Business Description

We design, market, distribute and support products that allow enterprises and network service providers to measure the performance of their networks and identify and monitor software applications which operate on those networks. The primary objective of our solutions is to minimize network and application downtime by obtaining granular visibility into network performance at all sites. Our products are Visual UpTime®, Visual UpTime® Select™ and Visual IP Insight™. Our solutions correlate traditional network performance information with application data collected from various network locations to provide the network manager with the ability to understand the health and performance of the network and the applications traversing that network.

We market our products to enterprises, service providers and value-added resellers (“VARs”), which includes systems integrators. We sell our products through indirect sales channels, so enterprises acquire our products typically from either a service provider or a VAR. Our major service provider customers include, among others: AT&T, BellSouth, Earthlink, Equant, MCI, SBC, Sprint and Verizon.
