Rockville, Md. (May 10, 2005) – Visual Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNWK), a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions, today announced that longtime customer Alliant TechSystems (NYSE: ATK) is utilizing the newest modules of its flagship offering Visual UpTime® Select™ to manage application performance. A modular solution, Visual UpTime Select provides in-depth, real-time and historical information that enables enterprises to intelligently manage network availability across the entire enterprise. Headquartered in Minneapolis, ATK is a $2.4 billion advanced weapon and space systems company employing approximately 14,000 people in 23 states.
To enhance its intelligence about the applications on its network, ATK has licensed software modules Select AppFlows™ and Select AppSummary™. Utilizing these offerings, ATK can identify applications that are being used across the network and obtain end-to-end performance data for these applications.
“We are very satisfied with Visual Networks’ core functionality, which we have deployed at 50 sites in our network,” said Fazil Riaz, principal information technology engineer at ATK. “Using Select AppFlows and Select AppSummary in conjunction with Visual Networks’ traditional network performance management technology allows companies like ATK to gain granular insight into application performance across the enterprise.

Armed with this intelligence, they are in a better position to help other IT staffers identify the true cause of performance issues, which have historically been labeled network issues.”
