Xangati Launches Falcon 3.1 -- A Real-time, Flow-based Network Intelligence Solution that Pinpoints Abnormalities in an Enterprise Context

Network intelligence solution, Falcon, uses flow based information to instantly pinpoint user and service abnormalities throughout the entire enterprise.

Palo Alto, CA, November 30, 2006 --(PR.com)-- http://www.xangati.com - Xangati, an enterprise-level network intelligence company, today released 3.0 of its flagship product, Falcon, to enable IT personnel to pinpoint user and service abnormalities throughout their entire network.

Falcon aggregates and analyzes all available network flows to dynamically discover users and services and establish ongoing activity baselines. Falcon offers, in real time, rich visualization of network traffic and building off these baseline calibrations precise identification of user and service abnormalities all in an organizational context and at true enterprise scale. IT personnel are instantly alerted of these abnormalities, can review them via instant replays and analyze and investigate them with powerful graphing and reporting capabilities.

"In today's network-enabled IT, the network is increasingly becoming the company. In the right context, network flow abnormalities are quick and precise alerts to server, application and business process problems, not just network problems, and enable IT personnel to quickly understand, in actionable terms, root causes of user and service problems for their entire enterprise," said Peter Christy, principal, Internet Research Group.

"Enterprise applications are increasingly becoming network based and services are being accessed by thousands of users across the enterprise," said Jagan Jagannathan, Ph.D., Founder and CTO of Xangati. "For IT personnel, it is very difficult to clearly and quickly understand in actionable terms, the root origin and root cause of user and service problems. With Falcon, not only can IT personnel effectively monitor each user and service across the enterprise, they also can instantly deal with abnormalities across the entire enterprise."

Falcon provides the following features:
•    Auto-discovery of active users and services across the enterprise
•    Automatic, dynamic baselining for each user and service
•    Real-time detection of both hyperactive and hypoactive abnormalities in user and service network behavior
•    Instant alerting of abnormalities in actionable terms in an organizational context
•    Comprehensive graphs and reports on a per-user and per-service basis
•    Scalable to 100,000 users and services in a single-box solution
•    Non-intrusive deployment that is not inline and does not require the installation of agents

"Being able to effectively monitor and manage our network activity is invaluable," said John Sykes, Director, IT for Kaleidescape, Inc. "With Falcon, we can instantly see any user or service deviating from their normal network activity and act upon these abnormalities, before they become problems."

"Since Falcon ties flow information to our DNS records," said Ransel Yoho, Network Security Engineer at Kent State University, "we can gauge which of our 8,000 active clients are consuming bandwidth through mail usage, gaming, web services and more."

Xangati is now providing online demonstrations of the Falcon network intelligence tool. Register for an online demo and listen to a podcast about Falcon at www.xangati.com/lp/falcon.html
