Description
OPNET Panorama provides real-time performance analysis of complex applications (Java/.NET) by monitoring system and application metrics within each server and across all tiers. OPNET Panorama automatically differentiates abnormal versus normal behavior with advanced deviation tracking and correlation technologies.

Application developers and performance engineers use OPNET Panorama to gain valuable insight into historical and real-time performance patterns of business-critical applications. This enables IT staff to monitor thousands of application and system metrics proactively across multiple tiers, use these metrics to identify sources of performance problems or potential choke points, and thereby improve application response time and prevent application outages.

This introductory session offers a guided tour of Panorama features. It ensures that you understand the types of issues that you can solve with OPNET Panorama, understand core Panorama concepts, and have a thorough understanding of how to utilize the user interface to visualize data.
