Netuitive Product Innovation Leads to Ninth US Patent

Leader in Self-Learning Performance Management Continues to Forge the Future of IT Operation Management

Reston, VA – December 10, 2007 – Netuitive, Inc., the leading provider of self-learning performance management software, today announced that it has been granted U.S. Patent No. 7,280,988 for its unique method of analyzing and predicting system performance using time series measurements. Today's announcement marks the company's ninth patent and reflects an ongoing commitment to providing customers with the most reliable indicators of impending service problems, based on Netuitive's ability to automatically capture and model normal system behavior.

"This ninth patent further distinguishes Netuitive's self-learning approach from any other performance management software in the industry," said Dr. Jean-Francois Huard, CTO at Netuitive. "While this technology is already built into the systems and business service management solutions we're delivering today, it also represents a precursor to Netuitive's vision for autonomic computing."

Netuitive's approach includes a baseline model that automatically captures and models normal system behavior, a correlation model that employs multivariate regression analysis to detect abnormal system behavior, and an alarm generation algorithm that weights, scores and combines variety of alerts to generate Trusted Alarm that recommends appropriate response actions. What is truly compelling about Netuitive's methodology is its ability to watch and account for expected seasonal events, such as holiday, payroll and quarterly demand on servers.

Netuitive is committed to leveraging its existing patents to improve the ROI that customers experience through maximizing their performance management environments. The company's patent portfolio includes:

Concurrent Learning and Performance Information Processing System
Multi-Kernel Neural Network Concurrent Learning, Monitoring, & Forecasting System
Automatic Data Extraction, Error Correction and Forecasting System
Enhanced Computer Performance Forecasting System
Automated Analyzers for Estimation Systems
Method and System for Analyzing and Predicting the Performance of Computer Network Using Time Series Measurements
Computer Performance Estimation System Configured to Take Expected Events into Consideration
