Bethesda, MD -- May
6, 2002 -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPNT), the
leading provider of intelligent network management software,
today announced a significantly enhanced release of its ACE
Module, which provides advanced troubleshooting and analysis
for networked applications.
Alain Cohen, OPNET's President & CTO, stated, "We believe
this new release of ACE represents a major breakthrough because
of how quickly it delivers ROI to mainstream IT professionals. Most
businesses depend on their networked applications - our ACE software
is the best solution available for isolating the source of end-to-end
performance problems and quantifying the benefits of alternative
fixes."
Key new ACE features include:
- New advanced transactional analysis capabilities, which leverage best-in-class protocol and application decode technology
- ACE QuickPredict for instantly predicting the impact of changes to key network parameters such as latency, bandwidth, packet loss, congestion, and TCP window sizes
- ACE QuickRecode for rapidly evaluating the performance improvements that would result from application code changes
- ACE Wizard for automatically generating sophisticated models of networks and applications based on captured application transactions, for advanced what-if analysis
- Support for local and remote application capture on a broad range of platforms including: Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000), Solaris, Linux, HPUX, and AIX
- Enhanced web reporting functionality for collaboration among application deployment and troubleshooting teams
ACE's new capture and analysis features benefit from ACE's unique N-tier Trace Synchronization feature for merging multiple application capture files from the same transaction, enabling end-to-end analysis of multi-tier applications.
Mike Pennacchi, Managing NetAnalyst at Pine Mountain Group, world class experts in critical problem resolution, stated "This release appears to contain several 'industry first' features that allow detailed, fast analysis of end-to-end application performance while taking into account the complex dynamics of today's IT infrastructures."
