETCOP provides intuitive graphical views for improved network situational awareness and security, as well as rapid network analysis and troubleshooting.

OPNET offers a suite of consulting services specifically designed to enable users to maximize the value they realize from their investment in these technologies. These services include implementation, knowledge transfer, remote or on-site administration, and on-site staff augmentation.

OPNET's consulting engineers are available to support R&D planning for complex networks that leverage the latest technologies and protocols. Our staff has an in-depth understanding of networking technologies (e.g., IP, Optical, Satellite, and Wireless), protocols (e.g., IPv6, MANET, MPLS, QoS, WiMAX, WLAN, etc.), and optimization techniques. This knowledge, combined with enabling technologies such as hybrid and discrete event simulation, system-in-the-loop, 3D visualization, and a comprehensive model library of devices, applications, and protocols, allows OPNET to rapidly model and analyze sophisticated networks to optimize performance. OPNET will also develop custom device and protocol models not currently supported in the OPNET standard model library.
