"Coradiant's technology advantage, strong customer traction, and solid leadership position have enabled the company to capture a commanding share of what we believe is a very significant market opportunity," said Eric Gonzales, DCM general partner and a Coradiant board member. "The company's TrueSight products help organizations give their customers the best possible web-based experience by providing the most important, continuous indicator of ongoing performance and usability. I am also very pleased about the recent addition of chief executive officer Brett Helm to the Coradiant team. Brett has a proven track record of creating and driving new product categories and will help the company achieve even greater market success."

"Coradiant is a strong addition to our portfolio," said Rick Fink, partner, Miramar Venture Partners. "The company is targeting an important, growing market segment with a critical need for what it offers. As more and more companies use the Internet for business, they are becoming increasingly dependent on being able to continuously monitor and troubleshoot web site performance and usability. Coradiant is the leading company serving this new market, and its session-level networking technology offers unique benefits. Coradiant has already made impressive progress, and we look forward to helping facilitate their continued success."

Previous user monitoring approaches relied on synthetic sampling which did not provide a complete picture of web site performance. In contrast, Coradiant's technology enables a new category of easy-to-install data monitoring equipment that is capable of seeing and reporting actual performance as experienced by every user, in each session, in real time. Easy to integrate with enterprise management software (EMS) systems, the equipment features no-risk, drop-in installation, and produces results in less than an hour. Drill-down incident management and analysis can be used to uncover, diagnose and repair even transient, hard-to-find issues in minutes rather than days or weeks.

"I am pleased that Coradiant has received this commitment from both existing and new investment partners," said Brett Helm, Coradiant chief executive officer. "Coradiant's TrueSight products are making tremendous differences in how customers like ADP (1) (Automatic Data Processing) Synonymous with data processing (DP), electronic data processing (EDP) and information processing.

(2) (Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Roseland, NJ, www.adp.
, Hire.com and BrassRing compete in their markets, while proving how important this new product category is for organizations that do business on the Web. Our new funding will enable us to expand our sales and marketing efforts and use our session-based networking technology to explore new product opportunities."

Founded in 1997, Coradiant initially was a managed service provider that worked on production-grade web applications in some of the world's most demanding network environments. This expertise gave Coradiant unique insight into Web application performance monitoring requirements and led the company to design and develop the world's first technology for transparently monitoring, collecting and classifying real-user web sessions, in real time.
