World Leader in Distributed Traffic Capture and Network Taps Selected for Innovative Technology in Network Monitoring, Opportunity for Solution Providers

BURLINGAME, Calif.--June 23, 2009--VSS Monitoring, Inc. today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor. CRN's Emerging Technology Vendor list recognizes companies that undercut industry giants by delivering innovative technology and high margins for solution providers.

Visibility is critical to managing large-scale distributed networks. Up to now total visibility has been infeasible due to the cost of deploying analytical devices throughout a network. VSS Monitoring's Distributed Traffic Capture Systems represent a new approach to network monitoring which delivers complete, selectable and centralized visibility.

"Distributed traffic capture reduces monitoring deployment costs and achieves a dramatically high ROI on existing monitoring infrastructure," said Terence Breslin, VSS Monitoring's CEO. "CRN has spotlighted the opportunity distributed traffic capture gives solution providers by selecting us as an Emerging Technology Vendor."

"Our Emerging Tech list is where solution providers go to find vendors creating new and innovative ideas to help build revenue and customer loyalty," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. "We congratulate all of the vendors for their innovation and creativity and their commitment to the technology sales channel."

The vendors named to CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2001 or later, have revenue of less than $1 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy. Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of submitted information.

(www.vssmonitoring.com) is the world leader in network traffic capture, allowing IT professionals to see into the farthest reaches of even the largest networks, preventing problems from reaching end users, and greatly reducing the time to achieve a return on investment for network monitoring and security tools.
