Xaffire Broadens Content Capture Options With 'Accelerating Interceptor' OEM Agreement With HyperSpace Communications Provides Distribution of Jointly Developed Capability DENVER, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HyperSpace(R) Communications, Inc., (AMEX:HCO.UAMEX:orAMEX:HCO_U), a leader in Internet and wide area network acceleration technology, and Xaffire Inc(R), an innovator in live Web session capture and playback technology, today announced an OEM agreement enabling Xaffire to sell and distribute a new, integrated version of HyperSpace's HyperWeb(TM) software with its Xfire(TM) Web application management tools. HyperSpace(R) manufactures and markets software products that accelerate, optimize and secure Web-based and client/server applications over wide area networks and service provider networks, both wired and wireless. In addition to its leading-edge Web-site acceleration capability, HyperWeb Version 7.2 and subsequent releases of the software also can act as a content capture agent for Xfire(TM), providing for an industry-first "accelerating interceptor." Websites can now both accelerate and record all Web server activity with a single, small-footprint software agent. "For HyperSpace, the initial draw of the Xaffire's technology was its live user session capture and replay capability, which enables unprecedented visibility into how a Web application performs for each user," said Mark Endry, president and CEO of HyperSpace. "Xfire is a perfect complement to our HyperWeb offering because both products are committed to optimizing customer-facing applications and decreasing expenditures." The HyperWeb capability extends Xfire's content capture and replay functionality to almost any Web server and operating system environment, including Microsoft(R) IIS(TM) 6 and Sun(R) Server iPlanet(TM), and gives customers the option to purchase HyperWeb's data compression and acceleration capabilities. Xaffire will continue to offer its native-code interceptors for Apache(TM) and IIS(TM) 5. Xfire enables users to view complete Web sessions either live or historically, identify what visitors did on their Website, how the site responded and enhance their end user's experience. HyperWeb accelerates Web-based applications, e-commerce and high-volume Websites for both wired and wireless user bases for dramatic reductions in bandwidth, hardware, software and human resource expenditures. "Recording every user session is essential for any online business to reduce software failures and monitor end-user activity," said David Jilk, CEO of Xaffire. "The combined technologies of Xaffire and HyperSpace offer a product that increases both the service quality and the performance of their customer-facing Web applications." Deployments of Xfire with the HyperWeb interceptor will be available to customers in late November, 2004. About HyperSpace Communications, Inc.
