NetCurrents Expands Technology Using Linux Operating System for Development of New Corporate Internet Services: Company Meets Uninterrupted Technology Milestone
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2000--NetCurrents, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTCS) today announced that it is expanding its proprietary, real-time technology using a Linux based operating system to develop new features and client services.
These services include competitive intelligence, strategic information dissemination, due diligence support, merger/acquisition support, asset tracking, forensic accounting support and numerous crisis intervention services. This comes amidst news that NetCurrents reached a technology milestone this week, as their Linux servers have continuously been online for more than one year, providing uninterrupted service to their clients.
In order to continue to improve the functionality of NetCurrents' proprietary technology and support the expanded range of services being offered to its clients, the Company will continue to expand its use of the Linux operating system.
NetCurrents' patent pending, real-time, proprietary technology is the basis for a wide range of services that assist corporations in monitoring and analyzing what is being said about them on the Internet. NetCurrents also counsels companies in properly analyzing this information, assisting them in developing proactive strategies concerning the dissemination of accurate information and developing positive corporate perceptions.
"When designing the NetCurrents system to support our proprietary technology, we needed to build a foundation that could grow and expand as new services were created", said Carlos Gonzalez, Chief Technology Officer at NetCurrents.
"Since our technology scans more than 50,000 Internet locations, web sites, newsgroups and e-publications in a matter of minutes, allowing our Internet Strategists to provide information to our clients in real time, reliability is essential. With Linux as our operating system, we have been continuously online since the we began operations. Our experience with Linux confirms our belief that we provide the most reliable service available."
"We continue to build upon our solid foundation of technology to provide the ever increasing level of services our clients have come to expect", added Gonzalez. "Since we provide services in real-time to many major corporations simultaneously, we cannot afford technical problems which would hinder our ability to meet their stringent reporting and analytical requirements. This one-year technical milestone with Linux is excellent evidence of the reliability and dependability we have built into our hardware and software solution."
