TESTIMONIALS

“OPNET nCompass uniquely over-lays network utilization, events, and

alarm status on real-time opera-tional dashboards. It provides us

with an invaluable tool for quickly assessing the impact of perfor-

mance problems, and for speeding

their resolution.”

Network Engineer, US Network ServiceProvider

“OPNET was selected to add value by allowing us to optimize network performance, including right-sizing links, minimizing mistakes in router configurations and even pointing out inefficient configurations. We have already experienced the benefit of using OPNET software through the

reduced number of customer trouble

tickets. “

“OPNET NetMapper is the only solution that could address all our requirements. It automatically dis-

covers and collects detailed network con-figuration data to generate nightly diagrams and inventory

reports. In addition, it gives us views we didn’t have before, such as

combined layer 2 and layer 3 con-nectivity, as well as detailed routing

and VLAN diagrams.”

Chief Architect, Data Center European Service Provider

“Based on the customized audit reports in OPNET Sentinel, we were

able to enforce a global standard across the entire organization. The entire process is now automated, not only leading to significant cost savings, but also detecting policy

violations much faster, before they affect service availability. As a

result, we have been able to reduce network outages by as much as

30%.”

Network Architect Global News Organization

“With OPNET NetMapper, we are able to create a separate diagram

for all 1,500 sites with a total of 2,900 devices across the entire

state. We can refresh these sites weekly and use the diagrams for

troubleshooting problems at remote offices without even leaving our

desk.”
