Net Optics Acquires 2

Net Optics, Inc., the leading provider of Intelligent Access and Monitoring Architecture, today announced its acquisition of Triplelayer, a private Australia-based distributor, and its sister company, nMetrics, a market leader in network and application analysis software. Net Optics now becomes the only provider to offer customers an integrated solution embodying total network visibility along with deep insight, statistics and analysis capabilities. The first solution featuring the companies' combined strengths will be the innovative appTap™. Unique in the industry, the appTap offers unprecedented advanced visibility and analytics for remote and branch offices.

Net Optics and Triplelayer already have an eight-year history of successful joint deployments for some of the world's largest telecommunications providers, financial services firms and enterprises across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Triplelayer has been the primary distributor of Net Optics products in APAC during the past two years.

"Our vision with this acquisition was to help our customers increase network access and consolidate tools to achieve a monitoring architecture that delivers end-to-end visibility and lower cost," said Bob Shaw, CEO of Net Optics. "We also wanted to provide our customers an opportunity to scale their overall network performance and security. By incorporating existing nMetrics technologies into our own solutions, we are able to make advanced technology not only easy to use, but extremely cost-efficient for our customers."
