New release extends real-time monitoring and forensic analysis of business applications to maximize performance
BETHESDA, MD – May 3, 2007 – OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leading provider of management software for networks and applications, recently announced the general availability of Version 4.0 of the OPNET PanoramaTM solution suite, including OPNET Panorama for Production and OPNET Panorama Plus for QA. The OPNET Panorama solution suite provides real-time performance analysis of complex Java/J2EE applications by monitoring system and application metrics within each server, across all tiers. It automatically spots performance anomalies with advanced deviation tracking and correlation technologies, pinpointing symptoms that might otherwise go undetected.
OPNET President & CTO, Alain Cohen, stated, "With this new release, we have introduced multiple technology breakthroughs aimed directly at true root-cause determination for application performance issues. First, we are delivering powerful new forensic data capture capabilities for IT teams working on troubleshooting in the production environment, as well as those involved in pre-deployment testing. Next, we are making integration between our Panorama and ACE solutions generally available. Panorama's in-depth Java analysis, coupled with ACE’s market-leading network-based application analysis, provides the industry's first solution for integrated application troubleshooting across network and system layers."
Peco Karayanev, Web Systems Engineer, National Instruments, stated, "The new OPNET Panorama 4.0 has a number of new features that empower us to do more in-depth analysis, troubleshoot more quickly, and accurately find application and system bottlenecks. Forensics, thread statistics, reporting, metric manageability, and especially the new Transaction Visualizer are very useful features that take the Panorama platform to a new level! We use it regularly to isolate and correct performance and availability issues with our J2EE applications.”
