Reduces Risks for Cloud-Based Application Deployments

BETHESDA, Md., 2010-12-29 22:07 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of high definition
application and network performance management solutions, today announced a new
service for clients and partners to ensure successful migration of applications
to cloud computing environments. OPNET's Cloud Readiness Performance Assessment
offering controls the risks associated with such a migration, thereby
accelerating the move to cloud computing and ensuring end-to-end application
performance.

Cloud computing encompasses several approaches, from implementing server
virtualization within the organization's own data center to offer flexible
computing resources to business users, to running applications on a cloud
provider's infrastructure and paying as a function of resource consumption.
Cloud computing can offer significant benefits, including reduced operating
costs and greater flexibility in deploying applications. However, like any
major change to the operating environment, it can have a significant impact on
application performance. Additionally, vital application performance management
functions can be hindered because cloud-based approaches can reduce end-to-end
application visibility.

The Cloud Readiness Performance Assessment takes advantage of OPNET's
industry-leading expertise to analyze applications and their dependencies prior
to deployment. Leveraging proven methodologies and tools, it accurately
predicts how an application will perform when migrated to the cloud. OPNET's
consultants develop recommendations to address any issues that are found, and
generate a plan to effectively manage performance after deployment into the

cloud. The offering also assists the organization in determining which
applications are best suited for migration to the cloud with respect to
performance considerations.

'Our customers have clearly expressed concerns about the impact of cloud
computing on their business applications. OPNET's new Cloud Readiness
Performance Assessment service directly addresses this need by combining our
field-proven experience with our suite of monitoring, troubleshooting, and
planning solutions,' stated Marc Cohen, OPNET Chairman and CEO. 'Our service
was also developed in response to requests from our partners who require our
focused application performance expertise to enhance their broad range of cloud
migration and cloud computing services.'

Availability

The Cloud Readiness Assessment offering is available now from OPNET
Technologies, Inc.
