SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 1999--Inverse Network Technology Inc. today announced and is shipping a new version of Inverse IP InSight, the company's leading service-level management system that measures the performance of IP network and application services from the perspective of an end user.

The latest IP InSight release focuses on improving the ability of customer care center and network operations personnel to quickly and efficiently solve end-user access problems and measure network performance.

"The success of IP InSight since it was announced earlier this year proves the value of measuring network and application performance form the perspective of the end user," said Michael Watters, president and CEO of Inverse, based here. "These improvements let the IP InSight service-level management system collect more relevant data and conduct more analysis before presenting the sought-after information to system users."

Customer care organizations will find the new IP InSight Dial Care application is more informative and proactive, furthering a help desk's primary goal -- to quickly and accurately address remote users' problems. Not only is more PC configuration information collected, such as IP services configuration and Microsoft Corp. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) client status, but Dial Care now also reveals the hardware and software change history that lead up to the current configuration.

Dial Care now also detects and automatically summarizes end-user behavior patterns as well as recent trends in the POP infrastructure. Behind the scenes, Dial Care examines a user's recent call history and displays the aggregated call failure rates (CFR) for each of the POPs the user has recently dialed, indicating also the major failure causes. The application also can suggest POPs in the same or neighboring area code whose CFR is acceptably low.

Network operations staff will benefit from the new IP InSight Client, which now includes the ability to automatically sense needed upgrades to the Client and step end users through them. The Client also has the ability to detect and automatically utilize HTTP proxies for supporting user communities in secure LAN environments.

The IP InSight back-end system includes improved alerting features, including the ability to generate alerts when key application services, such as DNS, HTTP and Ping, cross performance thresholds.

Alert notification also has been enhanced to include severity levels, and alert notifications can be sent on a user-defined basis. Further, alerts can now be sent via one or more notification mechanisms -- email, SNMP or custom command-line.

Version 4.2 of IP InSight is available immediately. Inverse customers license IP InSight software or have it maintained by Inverse as a turnkey service. A software license for an entry level IP InSight system of 1,000 clients costs $49,000. The same size deployment operated as a turnkey service by Inverse costs $22,700 a year.

IP InSight customers include AT&T Global Network Services, Cisco Systems Inc., EarthLink Network Inc., MindSpring Enterprises Inc. and Prodigy Internet.
