Breakthrough Solution Targets Operational Workflows

BETHESDA, Md., 2011-01-05 14:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of high definition
application and network performance management solutions, today announced a new
offering that automatically produces a run-time application map, identifying
the underlying application and infrastructure components that enable a
production application. AppMapper Xpert will be available through a
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model, simplifying and accelerating its
adoption by IT organizations for all aspects of application management,
including performance troubleshooting, planning, virtualization, data center
consolidation, and cloud deployment.

–Unlike other industry approaches for IT dependency mapping, AppMapper Xpert
produces a run-time model of the application footprint,– according to Alain J.
Cohen, OPNET President and CTO. –This model of the application, captured at the
time of execution, is essential for troubleshooting application performance
problems. It also provides critical information to improve a host of other
operational workflows, such as configuration and change management, and data
center virtualization and consolidation. AppMapper Xpert provides unprecedented
visibility into the interaction between applications and the underlying
infrastructure, enabling IT organizations to be significantly more effective in
assessing and responding to events and conditions that affect application
service levels.–

Marc Cohen, OPNET Chairman and CEO, added, –AppMapper Xpert provides OPNET with
a significant competitive advantage for its APM suite. The SaaS delivery model
allows existing and new APM clients, as well as channel partners, to rapidly
deploy the solution.–

AppMapper Xpert is part of OPNET–s solution suite for high definition
application performance management. It utilizes data obtained from other
solutions in the portfolio, including AppResponse Xpert? and AppInternals
Xpert?.

AppResponse Xpert uniquely combines end-user experience monitoring and in-depth
analysis of the behavior and performance of the underlying network. It
leverages the network–s central role as a conduit for data and transactions to
obtain complete visibility of IT services across the enterprise.

AppInternals Xpert looks deep into the complex software frameworks of modern
servers, leveraging vast amounts of performance and forensic data to support
all aspects of service assurance from the server perspective. It performs high
definition monitoring and forensic analysis for any type of application, and
excels in particular in Java and Microsoft .NET environments.
