NetBotz Announces Availability of Advanced Device Crawlers for the NetBotz 500 Physical Security Monitoring Appliance
Technology Monitors Internal Physical Status of Customers' Network Devices

AUSTIN, Texas - November 04, 2003 - NetBotz®, Inc.,the global leader in IP-based intelligent physical security, announced immediate availability of its patent-pending Advanced Device Crawlers software for the NetBotz 500 Physical Security Monitoring Appliance. This innovative software extends the monitoring capabilities of the NetBotz 500 from the external environment down into the "internal vitals" of network devices such as routers, hubs and back up power supplies. The NetBotz 500 is the market's defining IP-based platform for securing people, places and assets against physical threats such as intrusion, sabotage and hostile environmental factors.

Advanced Device Crawlers supports network devices from the industry's leading vendors, including Cisco, IBM, Dell, Compaq (HP), Juniper Networks, Avaya, Alcatel, Best Power, Liebert and APC.

This is the first monitoring technology to give IT professionals easy and secure cross-platform access to information about the physical micro environment within their network devices. This includes CPU temperature, fan speed and power supply status. When trouble brews inside the device?for example, a fan falters?the NetBotz 500 sends out an immediate alert. Such an early warning prevents costly downtime and potential loss of critical business data.

An efficient, reliable approach to monitoring, Advanced Device Crawlers confines SNMP traffic to an organization's LAN.
