FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALERTSITE ADDS CHICAGO WEB SITE MONITORING LOCATION
Boca Raton, FL - (October
28, 2002) - AlertSite,
a market leading Internet application performance
monitoring service, today announced the expansion
of its geographic monitoring locations to include
Chicago. Used to provide real-time monitoring
of web presences, AlertSite provides a global
perspective of end-user quality of experience
from eight worldwide locations, simulating what
and end user would experience. The new location
complements AlertSite's existing monitoring
stations in Florida, Maryland, California, the
United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Australia.
"The growing needs of
our customers in the financial and other large
industries in the Midwest prompted AlertSite's
move into these significant and vital commerce
areas," said Ken Gross, co-founder and
CEO of AlertSite. "Chicago is a major Internet
connection point (Network Access Point, or NAP)
that manages Internet traffic by tying together
all Internet Service Providers. Monitoring from
this geographical location provides considerable
feedback to a large user base of web customers.
Because Chicago is one of the largest metropolitan
areas in the United States, this location provides
an important point of view to our customers."
Customers can now use
the Chicago location as part of the company's
exclusive "MultiPOP" technology service.
Before alerting users of a problem, the MultiPOP
system verifies the error with up to eight diverse
geographic stations. This verification reduces
the number of messages a company receives for
isolated Internet outages, allowing the company
to focus on problems directly related to its
web site.
Monthly service runs $24.95
- $250.00 based on monitoring intervals and
features. Additional services and features available.
A free trial period is offered to new subscribers.
