SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2000

Coradiant Inc. announces the release of OutSmart(TM), the company's second generation suite of managed network services.

Coradiant is the first pure-play, zero-footprint Managed Service Provider (MSP) built from the ground up to be symbiotic with collocation owners, top-tier IP carriers, content delivery firms, storage network providers and e-businesses. The company's OutSmart suite of services combine best-of-breed infrastructure components with seasoned best practices in site management and internet integration to keep business-critical sites running securely and responsively. These services enable B2B exchanges, online ISVs, ASPs, i-Builders, and click-and-mortar companies to quickly establish a highly robust online Web presence without incurring the high cost of purchasing equipment and hiring scarce, expensive IT resources.

"For an e-business innovator to gain a true advantage over the competition, its web site needs to offer a high degree of performance, availability, security, and scalability," said Alistair Croll, chief executive officer of Coradiant. "Coradiant's existing customers rely on us to manage their collocated infrastructure and multi-tiered servers so they can focus on their core businesses rather than becoming Internet infrastructure experts."

Coradiant is a new breed of MSP whose services are designed to dovetail with solutions from storage area network, collocation, peering, and content delivery providers. In addition, Coradiant offers IT managers and site administrators access to the company's best-of-breed experts for every aspect of their online initiative. The company's OutSmart services are being rapidly deployed in many cities across North America and Europe, creating a ready-made platform for complex B2B sites with the broad distribution such sites require.

Customers subscribing to the OutSmart(TM) service can choose from different tiers of service in each of four main areas:

-- OutPerform(TM) performance services speed site performance through a mix of
content acceleration, traffic shaping, and server performance management
technologies. Outperform services track usage and provide burstable capacity
across the entire service infrastructure.

-- OutStand(TM) availability services keeps online services running.
Coradiant's multi-layered approach to high availability and deeply redundant
network architectures are an essential part of business-critical online
solutions, allowing ASPs and site operators to offer service level agreements
to their customers.

-- OutProtect(TM) security services keep private interactions private. A deep,
multi-tiered approach to security backed by sound operating practices keeps
hackers and attackers at bay while ensuring smooth, transparent access for
legitimate users.

-- OutGrow(TM) scalability services provide the ability to scale site access on
demand, creating multi-site, multi-carrier, and even multi-continent services.

Coradiant's comprehensive monitoring and reporting service, OutSight(TM), is also included with all OutSmart services. With OutSight, customers get deep visibility into the health of their sites, through powerful, easy-to-understand diagnostics and graphs.

Pricing and Availability

The new OutSmart service suite is available immediately and is billed on a monthly basis according to the nature and level of services selected.
