OPNET Introduces Breakthrough Pricing for OPNET LoadScaler

June 22, 2007; 09:30 AM
OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPNT), a leading provider of management software for networks and applications, recently announced breakthrough pricing for OPNET LoadScaler.

OPNET LoadScaler stress tests web applications to quantify scalability and identify performance "break points." OPNET is now offering an unlimited number of “virtual users” at no additional cost to enable pre-deployment testing with very large emulated workloads. This ensures that tests can accurately predict performance limits for critical web-based applications, and that the application software and supporting infrastructure can scale to meet service level objectives. Without sufficient virtual user loads, organizations lack the ability to identify capacity limits and performance bottlenecks which may be caused by misconfiguration, application architecture problems, or insufficient capacity.

OPNET Chairman & CEO, Marc Cohen, stated, "Traditionally, performance testing products have been high priced, in particular for supporting large scale application deployments. In keeping with OPNET’s commitment to full life cycle support for application performance management, we are moving to make pre-deployment stress testing more accessible for our users’ most critical web-based applications. We have introduced new pricing with no charge for virtual users, and consequently no premium for increasing scale. Users can test their applications and infrastructure with real world workloads – without the 'large scale' price tag.”

With a perpetual use license available for an introductory price of $20,000, including unlimited virtual user packs, OPNET LoadScaler empowers organizations to effectively stress test their applications prior to deployment to ensure scalability and performance, and anticipate infrastructure requirements.

In addition to OPNET LoadScaler, OPNET provides industry-leading analytics with its enterprise application performance management suite, including OPNET Panorama™, ACE™, and IT Guru® Systems Planner. These solutions enable rapid troubleshooting and optimization of end-to-end application performance.
