Toronto, Canada - October 04, 2006 - NetCraft Communications Inc. today announced the immediate availability of its Rees IT Support Ticketing system now fully integrated with Versiera Professional and Enterprise infrastructure monitoring and management systems. IT managers will now be able to use Versiera to provide a documentation work-flow as part of their infrastructure monitoring and management activities. From identifying issues with technology, to assigning the required remedial work by way of ticketing, to resolving and providing historical documentation of problems and the steps to resolution and verification the IT Support Ticketing system provides the documentation mechanism necessary for the successful management of technology.
Versiera enables a broad range of IT activities to be performed without the use of individual tools or separate systems connected by communication APIs. The underlying framework for Versiera is based on configuration management database (CMDB) platform which allows for information to be stored once and provide for the single source of truth describing technology. This foundation is used to not only provide information on what exists in the present, but also how it has changed over time, including hardware, software, configurations, security and resource utilization. Building on its key features Versiera in the fourth quarter of 2006 will be releasing an automated documentation library and application dependency mapping (ADM) features, currently in beta testing with customers. Additionally compliance functionality will be strengthened to allow specifying a baseline for system configurations on a granular level and track deviations to comply with enterprise and government requirements.
Enterprises are starting to take a hard look at Versiera when considering their choices for infrastructure monitoring and management tools. NetCraft Communications Inc. with its Versiera product has embarked to overthrow the market heavyweights the likes of HP Openview and IBM Tivoli.
Versiera was the first Internet hosted application service for infrastructure monitoring and management supporting a broad spectrum of operating systems and hardware platforms. The support includes Microsoft Windows, Sun Microsystems Solaris, Apple OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD.
Anyone can take advantage of Versiera, enterprise with thousands of systems, medium sized organization on a budget, consultants broadening their service, and educational institutions with distributed management organizations. There is even a completely free hosted version called Versiera Core that includes most of the key features including management and monitoring to give something back to the community.
Toronto, Canada - August 30, 2006 - NetCraft Communications Inc. today announces the availability of Dynamic DNS for its Versiera infrastructure monitoring and management systems; Core, Professional and Enterprise. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) enables automatic updates of DNS records by remote computers whenever their IP address changes and to populate or update the changes in DNS. The frequent updates of computer IP addresses are usually the result of Internet facing computers configured to receive their IP address from Cable/DSL Internet Service Providers (ISPs) using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Users of Versiera will have the ability to assign alias names (i.e. mycomputer.locate-ip.com) to Versiera registered hosts and place them into one of several available domain zone files. Versiera agents residing on remote computers will be responsible for maintaining updated DNS records whenever the computer’s IP address changes (more precisely the source Internet IP address seen by Versiera). Computers with a static Internet IP address that are not already referenced in any Internet DNS zone file can also benefit by using Versiera DDNS to allow for their referencing by an assigned alias name in Versiera management console.

The upgrade will further differentiate Versiera Professional and Enterprise from the free Versiera Core version. Versiera Professional and Enterprise can now be configured to actively test remote web servers to ensure specific URLs are reachable, DNS servers are able to resolve fully qualified domain names (FQDN), and mail servers are accepting mail for delivery.
