OPNET Panorama(tm) 6.0 Release Extends OPNET's Application Performance
Management Capabilities

BETHESDA, Md., March 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and
applications, today announced OPNET Panorama Release 6.0, with new capabilities
for memory analysis and real-time memory leak troubleshooting. This latest
software update also introduces new support for virtualized server environments.

Panorama provides real-time performance analysis of Java and .NET applications
by monitoring system and application metrics within each server, across all
tiers. Patented deviation tracking and correlation enable Panorama to
automatically spot performance anomalies, dramatically accelerating
troubleshooting and also detecting problems early, before they reach a critical
state.

Memory leaks are common sources of performance problems in business
applications, and are typically very difficult to detect and diagnose. Panorama
6.0 addresses this common performance problem for Java and .NET applications by
detecting memory leaks in real-time. This new "always on" feature is delivered
as a standard product capability. Other vendor solutions commonly require add-on
modules that are run selectively in the event of a problem, and consequently are
less effective in proactively addressing memory leak problems.

Panorama 6.0 also introduces new support for VMWare virtualized server
environments, providing insight into physical resource consumption.

"OPNET Panorama 6.0 introduces important new capabilities that will deliver
significant benefits to users," stated Alain Cohen, OPNET President & CTO.
"Virtualization is a leading industry trend, and Panorama 6.0 delivers
capabilities that enable organizations to more effectively manage virtual server
environments. Further, this release introduces a significant leap forward in
memory leak analysis -- a particularly challenging application issue that
impacts many organizations. OPNET addresses the issue in a way that is
significantly more proactive and effective than other vendors' solutions. Our
memory leak analysis can be 'always on' in a production environment while
maintaining low overhead, and in addition provides significantly more detail
about the cause of the leak. This is another example of one of OPNET's key
advantages: bringing customers the root-cause information they need to actually
solve performance problems."
