Unique Advantages

Several of the 24 unique sources that power the NetGeo engine are proprietary, patent-pending technologies developed out of the NetGeo engineering team's deep understanding and experience in Internet intelligence. One of these proprietary techniques is NetGeo's Host Name Translation engine (HNTR), which interprets a host domain name and extracts the location information embedded in it. NetGeo currently has the ability to extract this location data from the existing 100MM host names. While the idea is simple in theory, the actual engine is difficult to develop; the process is based on accumulated engineering knowledge and experience that cannot be replicated easily by other geo-location providers. The resulting database provides reliable intelligence on more IP addresses, at a higher accuracy rate, than can be obtained from the use of publicly available sources. Particularly for enterprises dealing with high volumes of web traffic and for companies using Internet geo-location solutions in core product offerings, NetGeo's high level of accuracy is a necessity for doing business. Other

Best-of-Breed Accuracy
NetGeo produces highly accurate results with over 99% accuracy at the country level.

Mission-Critical Speed
The NetGeo engine can process over 7,000 queries per second.

Confidence Levels
Each individual result from the NetGeo engine is accompanied by a confidence rating, indicating the potential accuracy of that particular result.

Verification and Benchmarking
The NetGeo database incorporates an intelligence agent that constantly "double-checks" and benchmarks results for improved accuracy.

High Granularity
NetGeo's engine provides intelligence about a web user's country, state, city, zip code, company, organization, and method of Internet connection.

Flexible API
The NetGeo thin client API, available in Java, C/C++, PERL and PHP, is highly customizable to an organization's particular needs.

Multi-Platform Server Application
The NetGeo server application runs on any operating system, whether UNIX, Windows NT/2000, Solaris, Free BSD, or Linux.

Scalability
NetGeo is easily scalable to any organization's needs and is easily integrated with the largest enterprise infrastructure.

Easily Installation
The NetGeo system can be installed in one day or less. While the data extraction logic behind the solution is complex, the database software package that enables client access is only 40K in size and is configured as a simple plug-in. And updates can be installed in just a few minutes
