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."
