Online, March 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - SEATTLE, WA - ExtraHop Networks announced today that Network Products Guide, the industry's leading technology research and advisory guide, has named the ExtraHop application performance management solution a finalist for the 6th Annual 2011 Hot Companies and Best Products Awards in the Best Network Management / Intelligence Product category. These industry and peer awards from Network Products Guide are the world's premier information technology awards honoring achievements and recognitions in every facet of the IT industry. Winners will be honored in Las Vegas on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 during the 6th annual dinner and presentations.

The ExtraHop Application Delivery Assurance system is a real-time, passive network appliance that monitors and analyzes every business-critical transaction from L2 to L7 across network, web, database, and storage tiers, spanning physical and virtual environments. The massively scalable ExtraHop system combines the troubleshooting capabilities of Network Performance Managers with the superior application-level visibility of User Experience Monitors to perform sophisticated network-traffic analysis. While many tools rely on legacy technologies such as NetFlow collection, SNMP polling, custom performance agents, or active service checks, the ExtraHop system performs full-stream reassembly and full-content analysis to extract and archive valuable performance and health metrics in a real-time datastore.

An annual achievements and recognition awards program with active participation from a broad spectrum of industry voices, the annual Hot Companies and Best Products recognition program encompasses the world's best in organizational performance, products and services, executives and management teams, successful deployments, product management and engineering, support and customer satisfaction, and public relations in every area of information technology.

"It's an honor to be named a finalist by Network Products Guide for this esteemed industry and peer award," said Jesse Rothstein, CEO, ExtraHop Networks.
