LANSURVEYOR FOR MAC OS X AND JAGUAR NOW AVAILABLE Features New Backup Profiler, Map Topologies, Xserve Support, and More Lafayette, CA - August 28th, 2002 - Neon Software, the leader in Macintosh Network Management tools, announced today the immediate availability of LANsurveyor(R) 7.0 for Mac OS X. LANsurveyor's powerful network mapping, managing and reporting provides a fully-scaleable, enterprise-level solution for cross-platform network management. LANsurveyor 7.0 includes a number of new map and report options as well as support for the Aqua interface, Mac OS X, Xserve systems, and Jaguar, Apple Computer's latest Mac OS X release. In addition to explicit support for Apple technologies, LANsurveyor 7.0 supports several new map types and increased reporting capabilities. LANsurveyor supports Mac OS X v10.1.5 and 10.2 as well as Mac OS 8 and 9. LANsurveyor also includes 20 Neon Responders for Mac OS and Windows, including Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. "Network administrators require support for the latest technologies in their core management applications," said Craig Isaacs, Neon president. "LANsurveyor now includes complete support of Apple Computer's latest technologies, including Jaguar and the new Xserve hardware as well as support for more than 40 new SNMP-based devices and services." INDUSTRY FIRST: DATA ASSET REPORTING WITH BACKUP PROFILER(TM) Neon Responders can be installed on network clients to enhance LANsurveyor's functionality, including file distribution, messaging and reporting. LANsurveyor's powerful reporting features generate complete software and hardware asset inventory reports of the entire network, saving time and IT resources. LANsurveyor 7.0 now features Backup Profiler which allows administrators to further understand valuable data assets that reside on client computers. Backup Profiler tracks the amount and type of data on client computers and the change rate of that data. Network administrators finally have a tool they can use to plan for data security on all Macintosh and Windows computers when using the Neon Responder. "You can't afford to back up every document on every desktop. Even worse, you can't afford to miss the critical documents," said Dorian Cougias, president of Network Frontiers, LLC. "Network Administrators the world over have told us how hard it is to choose which files to back up on end user machines and which can be ignored. Too many administrators have had to ignore everything because of space and time limitations. LANsurveyor's Backup Profiler is the first network management application that lets network administrators discern what data is important and where it is." Network Frontiers is releasing its newest book, "Backup and Recovery: From Desktop to Datacenter." Details are available at www.netfrontiers.com. NEW SNMP DEVICES AND SERVICES LANsurveyor 7.0 features support for more than 40 new SNMP-based devices. A partial list of new devices and services includes Xerox, Wind River, Minolta, Nokia, SCO, Xserve, Pairgain, Avaya, Freebsd, Foundry Networks, Linksys, and Tektronix. NEW MAP TOPOLOGIES LANsurveyor automatically draws network maps and displays network objects (computers, printers, routers and other nodes) and then provides detailed profiles of the devices found. LANsurveyor 7.0 now includes three new map topologies in addition to linear maps: symmetrical, circular, and orthogonal. These four topologies allow administrators to display their networks in the manner that most closely matches their requirements. AVAILABILITY The LANsurveyor Management Station comes bundled with 20 Neon Responder licenses and is available for $495. Neon Responders are available in 25, 50, 100, and 500 packs starting at $250. Upgrades for current LANsurveyor owners are $129, and customers who have purchased LANsurveyor since July 1, 2002, will receive a free upgrade.
