VANCOUVER, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - PEER 1 Network Enterprises, Inc.
(TSX:PIX), a leading online IT hosting provider, has launched SmartMonitoring,
a full suite of advanced monitoring solutions now available for its managed
hosting customers. Utilizing the platform of partner, Absolute Performance
Inc., SmartMonitoring provides in-depth data and analysis to better anticipate
IT needs for business success. This offering, which will be expanded to all
product lines later this year, represents strategic momentum in working
together with best-of-breed companies to provide PEER 1 customers a valuable
range of products and services.
"With the launch of SmartMonitoring, we are offering the best monitoring
services available, while continuing to provide the advanced hosting services
that are in greatest demand by our customers," said Tim Varma, director of
product management for PEER 1. "SmartMonitoring will help our customers
increase efficiency and maximize IT resources, which is especially vital in

1 adjusts to customers' needs and helps them be more cost effective, to keep
their businesses running smoothly."
With SmartMonitoring, PEER 1 customers can choose the services and features,
from basic to highly complex, that are most vital to their business success.
These services are available through SmartMonitoring's on-demand platform
interface, which provides anyone in the organization, from CEO to system
engineer, understandable, information on how application and system components
are working together. This real-time data gives insight into potential issues
so they can be proactively addressed in the most efficient and timely way.
"Absolute Performance is excited to be launching advanced, enterprise-class
monitoring services with PEER 1," said Absolute Performance vice president of
sales, Harold Montano. "This capability changes the landscape of application
performance monitoring available to customers at very affordable price points.
The scalability and flexibility of the System Shepherd(R) platform provides
customers with the access and visibility into their application performance,
infrastructure capacity, and key business metrics necessary to make key
business technology decisions."
The SmartMonitoring suite offers a range of service levels along with
additional features to choose from. The service levels are each comprised of a
combination of full OS monitoring, application/database instance monitoring,
URL monitoring, and TCP-port monitoring, tracking pre-determined and
customized metrics for a given instance determined by the user. These services
are completely automated and send instant alerts when a set threshold is
exceeded or an event is detected.
In addition to standard monitoring levels, SmartMonitoring offers a range of
customizable features including:

- WebWalk(TM): Provides the ability to experience the end-user
perspective from any online location, including speed of page access
or transaction time, and validating links or page and database
content, using synthetic transactions to measure application
performance.

- StressWalk(TM): This feature puts the system through its paces by
providing traffic stress exercises and predictions of how the web-
based services will perform. This simulation process delivers
excellent data and metrics to support important infrastructure
decisions.

Using the SmartMonitoring platform interface, these services and features can
be configured on-demand for individual servers. SmartMonitoring provides a
comprehensive library of metric "templates", providing full control over the
instrumentation and data collection of performance metrics. This allows users
to gain deep visibility into operating system and application variables and
proactively pinpoint issues and minimize downtime.
