HP and OPNET Accelerate Delivery of Mobile Services for Telefónica Móviles España
New integrated offering enhances configuration and performance management
PALO ALTO, Calif. and BETHESDA, Md.,
Jan. 11, 2005 – HP and OPNET
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPNT) today announced that Telefónica
Móviles España, S.A. - the leading telecommunications
operator in the Spanish market - has selected a combined solution
from the companies to forecast the impact and accelerate the
delivery of new mobile services.
Telefónica Móviles will use HP OpenView operational
management solutions and OPNET's SP Guru software to rapidly
design and deploy advanced services over a new Multi-protocol
Label Switching/Internet Protocol network in Spain.
The companies also announced an expanded line of HP-certified
offerings that enhance configuration and performance management
capabilities of system and network resources. These expanded
solutions were showcased last month in Madrid at HP Software
Universe, where OPNET received the HP OpenView Solution Alliance
Achiever's Award. The award recognized OPNET for joint business
success resulting from its product suite integration with HP's
Infrastructure Management and Application Management Solutions.
"The availability of OPNET's enhanced HP-certified, multi-integration
offering is aimed at delivering tightly coupled design, troubleshooting and
management capabilities," said Todd DeLaughter, vice president and general
manager, Management Software Organization, HP.
"This type of high-caliber solution will help enable IT
organizations to improve the alignment of technical provisioning
requirements across systems, networks and applications to meet
business demands."
Product integrations available from HP and OPNET include the
following:
- System performance: For predictive capacity and performance planning, system workload data from HP OpenView Performance Agent data is imported into OPNET Guru products via HP OpenView Interconnect. This provides a smooth interface for capacity planning studies. The HP OpenView Interconnect interface is included with OPNET's new System Performance module for HP OpenView.
- Network configuration and performance: For network change management, HP OpenView Network Node Manager topology and event information is compatible with the OPNET product suite. OPNET's NetDoctor technology provides expert validation of proposed configuration changes within OPNET Guru products. With OPNET's new Sentinel product line, NetDoctor analyses are fully automated, enabling regular network integrity and security audits of production networks. HP OpenView Performance Insight data supports predictive network analyses using OPNET's Guru products to identify future capacity requirements during the infrastructure planning process.
- Application performance: For end-to-end application performance troubleshooting, HP OpenView GlancePlus server performance metrics feed diagnostics of multi-tier IP applications within OPNET's Application Characterization Environment (ACE). OPNET's ACE analyses can also be automatically activated by the HP OpenView Internet Services product, which monitors application service levels.
