BETHESDA, Md., March 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications, today announced OPNET Panorama Release 6.0, with new capabilities for memory analysis and real-time memory leak troubleshooting. This latest software update also introduces new support for virtualized server environments.
Panorama provides real-time performance analysis of Java and .NET applications by monitoring system and application metrics within each server, across all tiers. Patented deviation tracking and correlation enable Panorama to automatically spot performance anomalies, dramatically accelerating troubleshooting and also detecting problems early, before they reach a critical state.
Memory leaks are common sources of performance problems in business applications, and are typically very difficult to detect and diagnose. Panorama 6.0 addresses this common performance problem for Java and .NET applications by detecting memory leaks in real-time. This new "always on" feature is delivered as a standard product capability. Other vendor solutions commonly require add-on modules that are run selectively in the event of a problem, and consequently are less effective in proactively addressing memory leak problems.
Panorama 6.0 also introduces new support for VMWare virtualized server environments, providing insight into physical resource consumption.
"OPNET Panorama 6.0 introduces important new capabilities that will deliver significant benefits to users," stated Alain Cohen, OPNET President & CTO. "Virtualization is a leading industry trend, and Panorama 6.0 delivers capabilities that enable organizations to more effectively manage virtual server environments. Further, this release introduces a significant leap forward in memory leak analysis -- a particularly challenging application issue that impacts many organizations. OPNET addresses the issue in a way that is significantly more proactive and effective than other vendors' solutions. Our memory leak analysis can be 'always on' in a production environment while maintaining low overhead, and in addition provides significantly more detail about the cause of the leak. This is another example of one of OPNET's key advantages: bringing customers the root-cause information they need to actually solve performance problems."
