New Capability Provides Unprecedented End-to-End Visibility of Applications
Deployed Using Citrix(R) Application Virtualization

BETHESDA, Md., 2011-08-31 14:51 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for
application and network performance management, today announced a new solution
for managing the performance of applications that run in a Citrix environment.
This new module for OPNET's AppResponse Xpert(r) solution provides end-to-end
visibility of user transactions that traverse a Citrix server, enabling faster,
more accurate diagnosis of application performance problems. The announcement
came at OPNETWORK, the company's annual technology conference being held this
week in Washington, D.C., where OPNET is performing live demonstrations of the
solution.

Citrix application virtualization technology enables Microsoft Windows
applications to be virtualized and centralized, and delivered to users as a
service. It is a prevalent technology for delivering applications due to its
ability to vastly reduce administration costs, make more efficient use of IT
resources, and improve the performance of enterprise applications over wide
area and mobile networks. While powerful and beneficial, the Citrix environment
can present new challenges to IT departments when troubleshooting application
performance issues.

'OPNET is excited to introduce this new capability,' stated P.J. Malloy,
OPNET's Senior Vice President of R&D. 'Many of OPNET's customers have
implemented a Citrix server because of the clear benefits that it offers.
However, troubleshooting application performance in a Citrix environment
requires certain information to be correlated, which until now has been a




painstaking manual, or even impossible process. Specifically, a key challenge
for troubleshooters is being able to follow user Citrix sessions through the
Citrix server and associate them with their corresponding back-end activity.
This is crucial in order to be able to find the actual source of a performance
problem which could lie in many different components. This correlation is
exactly what our new Citrix performance management solution for AppResponse
Xpert does.'

Once this correlation is performed, AppResponse Xpert leverages its proven
transaction monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to analyze the overall
user session. The solution is also able to collect front-end Citrix server
performance statistics, as well as back-end application and database
performance metrics in order to provide a holistic performance dashboard for
Citrix server-hosted applications.

AppResponse Xpert uniquely combines end-user experience monitoring and in-depth
analysis of the behavior 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
on-board analytics determine which components in the application infrastructure
are contributing most to delays.

Availability:

The new Citrix performance management module will be available in the fourth
calendar quarter of 2011 from OPNET Technologies, and supports XenApp 5, 6, and
6.5.
