OPNETWORK will host record number of participants over four days in Washington,
D.C.BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for application and network
performance management, today announced the opening of its annual technology
conference, focusing on advancing the state of application and network
performance management. OPNETWORK 2011, the fourteenth edition of the event,
also marks the 25th anniversary of the company's founding. A record number of
attendees - nearly 2,500 - have registered for the conference, which is being
held in Washington, D.C., August 29th through September 1st.
OPNETWORK is the largest event focusing on performance management, attracting
thought leaders from industry, government, and academic communities from all
over the world. This year's program will feature 600 hours of hands-on
training, expert panel discussions, case studies, and live demonstrations.
Marc Cohen, OPNET Chairman and CEO, stated, 'The theme for OPNETWORK this year
is managing application performance in the cloud. Increasingly, enterprises are
moving to a combination of computing platforms that include both private and
public cloud technologies. Performance management can become more challenging
with cloud computing, but by the same token, it becomes more necessary. This is
because there are more places for problems to exist, and more parties involved,
which leads to more finger pointing and longer resolution times. OPNET's
approach is to deploy a monitoring solution that itself is cloud-like. This
performance management architecture is highly scalable and dynamically expands
and contracts with an application's footprint. We are excited to be introducing
these new capabilities this week at OPNETWORK 2011.'
OPNET will highlight many new products and capabilities at the conference,
including:
-- Browser-based monitoring on mobile and desktop clients to capture real
end-user experience, especially when working with cloud services.
-- Virtual appliances and software agents for monitoring applications in
public and private clouds, and integrating results into the enterprise-wide
view of end-user experience.
-- Cross-tier transaction tracing and analysis across multiple tiers, with
long term storage and powerful search across hundreds of millions of
archived transactions.
-- Breakthrough capabilities for monitoring and analyzing the performance of
applications in Citrix environments.
Guest presenters at the conference will include Will Cappelli, Research VP,
Gartner, Inc., who will discuss the evolving role of APM in IT management, and
Bojan Simic, President and Principal Analyst, TRAC Research, Inc., who will
share the results of new research regarding end-user experience monitoring and
emerging priorities for enterprises. Additionally, senior IT representatives
from Fortune 100 organizations will describe best practices for performance
management, and business benefits realized with OPNET solutions.
OPNETWORK is free for OPNET maintained clients. Some courses are eligible for
Continuing Education Units.
