Web site development is perhaps one of the most financially critical activities of the new millennium, yet companies do not have adequate tools to effectively support the environment. GNW offers the best technology available for tracking web site performance, for effecting real improvements and optimizations, and for reporting that performance to management.

Each GNW web metric, gathered from outside or inside the enterprise, contains granular measurements, or key indicators, if you will, which are extremely effective at pinpointing the source of performance bottlenecks. This means rapid problem resolution, which protects streams and customer service functionality.

Standard Web Monitoring
GNW’s standard web monitoring includes performance metrics in granular format for target URLs. Standard monitoring is the process of measuring web page download times, without downloading all of the associated objects in a page.
Each URL is tracked every 15 minutes, and all data is sent to the GNW central database system. If errors are detected, notifications are sent out according to the specifications defined by users through the GNW online interface, or according to custom processes.

Redirect Support
Redirects to any depth are supported by the GNW web monitoring engine so that users can track even complex banner ad URLs.

Full Page Monitoring
GNW supports downloading of all images and objects in a web page. Unlike other service providers, GNW downloads all images and objects in your web page, including ActiveX controls, JavaScript libraries, style sheets, and flash animations. GNW also fully supports frame sets, Akamized content, and dynamic URLs. GNW’s full page download really means the full page!

SSL Support
GNW fully supports all forms of SSL encryption, and provides unique metrics to measure SSL impact and the performance of your Certificate Authority.

GNW’s Unique Approach
GNW’s unique approach is based on maximum flexibility and custom browser software. But don’t worry, to the web server, GNW monitoring looks exactly like a real user.

Complete User Control
For the first time, you can now have complete control over your web monitoring. Starting with your monitoring station selections, you can choose to monitor from any location offered by GNW. You choose the locations, in real time, through GNW’s easy to use online interface.

GNW users can change URLs at any time, suspend notifications, or schedule planned outages. No other service in the market today is so flexible.
GNW even offers the ability to change the actual headers sent to your web server, allowing the web monitoring service to emulate ANY browser. In this way, monitoring can be configured to appear to the web server as Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, Opera, Conqueror, or any other web browser.
Users can also check for valid HTML in any web page to ensure that the web server is serving the correct content.

Tactical Monitoring
GNW benefits its customers by helping them build sound strategies for monitoring their web infrastructure. GNW will help you develop a tactical monitoring plan that works within your budget and provides the visibility you need for effective web site performance management.

Load Balancer Support
GNW fully supports load balancing, whether load balancing hardware or DNS round robin is involved. GNW offers a variety of settings and strategies to assist web site operators in the ongoing management of load balancing clusters.

GNW will verify if your load balancer is distributing the load evenly, and will even detect errors on specific servers within the load balancing cluster.

Please do not hesitate to contact GNW for more information.
