OPNET Delivers HAIPE® Network Planning and Configuration Validation
BETHESDA, MD – April 10 , 2007 –OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leading provider of management software for networks and applications, today announced new capabilities for planning and validating the configuration of High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) networks. HAIPE encryption devices comply with the National Security Agency’s (NSA) HAIPE Interoperability Specification, a suite of features for traffic protection, networking, and management to ensure secure interoperability between IP encryption devices. HAIPE devices are emerging as a standard for protecting IP traffic for national security systems.
New capabilities include support for modeling and simulating HAIPE devices, as well as analyzing their configuration. Users are able to design secure and resilient HAIPE networks, and predict the impact of their deployment on existing networks. They can also validate a proposed network configuration, including HAIPE devices, to ensure network integrity, security, and policy compliance.
Marc A. Cohen, OPNET Chairman and CEO, stated, “Modeling is critical for engineering efficient HAIPE networks and minimizing the impact of encryption on network performance and application response time. OPNET is pleased to deliver solutions that facilitate the deployment of this emerging technology.”
The new functionality is available in OPNET Modeler®, Modeler® Wireless Suite, Modeler® Wireless Suite for Defense, and IT Guru® Network Planner.
