FREMONT, Calif. (EMWNews) July 29, 2008 —

ClearSight Networks, a worldwide provider of award-winning application

and analysis tools for today’s dynamic

networks, today announced that it has significantly expanded the

capabilities of its market-leading network capture appliance, the

Network Time Machine (NTM), with the introduction of version 6.5.

Leveraging ClearSight’s expertise and

experience in protocol analysis and data collection technologies, the

company has developed Atlas, a time-based, historical analysis tool to

capture, index, and archive all network traffic, and store it in a large

RAID-based storage system. In addition, ClearSight announced the

availability of NTM Distributed with multi-user capabilities, allowing

for up to four simultaneous users to access a single NTM probe.

With Atlas, the enhanced NTM platform now has the ability to analyze and

categorize all Ethernet network traffic, and provides for a quick and

easy way to retrieve key statistics and information from this data. In

addition, unlike some competitive offerings, the NTM uses enterprise

class SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drive technologies on the backend, as

well as a RAID storage controller on the front end, providing

unparalleled levels of performance and data protection. The Premium2,

ClearSight’s highest performing NTM, is

equipped with two quad Core CPUs — or eight processors — and over 4

terabytes of storage. There are also 13 and 44 terabyte versions.

“The NTM dramatically simplifies the approach

to network troubleshooting,” said Sam Li, CEO

and cofounder, ClearSight Networks. “With

advanced functionality and features, including the ability to monitor

network data in real time while continuously capturing every single

packet, our new NTM delivers industry-leading expertise to

troubleshooting network environments, accelerating time to root-cause

identification and problem resolution. With NTM, users can ensure the

health and reliability of their networks by pinpointing problems and

bottlenecks that competing solutions can not even see.”

With the bandwidth requirements of network users growing at

unprecedented rates, the use of long term network capture appliances in

conjunction with more traditional troubleshooting and monitoring tools

is quickly becoming an IT best practice. The NTM has integrated the

ClearSight Analyzer product with the capture appliance, providing

network engineers and administrators with data mining and protocol

analysis capabilities in a single best-of-breed tool.

“NTT Marketing Act is an operating arm of

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, the largest carrier in Japan, and we

have been using the ClearSight NTM product for nearly two years,”

said Hidezou Shinbo, Section Manager, NTT Marketing Act. “Before

we deployed the NTMs to our sites in Tokyo and Osaka, we found it

difficult to pinpoint the cause of network issues, particularly those

experienced by our teleconference service customers. The ClearSight NTM,

however, enables us to determine the source of these problems, whether

it is on the user, system, or network side. This capability has enabled

NTT to exceed the service level agreements that we have set with our

customers.”

NTM 6.5 and the Atlas option are currently shipping. Pricing for the NTM

begins at $33,700 and $5,000 for the Atlas module. For additional
