Odimo Optimizes Network With Network Associates Sniffer

Network Associates Inc, a leading provider of intrusion prevention solutions, announced that Odimo Inc, the parent company of Diamond.com and Ashford.com, two of the nation's largest online retailers of diamonds, jewelry, watches and other luxury goods, has deployed the Sniffer Technologies s6040 solution to ensure peak network performance and optimization at the core of the company's network. The Sniffer Technologies s6040 blade-based architecture is designed to provide acute visibility and rapid troubleshooting for today's high-speed, complex network architectures. This deployment reflects revenue that was recognized by Network Associates in the third quarter of 2003.

"Network Associates Sniffer Technologies provides us with unmatched security management and performance capabilities to ensure that we experience fault-free network operations. The unparalleled troubleshooting and diagnostic capabilities of the s6040 are the best that I've seen and we continue to be impressed with the superiority of this solution," said George Grous, chief technology officer at Odimo. "The deployment of the s6040 solution was by far one of the easiest technology implementations my team has done on our network and this solution is undeniably an asset to our company for troubleshooting any unforeseen network problems."

During the installation of Sniffer Technologies s6040 solution, Odimo network administrators were able to immediately reap the benefits of the technology's real-time Expert analysis capabilities by identifying and isolating an ongoing latency performance issue on one of their workstations. This enabled the company to instantly correct the issue and fortify their security measures. As a rapidly expanding online business, Odimo recognizes that seamless and uninterrupted network operations are essential to the vitality of their business, and the ability to identify and troubleshoot latency issues is critical to that success. In addition to resolving latency issues, the s6040 solution enables Odimo network technicians to monitor and detect foreign applications as well as, filter and examine data packets on their network.

"Sniffer Technologies is resolute in its mission to ensure that customers worldwide have superior technology solutions to ensure optimal business uptime and availability," said Christopher Thompson, vice president of product marketing for the Sniffer Technologies division at Network Associates. "Today's announcement underscores Network Associates ongoing commitment to optimize and protect the networks of customers across all industries, allowing them to thrive within their own competitive landscape."
