ENTUITY ADDS NEW ARCHITECTURE TO EYE OF THE STORM FOR GROUNDBREAKING IT INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT AND ROI

NEW YORK, NY – July 22, 2002 - Entuity, Inc., a technology pioneer in IT infrastructure management software, announced today version 2.7 of its acclaimed Eye of the Storm®, a cornerstone solution offering full fault, performance and inventory management for maximum ROI and use of technical/staff resources. The latest version includes frame relay management. It also features a groundbreaking extensible architecture, StormWorks®, for building configuration files allowing for rapid adoption of new infrastructure technologies.

In other news, Entuity has also announced a third round of funding totaling $8.5 million (see press release, "Entuity Secures Third Round Of Funding" distributed today on Businesswire). The infusion of capital includes backing by two new investors, Mitsubishi Corporation and Gartmore Investment Limited. The news follows Entuity's strongest quarterly earnings to date with the close the second quarter of 2002.

"Eye of the Storm 2.7 heralds a landmark shift in the industry towards the intelligent integration and consolidation of management investments,' said analyst Dennis Drogseth, Vice President, Enterprise Management Associates. "With Storm Works, Eye of the Storm will bring users a broader range of integrated data sources combined with superior analytics for performance, availability, service level management and even inventory management across the networked infrastructure. This will mean even greater investment value from one of the industry's product innovators."

"As a provider of managed services, our customers have increasing demands for high reliability and greater accountability," said Laura Whitcher, Director of Services Marketing for Vanguard Managed Solutions. "By incorporating Eye of the Storm 2.7 into our global NOC, we deliver predictive management, detecting early indicators of network degradation before it can impact our customers' business processes, helping to increase their overall satisfaction."

Eye of the Storm 2.7 is a cornerstone suite unifying fault, performance and inventory management in a single, integrated package. The solution is highly regarded for its detailed reporting and robust device and inventory management. The holistic approach of performance and inventory data gathering enables true IT infrastructure resource management, while combined fault and performance monitoring delivers heightened service levels -- an area of particular concern for IT managers facing decreased NOC staffing and budget.

"While Eye of the Storm has always lead the way in proactive network management at the highest cost-value, our latest version further answers current economic demands," said Gerry O'Connell, CEO of Entuity. "For both existing management requirements and adoption of future, bleeding edge technology, there is no better solution."

Enhanced Frame Relay Management
Eye of the Storm 2.7 delivers a new level of frame relay management, enabling IT personnel to improve WAN visibility, efficiencies and planning. With the WAN often being the most expensive piece of the network puzzle, significant cost savings can immediately result. It includes:

- PDF based performance reports and trend analysis for capacity planning
- Automated DLCI peering
- PVC traffic profiling
- Real-time congestion alarms

StormWorks Extensible Architecture
The new StormWorks kernel is the core delivery engine of Eye of the Storm's data gathering, storage and presentation services, and will underpin Entuity's new generation of products. Foremost, StormWorks customizes information gathering via control files rather than source code changes, greatly simplifying and expediting the adoption of new infrastructure technologies.

Availability
Eye of the Storm 2.7 is available immediately, directly through Entuity.
