    Assessment Service
    Maintain control of your applications in the cloud. OPNET offers a range of solutions for application performance management across the diverse cloud deployment models.

    OPNET uniquely integrates information and workflows across application and network performance domains. Performance management instrumentation is flexible and well adapted to virtualized environments, including agentless browser-based instrumentation, agent-based monitoring, and virtual appliances to capture vital performance information on end-user browsers, servers, and on the network. A combination of physical and virtual appliances may be used to monitor end-user experience from outside the cloud.

    OPNET also offers Cloud Readiness Performance Assessment Service to help organizations with their transition to the cloud. Our consultants assess the suitability of applications for migration to the cloud, predict the impact of migration on application performance, and identify application dependencies to ensure successful deployment. Recommendations are provided to address any cloud performance issues found, and a plan is developed to effectively manage performance post-deployment.

    Benefits

    • Troubleshoot application performance problems faster.
    • Use cloud resources efficiently.
    • Verify that the service provider is meeting service level commitments.
    • Plan for application deployment in the cloud.

    Capabilities for Managing Performance in the Cloud

    Cloud deployment models differ in terms of the scope of IT resources that are controlled by the cloud provider versus the user. OPNET solution capabilities support a range of cloud models.

    • Agentless, browser-based monitoring to monitor end-user experience across different cloud models.
    • Agent-based data collection can be instantiated in the cloud along with server images.
    • Virtualized appliances provide visibility in the cloud and among virtual servers.
    • Accurate application dependency maps are generated automatically to ensure that the right components are migrated to the cloud.
    • SaaS-based management consoles are available in the cloud.
    • A combination of passive and active monitoring to support a variety of cloud models.
    • Network performance can be measured along any network path to isolate the source of a cloud performance problem to the cloud provider or your environment.

    Use OPNET solutions to manage application performance in public cloud and hybrid cloud environments:

    • Monitor end-user experience for applications hosted in the public cloud.
    • Analyze transactions end-to-end, to quickly determine the root cause of performance problems.
    • Diagnose performance bottlenecks in web, application, and database tiers, as well as across the network and into the browser.
    • Determine whether application performance is impacted by the cloud, the network used to access the cloud, or your internal environment.
    • Receive real-time alerts when network latency or throughput impacts the performance for your end-users.
    • Cost-effectively size your bandwidth requirements as you migrate applications to public clouds.
    • Determine the impact that cloud migration will have on application performance.
    • Generate accurate application dependency maps to ensure that the right components are migrated to the cloud.

     

     

    Use OPNET solutions to manage application performance in the private cloud:

    • Monitor end-user experience of applications hosted in the private cloud.
    • Trace transactions from the end-user, across the network and through all application tiers to identify performance bottlenecks.
    • Proactively identify network misconfigurations that could impact cloud service delivery.
    • Generate accurate application dependency maps to ensure that the right components are migrated to the cloud.
    • Cost-effectively size network bandwidth as you consolidate data centers and move components or entire applications to cloud computing.
    • Determine the impact that cloud migration will have on application performance.

     

     

    Use OPNET solutions to manage application performance in SaaS environments:

    • Monitor end-user experience for end-users of hosted applications.
    • Determine whether application performance is impacted by the cloud, the network used to access the cloud, or your internal environment.
    • Size network access to the SaaS environment.
