ProactiveNet and Coradiant Partner to Provide Real-Time Web Application Performance Analytics

Partnership Combines Real-Time, Real-User Web Transaction Monitoring with End-to-End Infrastructure Performance Data Correlation and Analysis

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. and WALTHAM, MASS. – December 08, 2004 – ProactiveNet Inc., the technology leader in real-time application, SLA and infrastructure performance analytics, and Coradiant, a provider of real-time, real-user Web transaction monitoring solutions, today announced the formation of a technology partnership. The partnership lets customers integrate Web transaction performance data from Coradiant's TrueSight into ProactiveNet's patented correlation and root-cause analysis engine. The combined technology dramatically improves IT teams' ability to detect and resolve impending performance problems before they impact revenue-generating Web applications.

The ProactiveNet-Coradiant joint solution integrates seamlessly. ProactiveNet brings Coradiant's real-user performance data into the ProactiveNet console along with all collected performance data from the application infrastructure; and TrueSight watches ProactiveNet's performance analysis in the TrueSight system's Watchpoint summary. In both cases, IT organizations have the visibility they need to preemptively detect and resolve performance problems, and business unit owners can see how IT is affecting Web operations.

Coradiant's proprietary Watchpoint technology watches all Web traffic from real-users in real-time, so IT organizations can proactively measure the health, availability and performance of their Web operations. ProactiveNet's correlation and root-cause analysis engine examines this performance data and detects relationships between end-user service degradation and back-end components.

"For corporations generating revenue from online operations, our alliance with Coradiant is a powerful combination that optimizes the delivery of critical Web applications," said David Langlais, vice president of marketing at ProactiveNet. "Coradiant offers a proven Web monitoring technology that enhances both proactive problem resolution and root-cause analysis."

"Pairing TrueSight's ability to watch the processes that drive a business with ProactiveNet's root cause and correlation technology creates a revolutionary approach to Web application performance monitoring.," said Alistair Croll, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Coradiant. "As soon as the first user on a site has a problem, TrueSight sees it and ProactiveNet starts looking for the root cause. This means faster detection and better diagnosis."

About Coradiant
Coradiant's unique, user-centric approach to Web performance monitoring quickly delivers accurate management information in business-relevant formats. Coradiant's TrueSight is the first appliance that provides accurate, detailed information on the performance and integrity of Web business applications – in real-time, exactly as users experience them. TrueSight's revolutionary Watchpoint technology lets companies see all Web traffic and watch what matters to their business. As a result, they find and fix problems quickly, and eliminate the many hours traditionally required to discover problems and determine root cause. TrueSight's approach is especially important for complex, multi-tiered Web systems, making them difficult to monitor effectively with traditional infrastructure and synthetic testing. By contrast, TrueSight's real-user monitoring sees 100% of real user interactions and records forensic detail. Technical teams are armed with the facts they need to quickly determine where problems originate from and resolve issues that affect performance and availability before they become system-wide problems.

Coradiant's Watchpoint technology gives site operators and network managers a real-time understanding of the user's Web experience without the complexity, cost and risk of traditional performance management approaches. Founded in 1997 by a team of Internet and performance experts, Coradiant has consistently pioneered advanced technology and best practices for Web-based systems. Coradiant is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. For more information visit www.coradiant.com or call 1-877-731-7277.
