Singapore, March 19, 2001 - Biodata Information Technology, global leader in network and communications technology products, launches a new product line Biodata NetMonitor in Singapore. With its unique ability to monitor IT networks around the clock and provide instant alerts of any failures or errors through a comprehensive range of channels, Biodata NetMonitor protects companies against detrimental security breaches and costly financial losses.

When errors and system failures in IT infrastructure are not detected and resolved quickly enough, companies can suffer huge losses. With the understanding that every second is critical in such situations, Biodata specially designed the Biodata NetMonitor to monitor IT infrastructure around the clock, by continuously communicating with all of the critical systems including Internet access, e-mail, databases and firewalls. Whenever there is an error or failure in any of these systems, as a central electronic guardian, Biodata NetMonitor immediately alerts responsible network specialists throughout the company, providing them with detailed information about the source and the type of problem. The alerts can be sent through multiple alarm options including SMS, pager, e-mail, printer, fax, Internet or telephone.

Biodata NetMonitor is easy to install and configure since it is an integrated hardware and software solution. Pre-settings and a configuration assistant offer easy application. A standard browser that is protected by password makes possible worldwide and safe access to Biodata NetMonitor. These unique features make Biodata NetMonitor equally suited to serve the needs of highly decentralized companies and widely branched IT networks

Due to its outstanding capability, Biodata NetMonitor has already received an innovation award at the B2B-congress in Bonn, Germany. It won unanimous vote from the jury for being the best internet-economy-idea of the year 2000.

Current customers and partners of this operating segment of Biodata include Compaq, Sony, Bewag and Info AG. Companies interested to use Biodata NetMonitor can contact the local Biodata offices.
