BETHESDA, Md., July 10, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications, today announced OPNET Panorama(tm) 5.5 software, its solution for real-time application monitoring and analytics across complex, multi-server infrastructures. This latest release introduces enhancements for large scale implementations, enabling centralized management for large numbers of servers.

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. New enhancements provide greater flexibility in configuring Panorama to support large scale environments, enabling multiple approaches to centralized management.

"Panorama appeals to a broad range of customers, from mid-size organizations to very large, global enterprises," stated Alain Cohen, OPNET's President and Chief Technology Officer. "This latest release will provide our users with powerful new options for implementing Panorama in large-scale environments. For instance, Panorama customers can now access a 'single pane of glass' covering a very large number of servers, and still maintain the ability to drill down to even more detailed forensic data on any part of the managed infrastructure."

OPNET is also announcing that Panorama will be available through their SYNERGY(tm) Partners. Announced earlier this year, the OPNET SYNERGY channel program is designed to increase the penetration of OPNET solutions among mid-size IT enterprises. SYNERGY Partners also represent other solutions in OPNET's Application Performance Management Suite, including ACE(tm) Live and ACE(tm) Analyst, which leverage unique, advanced analytics for end-to-end application performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and problem resolution.

"Being an OPNET SYNERGY Partner enables us to offer industry recognized solutions to help solve our clients' application performance monitoring and management needs," stated Phillip Odom, Managing Partner, iSight Software Corporation. "Managing critical business processes requires the ability to view the health and availability of applications in real time. We see the OPNET ACE and Panorama products as the cornerstones of those solutions."
