PRESS RELEASE March 6, 2001

REACTIVE NETWORKING, INC. ANNOUNCES VERSION TWO OF ReactorLevel, THEIR NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES MEANINGFUL SERVER FARM LOAD BALANCING A REALITY.

Dallas Texas: Reactive Networking, Inc., (RNI) announces the release of ReactorLevel v2.0.

ReactorLevel Version 2, the newest release from Reactive Networking, Inc. has added new features that greatly enhance it's breakthrough patent pending "Service State Determination" enabling technology. In addition to the server monitoring and management features of ReactorLevel Version 1, new capabilities have been added that allow servers to use the load of upstream resources (database servers, TPM's etc) in their load calculation and failover determination. Support has also been added for two new load balancing systems: LightSpeed System's Traffic Control and Total Control software systems, and Coyote Point Systems, Inc.'s Equalizer appliance. The addition of these capabilities, on top of Version 1's support of Check Point Software Technology LTD.'s FireWall-1 and Provider-1 Connect Control load balancing feature, brings this sophisticated load balancing capability to a much larger customer base. An advanced "Server Weaning" feature has also been included that allows administrators to gradually wean a server from its farm for service and maintenance.

"Administrators no longer have to guess how their servers are performing, based on a few simple metrics like CPU utilization or page hits", said Mike Peter, VP of marketing for Reactive Networking. "Simply throwing new iron at a perceived bottleneck has always been the most expensive way to solve server caused slowdowns. With ReactorLevel v2, administrators will know exactly where the bottlenecks are, and exactly how to redistribute the load to regain real balance. Now, whether monitoring a single database server or firewall, or load balancing across hundreds of servers, one tool, ReactorLevel v2, can pull it all together." he added.

Kelly Garrett, RNI's VP of Product Strategy, recently stated "ReactorLevel v2 is the product that will bring performance metric calculations to the next level. This product will allow network servers to be tuned to a precision never before imaginable." He also noted that "Internet bandwidth to end users has increased so much recently, that the bottlenecks have moved from the client side to the server farm, causing IT administrators to clamor for more servers. If the use of ReactorLevel v2 delays or replaces the acquisition of just one server, it could push ReactorLevel's Return on Investment (ROI) down to days, or even to immediate!"

ReactorLevel v2.0 supports UNIX, Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers. Support for other platforms will be available in the very near future.
