Netuitive Extends Technology Lead With Eighth Patent

BSM Solution is First to Account for “Seasonal” Performance Patterns

Reston, VA – September 26, 2006 – Netuitive, Inc., the leader in real-time analysis software for business service management (BSM), today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has issued the company U.S. Patent No. 7,099,799 for its seasonality technology, a key component of Netuitive's real-time analysis software. The patent protects the technology's ability to account for "seasonal" patterns that are incorporated into the performance model of any service or system. With today's announcement, Netuitive has secured eight patents from the PTO, further validating the power and uniqueness of its real-time analysis software.

Netuitive software automates the deployment and administration of business service management by self-learning the performance patterns of an organization's IT systems and services using statistical algorithms. Netuitive's new "seasonal" technology enables the software to model recurring or special events such as bi-weekly payroll, end of quarter activity, holidays or even back-to-school sales when analyzing behavior patterns of IT systems. Without this technology, seasonal anomalies typically flood an organization's Network Operational Center (NOC) or Help Desk with false-positive alerts, wasting vast amounts of resources and time.

“This patent represents yet another Netuitive differentiation over the crowd of BSM vendors, who require their customers to spend hundreds of man-hours configuring and maintaining their products,” said Daniel Heimlich, vice president of marketing at Netuitive. “Netuitive remains the only software that applies advanced mathematics and multi-variable statistical analysis to self-learn performance behavior patterns that automate BSM.”

Resulting from more than 15 years of academic and commercial research, Netuitive's Real-Time Analysis Engine provides the underlying technology for Netuitive's popular Netuitive SI and Service Analyzer products. Completely self-learning, self-configuring, and continuously adaptive, this unique technology performs sophisticated statistical trends analysis and multi-variable correlation to automatically determine normal system behavior, measure and predict deviations from the norm, and interpret symptoms for proper alerting and diagnosis. When the software detects or forecasts behavior outside that range, Trusted Alarms® are issued-the industry's most accurate and reliable indicators of impending performance problems.

With more than 150 customers, Netuitive's real-time analysis software gives companies the ability to automatically track, correlate and understand any business and systems data, enabling organizations to see in real-time how infrastructure performance issues affect overall IT service health and make critical business decisions accordingly.
