Standards-Based Approach Expands Visibility to Improve Monitoring and
Troubleshooting
BETHESDA, Md., 2011-03-08 15:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for
application and network performance management, today announced new
capabilities in its APM Xpert? solutions that will extend application
performance management to encompass the storage infrastructure. Enterprise
applications rely on dedicated storage systems to store vast amounts of
critical information; however, application performance management solutions
often lack visibility into storage performance metrics. Enhancements to OPNET's
AppInternals Xpert? will provide insight into the source of storage related
application performance problems.
AppInternals Xpert looks deep into the complex software frameworks of modern
applications, 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.
AppInternals Xpert leverages a standards-based approach to obtain performance
metrics from storage network devices and storage arrays, such as read and write
throughput, session and connection errors, and cache hits. OPNET's patented
cross-tier analytics leverage this information to pinpoint the root cause of
performance problems, accelerating troubleshooting.
'Other APM solutions largely ignore the storage domain,' according to Yev
Gurevich, OPNET Senior Vice President of Engineering. 'AppInternals Xpert
points to the root cause of performance problems, including those problems that
originate in the storage system. Its patented analytics examine thousands of
measurements to detect relationships among application components including
storage, database, and application server tiers. It utilizes a passive,
non-intrusive mechanism to obtain visibility into the storage domain,
consistent with OPNET's strategy to minimize application overhead.'
AppInternals Xpert monitors a wide range of storage vendors, leveraging open
standards from the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). OPNET
recently joined SNIA, which is a not-for-profit trade association dedicated to
developing and promoting standards, technologies, and educational services that
expand the breadth and quality of the storage and information management
market. 'We welcome OPNET to SNIA and are happy that they have made a
commitment to make storage less complicated for the end user through the
advancement of responsible storage practices that help manage the ever-growing
volume of data at businesses today,' said Wayne M. Adams, Chairman of SNIA. 'We
anticipate that OPNET will be a proactive member of the association helping to
support our shared mission and values that empower companies in these
management processes and we look forward to their contributions within our
organization.'
This latest announcement extends OPNET's high definition approach to
application performance management, which emphasizes broad domain coverage and
deep visibility into the target domain. High Definition APM embodies the
critical attributes of an effective APM solution, and is also characterized by
analytics to extract salient information from vast datasets, integration for
cross-domain workflows and visibility, and low overhead for production ready
solutions.
Availability:
OPNET's new storage management capabilities will be available with an upcoming
release of AppInternals Xpert. The company is now commencing field trials, with
general availability expected in the second quarter of 2011.
