Netuitive Announces Netuitive Analytics Software Provides Early Warning of Performance Problems

Most Likely to Impact Critical Business Applications

Reston, VA – November 12, 2002 – Netuitive®, Inc., a service management software company that offers the industry's most accurate and reliable indicator of impending performance failures – Trusted Alarms™, today announced its new performance management solution, Netuitive Analytics. Netuitive Analytics sustains performance for enterprises and service providers who want to proactively manage key business applications with the goal of avoiding disruptive failures that could impact revenues and profits.

"A single component, like a database server, could have upwards of 30 variables potentially operating outside a tolerable range. And there could be hundreds of many different kinds of servers in the infrastructure," explained Janine Moore, Netuitive Director of Product Management. "It is humanly impossible to give every component of a constantly changing application landscape equal attention. Without a technology solution to automatically emphasize severe and significant alarms, performance problems erode until there is a failure. We preempt these failures with Netuitive Analytics Trusted Alarms."

Besides managing the size and complexity of the application infrastructure, Netuitive Analytics solves two big problems that impact the productivity and efficiency of performance managers:

Missing a subtle alarm signaling an unobtrusive problem that degrades into a serious and disruptive failure;
Being distracted by overwhelming numbers of false alarms that often eat up time and resources investigating on alarms that prove to be benign

Nicola Sanna, CEO of Netuitive is excited about his company's ability to make an impact in this market. "We are changing the way performance is managed. Today, performance related failures are addressed after they have impacted availability of major applications. This means constant peaks and valleys of performance. We enable predictable, sustained performance - an application landscape with fewer failures."

Larry Jenkins, technical lead for Southern Company, a large southeastern utility and customer using Netuitive Analytics reports their experience with Trusted Alarms: "We have aggressive service levels to maintain our high customer service expectations. We found that Trusted Alarms notified our team very early that a serious problem was developing. Netuitive Analytics provided us with the information we needed to see what was driving the condition of the affected server. This allowed us to intervene with the right action that resulted in our ability to avoid a major outage."

Netuitive Analytics generates Trusted Alarms using state of the art statistical analysis, correlation and predictive technologies. David Helsper, vice president of engineering, explains: "The ability to automatically define and adjust thresholds is possible because we apply patented mathematical algorithms to a complex problem. We accommodate changes in clock, calendar and workload; correlate multiple sources of data and then, using predictive technologies, we project behavior anomalies. These are automatically highlighted for immediate investigation and intervention to quickly correct problems."

Netuitive Analytics is complementary to a broad spectrum of performance monitoring solutions, and includes Configuration Wizards, rapid implementation scripts, for easy integration. Netuitive Analytics unleashes the potential of performance monitors like Net IQ AppManager and BMC PATROL.

Pricing and Availability
Netuitive Analytics is generally available and runs on Windows NT. The solution is priced to reflect the size and complexity of the managed infrastructure and begins at $50,000 with minimal time and resources required before results.

About Trusted Alarms™
Regarded as a technology leader, Netuitive first developed an efficient alternative to labor intensive setting and tuning of performance thresholds for detecting performance alarms. Today, Netuitive has combined the efficiency of automated dynamic thresholds with the ability to generate Netuitive Trusted Alarms™ – the industry's most accurate and reliable indicators of impending performance problems. Netuitive Trusted Alarms expand the avoidance window, increasing the time from detection to correction of performance problems, often before they impact key business processes.
