Fluke Networks Announces Integration With OPNET Technologies, Answering Customer Needs for Integration.WASHINGTON -- Combined Expertise of Network Analysis Leaders Brings Customers Powerful Tools for Application Troubleshooting, and Network Capacity and Performance Planning Fluke fluke, parasitic flatworm of the trematoda class, related to the tapeworm. Instead of the cilia, external sense organs, and epidermis of the free-living flatworms, adult flukes have sucking disks with which they cling to their hosts and an external cuticle that Networks, a leader in network testing, monitoring and analysis, announced today at OPNETWORK 2004 two new integrations with OPNET OPNET Operations Network OPNET Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team OPNET Operational New Equipment Training OPNET Optimized Network Evaluation Tool OPNET SMDPS Phase III Operational Network Technologies (Nasdaq:OPNT), solutions that represent powerful new solutions for managing enterprise networks. The new integrations bring Fluke Networks customers a completely new set of capabilities in application troubleshooting and predictive planning of their `end-to-end' enterprise network. The first integration point adds capabilities to troubleshoot and diagnose application performance problems through the export of packet trace data from Fluke Networks' full line-rate packet capture OptiView(TM) WAN and LAN Analyzers See network analyzer. into OPNET's Application Characterization Environment (ACE). Specific to WAN environments, the integration includes a new utility that automatically accounts for different WAN encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming. (2) The transmission of one network protocol within another. schemes, ensuring accurate packet trace export to ACE. Packet capture data from Fluke Networks' LAN Analyzers can also be exported to ACE by utilizing Fluke Networks' Protocol Expert. The second integration point allows customers to conduct powerful predictive analyses through the export of flow data from Fluke Networks' OptiView(TM) Console into OPNET's IT Guru(TM) for capacity planning Determining the required future configuration of hardware and software for a network, datacenter or Web site. There are numerous capacity planning tools on the market used to monitor and analyze the performance of the current hardware and software. . When combined with network configuration data stored in IT Guru, users can identify bottlenecks in the infrastructure during the planning process, and also expose areas of the network that are vulnerable to failures. IT Guru can use flow data provided by OptiView Console from the OptiView OC3/OC12 WAN Analyzer See network analyzer. . With the combined integration of trace and flow data, customers can now validate an application deployment in the safe haven 1.
