OPNET announced the availability of Release 5.0 of OPNET Panorama, its solution for real-time application monitoring and analytics across complex, multi-server infrastructures. This latest release extends Panorama’s deep instrumentation to .NET applications, delivering full life-cycle application performance management for .NET and Java environments in a single solution.

Panorama provides real-time performance analysis of complex applications by monitoring system and application metrics within each server, across all tiers. Patented deviation tracking and correlation enable Panorama to spot performance anomalies, pinpointing symptoms that might otherwise go undetected. Built on OPNET’s mature technology, support for the .NET framework covers extensive measurement collection, event and metrics correlation, dynamic threshold alarms and identification of application errors.

OPNET President & CTO, Alain Cohen, stated, “Users recognize the value Panorama offers during application QA and in production, including more successful application roll-outs, and significantly faster resolution of performance problems. This latest release fully extends Panorama’s capabilities to .NET environments, complementing its industry-leading support for Java applications, thereby enabling users to effectively manage more application environments with a single solution.”

Pamela Tsui, Principal Systems Engineer at BAE Systems, stated, “Panorama has proven itself to be a valuable tool for J2EE application performance troubleshooting at BAE Systems. We previously used several software packages to identify patterns and problem areas, which can now be performed with OPNET’s integrated solution, Panorama 5.0. The level of detail shown by Panorama 5.0 has given us valuable insight into our J2EE and .NET applications, which enabled us to resolve significant performance bottlenecks.”
