SUNRISE, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- Trendium, Inc., the leading global provider of service assurance and performance management software, today announced the availability of InfraSight, an enterprise traffic performance management and IT infrastructure health service, and the first offering from the Trendium Service Bureau. Service Bureau, a subscription-based "software as a service" line of business, is Trendium's immediate response to the overwhelming market demand for highly network performance management capabilities integrated with security management functions, available at a fraction of current cost-of-ownership and delivery time constraints.



In today's hyper-competitive global marketplace, IT operational budgets and resources - while expected to grow in the coming year - are stretched thin by maintenance (Gartner estimates more than 60% of IT budgets are consumed by labor and maintenance). This burden, coupled with an ongoing stream of new security threats and the complexities associated with proactive response resolution, has created a demand for blended functionality between traffic performance management and security resources. There is a clear need for change in the current Enterprise IT business model - evident in several vertical markets, such as financial services, healthcare and transportation - to which Trendium has responded with the introduction of its Service Bureau.

"The launch of Trendium's Service Bureau represents the natural forward progression of our business and a new means with which to deliver our proven service intelligence expertise," said Hanafy Meleis, CEO, Trendium. "Since our inception, Fortune 500 companies worldwide have looked to Trendium to optimize and assure service objectives, monitor the user experience, and meet expectations. Implementing this new subscription-based business model enables us to offer specific functionality inherent in our existing solutions, in addition to advanced security information monitoring resources, packaged as an extremely cost-effective service. Today's global enterprise, with its over-extended IT capital - is forced to deal with paradigm-shifting forces such as HIPAA, GLBA and SOX compliance, as well as proactive identification of potential system threats. Liberating valuable resources to allow for re-alignment of IT with business strengths is what makes Trendium's Service Bureau right on time."

A significant trend in IT is the migration of the software business from packaged products, to a new, subscription-based service model. Research firm IDC notes that the management model of support provides an option for organizations looking for many of the traditional outsourcing's benefits -- such as labor and maintenance savings - but without the loss of control over core network functions. Also of note, is that according to new research from the analyst firm, worldwide security software support services spending will climb from $1.43 billion in 2005 to $2.13 billion in 2010. Trendium's Service Bureau will address this climate, in which spending indicates a growing confidence in managed services' security, reliability and effectiveness, in addition to the promise of accelerated deployment and potential cost savings.

As part of Trendium's Service Bureau, InfraSight is a state-of-the-art infrastructure health/performance management service that offers a blend of proven, real-time data collection and trend performance analysis, in addition to security insights, event monitoring and network traffic predictive alerts - solutions critical to maintaining a healthy enterprise. Included in InfraSight's powerful functionality, are:

Network and IT Infrastructure Health

InfraSight consolidates and organizes across every network domain, so customers are able to monitor all interfaces, flow-based conversations and bandwidth utilization.

Application Capacity Planning

Bandwidth capacity modeling is calculated per interface, or class-based QoS queue to enable accurate planning for external and inter-site bandwidth. Comparable modeling is performed at the server level as well.

Traffic Forensics

InfraSight performs traffic deviation monitoring to detect suspicious anomalies that lead to the manifestation of serious network threats. Also, InfraSight is able to inspect the IT infrastructure to find network degradation threats in advance of user awareness; this service reports on port scans and port sweeps, and when necessary, triggers alerts that proactively defend the network from potential threats.

To cost-effectively serve key domestic markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West Coast, Trendium has implemented a channel marketing and distribution strategy; a nationwide recruitment for individual partners who can serve as trusted reseller agents in the aforementioned areas is currently underway. Trendium will announce its Partner Channel Distribution strategy for Europe and the Middle East in the coming weeks.
