AlertSite Introduces Next-Generation InSite Web Performance Monitoring Solution
Portable, Energy Efficient Micro-Appliance Deploys in Minutes, and Tells IT Leaders Everything They Need to Know About Web Performance Inside the Firewall and Beyond COCONUT CREEK, Fla.--(Business Wire)-- Web performance monitoring just got easier and more economical for businesses and IT professionals everywhere. Today AlertSite introduced its next-generation InSite by AlertSite monitoring solution, a portable micro-appliance that contains everything you need to monitor and measure Web performance. The new device`s small size and light weight make it easy to deploy in any location. And its plug-and-go setup gives businesses a fast, complete view of Web site performance and availability wherever they need it-whether that`s the data center, a client`s site, a co-location, or elsewhere. "IT and the business processes are increasingly getting intertwined," says Milind Govekar, Research Vice President for Gartner. "Bad performance and poor availability of IT applications have real business impact on companies` revenue, reputation, partnerships and their ability to do business. Many companies that have experienced application downtime due to poor performance or availability have lost a significant amount of money and customers. Furthermore, companies are also experiencing an increased cost of downtime. Thus, application transaction monitoring tools are needed to monitor and assure application availability and performance to the end user, thereby ensuring uninterrupted business operation and lower cost of downtime." InSite`s new micro-appliance comes preloaded and preconfigured with AlertSite`s Web Site Performance Monitor, Business Transaction Monitor with DéjàClick, E-mail Monitor, and Server Availability Monitor. Just unbox InSite and plug it in to set up monitor locations and see availability, load times, and response times of Web-based applications. By alerting IT when applications are unavailable or running slowly, InSite enables companies to "tune up" their online environment. "InSite is now one of the smallest, most flexible monitoring solutions of its kind," says Ken Gross, President and CEO of AlertSite. "We cut the size, weight, and energy consumption, but we didn`t cut the features. It`s still fast and easy to use, with our complete Web performance monitoring suite ready to deploy, and now, it`s portable, too. There`s never been an easier way to compare internal and external network metrics, diagnose performance issues by location, and ensure maximum awareness of Web application availability." The InSite micro-appliance is 75 percent smaller than the original appliance, with a 10-inch by 8-inch by 2-inch footprint. Its 4-pound weight is 75 percent less than the original unit. It also requires 90 percent less energy to operate, consuming only 60W. The new micro-appliance supports up to 50 monitors. AlertSite will continue to offer the original InSite appliance, which supports up to 100 monitors. InSite`s micro-appliance features the Intel Atom Processor inside, Intel`s newest and smallest processor. It is the most energy efficient Intel CPU available, yet provides all the computing power and performance required for full Internet micro-appliance capabilities. The next generation InSite by AlertSite is available now. For more information, please visit www.AlertSite.com.
