FineGround Networks Selected as One of Red Herring's Best of the Best

    Company Stresses Fast Web Performance Guarantees Customer Satisfaction

    DANA POINT, Calif., NDA CONFERENCE, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- FineGround
Networks, Inc., the leader in content acceleration for the enterprise today
presented at the 2001 Red Herring NDA Conference. Selected as "Best of the
Best" in its category, FineGround's CEO and president Nat Kausik emphasized
that in today's economy, enterprise IT departments are looking for cost-
effective ways to accelerate Web site performance in order to deliver faster
response to their customers, employees and partners. Additionally, companies
are demanding solutions with a ROI payback of less than 6-8 months.
    Mr. Kausik outlined the top 3 myths in Web performance and provided
information to debunk these myths. He commenced by stating that broadband
rollout was slower than expected, with the vast majority of Internet access
still on dial-up. Although DSL and cable services are becoming more widely
available, there are ongoing delays due to infrastructure and cost issues.
Secondly, Mr. Kausik went on to observe that while the investment in edge
caching and content delivery networks had accelerated static content such as
advertisements and graphics, the fundamental problem of accelerating dynamic
business information such as secure transactions, inventory controls, and
online tracking, remained unsolved. Finally, Mr. Kausik pointed out that while
server hardware performance had doubled in the last year, network performance
had remained unchanged. Mr. Kausik concluded that there is pent-up demand for
an end-to-end solution that overcomes network bottlenecks from the enterprise
all the way through the last mile to the end user.
    "Enterprises require technologies that accelerate dynamic, personalized
information including secure transactions while reducing operating costs,"
said Nat Kausik, CEO and president of FineGround Networks.
