Catchpoint Builds Foundation for Growth in the Web Performance Monitoring SpaceNEW YORK, Sept 28, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Catchpoint Systems, Inc. (Catchpoint), the newest provider in the web performance monitoring industry, credits their solid industry experience, strong client roster and new additions to their Board of Advisors for their tremendous success out of the gate. "Slow web performance is the new downtime - it's the silent killer to an online brand," said Mehdi Daoudi, Catchpoint's CEO and Co-Founder. "We are solving market needs in new, effective and cost efficient ways, and have designed our product suite to avoid the typical pitfalls of traditional monitoring tools." Founded in 2008, by four former DoubleClick executives, Catchpoint provides superior web and application analysis tools that allow customers to analyze their site's performance by digging deeper into the issues that impact end-user experience and online business success. Having spent millions of dollars per year on the very same providers they compete with today, the company's founding team has leveraged its experience from Google to build a highly scalable infrastructure that is affordable and constantly evolving to meet their customers' needs. Catchpoint's tools are not only cost-effective, they're also comprehensive; providing customers the ability to marry external monitoring data - what the user sees - with internal system data - what happens behind the scenes. Speaking of his experience with Catchpoint, Tom Daly, CTO of Dyn Inc., said, "As a leader in DNS management, we help ensure availability, decrease latency and improve performance for thousands of the most popular websites and millions of end-users. With Catchpoint, we are able to monitor our DNS servers 24/7 to ensure speed and reliability for our customers and their customers. Catchpoint enables us to deliver upon our mantra - Uptime is the Bottom Line." Many new customers and partners, like 24/7 Real Media, Edgecast Networks, Dyn Inc., Freewheel, and others, support Catchpoint's aim to offer innovative technology and a fresh approach to customer engagement. "Catchpoint gives us excellent end-to-end visibility into our performance, all the way to the physical servers," said James Segil, President & Co-Founder of content delivery provider, Edgecast. "The time we save is considerable, and lets us focus on customers rather than on network forensics." Furthermore, Catchpoint is backed by an Advisory Board comprised of industry-leaders. "We are very lucky to have a strong board of advisors that not only includes people we have worked with in the past - David Rosenblatt former CEO of DoubleClick, Gregory Tagaris former CIO of DoubleClick and Ilona Nemeth Quasha former GM of DoubleClick - but also some fresh faces," added Daoudi. "Our newest board member, Kyle York, VP, Sales & Marketing at Dyn Inc. is doing outstanding work for Dyn and has already been a great consultant for our marketing strategy and brand positioning." With 29 monitoring locations today, and more international expansion plans for tomorrow, Catchpoint is putting the full-court press on industry competitors.
