Alertsite Announces Singapore Monitoring Location

Fifth Monitoring Location Provides Internet Perspective in the Far East

Boca Raton, FL - (May 21, 2001) - AlertSite, the premiere Internet device monitoring service used to detect possible hackers, disruption of service and slow response time, today announced Singapore-based monitoring for its innovative service that monitors web sites around-the-clock. This station, available early June, will allow users to monitor directly from Southeast Asia and will provide AlertSite users with an additional geographic monitoring location. This complements existing stations in Boca Raton, Fla., Baltimore, Md., Freemont, Calif. and London, England.

"The Singapore station allows us to satisfy our growing customer base in the Far East and provides our customers with a view from additional global locations," said Ken Gross, co-founder and CEO of Boca Internet Technologies, the company that created AlertSite. "Diverse geographic monitoring provides our customers with an actual view of how Internet users see their E-commerce presence and provides a reliable method to monitor service provider Service Level Agreements (SLA's). It furthers our commitment to expand our global presence while continuing to provide a premium service at a reasonable cost."

IT Managers prefer a local view to ensure neighboring customers are enjoying a satisfactory web experience. Web sites seeking customers or associates in Asia will now gain a regional perspective of their site's performance. Therefore, this new monitoring station is beneficial for both Asian and non-Asian based organizations.

AlertSite customers can utilize the Singapore location as part the of the company's exclusive "MultiPOP" service. Before alerting users of a problem, the MultiPOP system verifies the error with one or more diverse geographic stations. This verification reduces the number of messages a company receives for isolated Internet outages, allowing the company to focus on problems directly related to the site.
