Newark, New Jersey - December 12, 2001
OpenDemand Systems and Xand Corporation today announced a new partnership that enables Xand to provide comprehensive web performance testing and analysis as part of its core service offering.

Recognizing the importance of first-rate system performance for companies conducting business over the Internet, Xand joined with OpenDemand to provide clients the opportunity to test their hosted systems.

Joe Fuccillo, Senior Vice-President of Xand noted that evaluating a company's current architecture is paramount to optimum functionality and to scaling the infrastructure to meet growing demands.

"The ability to determine existing strengths and weaknesses within a company's web-based system allows our customers to proactively make changes to their environment, which enhances performance and ensures that systems are capable of scaling parallel to a company's growing needs," said Fuccillo.

"By partnering with OpenDemand, we are able to gather valuable information that allows us to identify bottlenecks within customer applications. This data enables us to provide analysis, consultation and technical reviews to render suggestions and recommendations for the most viable performance and scaling solutions," said Fuccillo.

OpenDemand delivers web based performance management solutions via load and stress testing and performance monitoring tools. Services also include customized, rules-based performance management assessments based on a company's individual requirements and standards.

"OpenDemand's specialized performance testing services impart Xand with the resources necessary to compliment their current managed hosting and infrastructure offering," said Donald Doane, the Company's Founder and CEO.

"By employing OpenDemand's state-of-the-art web performance management solutions, Xand's customers can now benefit from gaining the fundamental information about their hosted systems that will help them increase availability, measure and monitor performance, and predict future needs " continued Doane.

Both Xand and OpenDemand executives referred to the partnership between the two companies as an extremely positive and beneficial alliance that will afford clientele with tier-one managed services as well as highly functioning systems.

"This new analysis provides a forward looking and cost effective offering to businesses aiming to optimize their current systems and be attentive to future scalability issues," said Fuccillo. "Such knowledge certainly provides a solid foundation upon which to continue building efficient business systems," concluded Fuccillo.
