SENSAGE UNVEILS EVENTSCOPE FOR SMARTS; EMC® CENTERA™ PROVEN OFFERING INTEGRATED WITH EMC SMARTS FOR ADVANCED LOG DATA RETENTION AND ANALYSIS

SenSage Extends Systems Management Event Analytics Within EMC Smarts Technology Alliance Program

SAN FRANCISO, CA – February 14, 2006 – SenSage, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise security analytics, today unveiled the new SenSage EventScope that integrates with the EMC Smarts impact and analysis engine for extensible event log data management. The SenSage EMC Centera Proven offering delivers high-performance, enterprise-scalable event log retention and analytics for Smarts. Through the SenSage EventScope feature, customers can:

• Fortify their security monitoring, compliance reporting and audit processes,
• Accelerate problem determination and systems analysis trending and investigation,
• Better achieve service levels by reducing down-time and improving operations, and
• Fully leverage their investment in both EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS) system and EMC Smarts software.

SenSage is peerless in delivering combined event-data collection, compression, retention and analytics. The SenSage appliance-like architecture enables unparalleled precision, long-term search and trending against terabytes of event log data, while optimizing storage capacity and operational savings. The company introduced its SenSage Security Compliance Bundle featuring Centera last year. This EMC Centera Proven offering combines SenSage security analytics software and Centera system to deliver fast, easy online data access with content authenticity and petabyte scalability.

“The complexity of networks, systems and applications generates huge amounts of management information. IT executives often struggle with the challenge of sorting through this information to accurately diagnose root problems and make decisive corrections to ensure availability, defenses and security,” said Jerald Murphy, senior vice president and research director at Robert Frances Group. “IT executives should analyze both real-time and long-term event data sets in order to have a complete, effective management strategy.”

As a result of its strategic role in helping customers implement information lifecycle management (ILM) strategies, EMC enables enterprises to more effectively manage their growing volumes of information – from creation to disposal – according to the information’s changing value to the business.

“IT staff is usually inundated with systems and security noise that they need to act on appropriately. EMC Smarts offers an impressive platform to monitor the infrastructure and automate network systems management,” said Jim Pflaging, president and chief executive officer of business development at SenSage. “SenSage extends this competence by providing a scalable, high-speed analytic data repository that uniquely streamlines long-term event analysis and problem determination.”

Smarts offers centralized visibility of availability and performance for infrastructure devices. Utilizing the Smarts API, SenSage EventScope enables security alerts, which are generated by threshold and cross-system correlated rules, to be incorporated within the Smarts solution – putting SenSage security incidents into greater topographical and business context. In addition, SenSage captures Smarts alerts, systems events and audit records within the SenSage analytic repository to enable compressed, long-term event retention and high-speed correlated analysis.

“Infrastructure optimization, business resiliency and security are top IT challenges that require real-time management and the means to facilitate incident response and analysis,” said Chris Gahagan, Senior Vice President, EMC Software Group. “SenSage log management performance and scalability – when integrated with both EMC Smarts and EMC Centera – provides a compelling IT infrastructure management solution for our mutual customers.”

SenSage is a member of EMC Smarts Technology Alliance Program. The SenSage EventScope feature is currently available as a free option to SenSage customers. The SenSage enterprise security analytics system, an EMC Centera Proven offering, can seamlessly integrate with new and existing Smarts and Centera deployments.
