AppResponse Xpert

OPNET’s AppResponse Xpert is an appliance-based solution that monitors and analyzes end-user experience, and supports in-depth analysis of the behavior and performance of the underlying network infrastructure. AppResponse Xpert leverages the central role of the network in transporting transaction data to gather performance information.

It provides complete visibility of transactions and users across the enterprise, with detailed real-time and historical information about end-user response times, utilization, route quality, ISP performance, and traffic patterns. On-board analytics extract user-level transactions from network traffic, and break down application response time, identifying which parts of the infrastructure are contributing most to delays. Data is automatically summarized according to applications and user-defined business entities. Response Xpert is offered in a variety of models, including a range of hardware appliances, software appliances running within VMware virtualized servers, and an embedded version for Riverbed Steelhead devices.

Key Features:

  • 24x7 appliance-based application performance monitoring with historical trending
  • Automatic application discovery and classification by user-defined application and business groups
  • Unique point-and-click guided work flows for numerous common management tasks such as diagnosing and troubleshooting application performance issues
  • Advanced live and historical analysis accurately determines components of delay, top-talkers, trends, and reports on abnormal behaviors
  • Executive-level business reporting and web-based dashboards to monitor SLAs and application performance
  • Rapid, non-intrusive installation via a SPAN or mirror port or tap - often in less than an hour
  • High speed packet captures and long term storage for rapid root-cause analysis of application problems
  • Real-time VoIP performance management for voice and data converged networks
  • NetFlow data collection to extend visibility into network capacity

The unique real-time log monitoring component can normalize any OS or application – specific delimited log file type (e.g. IIS, DHCP, Firewall) for advanced searching and reporting.

EventSentry also helps companies meet the requirements of SOX, HIPAA, PCI and other regulatory requirements. With EventSentry you can consolidate events to a central database and create a variety of reports with the web-based reporting component. Unlike agentless solutions, EventSentry uses reliable agents which monitor your machines in real-time without any impact on performance or the network. Agents also ensure that your systems are monitored in real-time regardless of network connectivity.

Additionally, EventSentry also monitors services, disk space, performance, software/hardware, NTP and file checksums. EventSentry's compliance tracking feature normalizes Windows security events and provides insightful tracking information about Active Directory, application usage and logon activity. Network devices can be monitored through Syslog, SNMP and heartbeat checks. Environment sensors are also available and support monitoring temperature, humidity, water, smoke and motion.

OpManager

OpManager is a comprehensive, affordable solution for monitoring the performance of a network. With growing network complexities, the system administrators are more than challenged when it comes to assuring a healthy network. OpManager ensures the availability of a network and its resources and reports when the going is tough.

Proactive Monitoring

OpManager provides out-of-the-box support for monitoring critical resources on servers, routers, switches, firewalls, domain controllers et all.. Besides the device availability, the other resources monitored include host resources like cpu, disk, and memory utilization, traffic utilization, availability of critical services, important windows event logs etc.

Performance data is collected for all the resources periodically to determine their availability and that of the network health as a whole. Pro-active monitoring by way of configuring meaningful thresholds, helps avoid 'unpleasant surprises'.

Monitoring performance is done using standard protocols like SNMP, CLI, and WMI. So, it is not mandatory for your servers to be SNMP-enabled for performance monitoring. OpManager can monitor the linux and solaris environments using CLI and windows environment using WMI in the absence of SNMP.

Custom Monitoring Capability

Besides the resources monitored out-of-the-box, you can configure custom monitors for the SNMP variables. This facilitates monitoring of performance for almost any device that is pingable and has SNMP enabled!

Scheduled Reporting

Periodic reporting of the network health is an added advantange. OpManager allows you to schedule reports periodically at the chosen day and time. The reports are automatically emailed to the pre-configured email Ids or published to a URL.

With OpManager to monitor the network round the clock, you can sit back and relax, and feel assured that you will be the first one to know of an imminent fault.
