completely integrated, Web-based Web site tracking application that enables
Webmasters and IS professionals to graphically view a live snapshot of
their Web site activity at any point in time. The ARIA platform is a powerful,
easy-to-use, object-oriented, multi-threaded recording and analysis engine
which operates in a distributed computing environment based on client/server
interaction. It is easy to install and maintain. Among the most significant
advantages of ARIA are its scaleability and on-demand reporting capability.
The scaleable design ensures that the system will be able to track a siteÆs
activity, even as traffic grows to millions of hits per day. Because ARIA
is an extension of the Web server, activity data is constantly updated
to provide an up-to-date picture of what is happening on the site. ARIA
Recorder Reporter consists of a number of discrete modules. ARIA Monitor
is a flexible shared library that runs as an extension to a Web server
and monitors all traffic between visiting clients and the monitored Web
server. It also captures meta data about the content being delivered to
the Web client. ARIA Monitor streams all captured client/server traffic
information to ARIA Recorder, which is an extremely robust data management
engine that parses the incoming data stream, labels each element and passes
the data to ARIA Store. ARIA Store creates objects which describe the Web
site activity for persistent storage and maintains a database of these
objects. Finally, ARIA Reporter provides a simple, powerful and intuitive
way to visualize the activity on the Web site using any frames-capable
browser. ARIA Reporter stores activity information in an object database,
which makes the retrieval of information easy and flexible. ARIA Reporter
uses the objects in the database to create reports. Pricing for the ARIA
Recorder Reporter begins at $6,995 for Web sites that receive between 10,000
and 30,000 hits per day and ranges up to $14,995 for those that garner
between 60,000 and 100,000 hits per day. Custom builds and pricing are
available for sites with over 100,000 hits per day. The Companies NewMedia,
