New Performance Management and User Analytics Capabilities Target
Business-Level WorkflowsBETHESDA, Md., Feb. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for application and network
performance management, today announced a new offering for business transaction
management (BTM). This new offering is based on a combination of capabilities
in several of the solutions within its APM Xpert? suite. Business transactions
are composite workflows consisting of multiple user-level transactions with an
online system. Business stakeholders measure application performance in terms
of business transactions and are interested in understanding not only the
performance experienced by users, but also their behavior, including their
'click path' and potential reasons they may have abandoned a transaction.
BTM Xpert relies on OPNET's AppResponse Xpert? appliance to intercept all
business transactions, analyze their performance, and perform user analytics.
This includes a funnel analysis showing how a population of users progresses
through the multiple steps of a business transaction. BTM Xpert also relies on
OPNET's AppInternals Xpert? solution to follow transactions through a back-end
infrastructure consisting of multiple tiers, including application and database
servers. By following a transaction through each tier and providing a
consolidated view of the data across all tiers together with end user
experience, BTM Xpert provides customers with the ability to determine which
part of the infrastructure is responsible for performance degradation.
'With this new offering, OPNET is leveraging its unique position as a leader in
several areas: end user experience monitoring; deep component monitoring and
transaction tracing within the back-end infrastructure; and high-volume
forensic data collection,' according to Alain Cohen, OPNET's President and CTO.
'This is a powerful combination of technologies that we believe constitutes a
break-through in the performance management space, because we are synthesizing
all relevant data for a transaction, spanning all levels of granularity, across
both server and network assets. While traditional Business Transaction
Management combines end user experience monitoring with transaction following,
OPNET is taking this approach to the next step by joining two key capabilities:
user analytics that identify when performance issues are impacting business;
and deep transaction tracing down to the code level for the most precise
possible root cause analysis.'
'OPNET is excited to be able to provide IT Analysts and Performance Engineers
with entirely new views of how transactions unfold in a complex
infrastructure,' added Cohen. 'Due to trends such as service oriented
architectures, virtualization, and cloud computing, applications are becoming
increasingly distributed and complex. Being able to discover, correlate, and
visualize all the information that constitutes a transaction as it traverses
this infrastructure represents a key management capability for IT
organizations.'
BTM Xpert is a solution bundle consisting of several solutions in the OPNET APM
Xpert suite, including AppResponse Xpert and AppInternals Xpert. Customers may
obtain the capabilities of BTM Xpert by purchasing the bundle, or its
constituent solutions.
