Opnet APM Xpert application performance management suite

The Opnet APM Xpert application performance management suite is said to accelerate problem resolution, enable problem prevention and improve the efficiency of both IT infrastructure and IT staff resources.

The suite includes the following:

AppResponse Xpert combines end-user experience monitoring and in-depth analysis of the behaviour and performance of the underlying network. It leverages the network’s central role as a conduit for data and transactions to obtain complete visibility of IT services across the enterprise. Real-time onboard analytics determine which components in the application infrastructure are contributing most to delays.

AppInternals Xpert looks into the complex software frameworks of modern applications, leveraging large amounts of performance and forensic data to support all aspects of service assurance from the server perspective. It performs high-definition monitoring, forensic data collection for all transactions and powerful analytics for any type of application, and excels in particular in Java and Microsoft .NET environments.

AppMapper Xpert automatically produces a run-time application map, identifying the underlying application and infrastructure components that enable a production application. It leverages a large repository of operational data obtained from Opnet solutions and instrumentation already deployed for performance management.

AppTransaction Xpert and AppTransaction Xpert Packet Trace Warehouse provide centralised management and in-depth analysis of transaction forensics collected across the enterprise.

AppSQL Xpert provides deep visibility into database performance through real-time monitoring of a broad range of metrics, with drilldowns to fine-grained forensic database transaction data for troubleshooting. It performs detailed tracking of database usage for trending and performance optimisation and offers an agentless approach.

AppSensor Xpert uses agentless, remote instrumentation to capture additional performance information from all types of infrastructure components, including servers, application components, network devices, storage systems and manufacturer-specific management systems. It supplies this data to Opnet’s APM solution suite for a more complete picture of end-to-end application performance.
