The Andromedia ARIA Recorder Reporter is the tool of choice for high-performance Internet and intranet activity tracking and analysis. ARIA is the only live, HTML-based, turnkey application of its kind. ARIA 1.0 resides on Andromedia customers' web servers, providing their entire organizations with real-time access to all of the information needed to analyze their site usage and respond to the needs of their internal and external customers.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF ARIA RECORDER REPORTER

LIVE:

• ARIA captures client-server interactions on a website as they happen and creates reports hourly, so webmasters and content creators always have an up-to-date picture of the site.

EASY:

• Easy to install and maintain. ARIA Recorder Reporter automatically generates reports, and it maintains, compacts, and cleans its own database, so it requires little of a webmaster's time.
  
• HTML-based Reporter means that there is no client software to install. Anyone in an organization can view reports any time using a web browser.
  
• Intuitive Reporter interface. First-time or casual users can easily use ARIA's most powerful features, and can access Andromedia's web-based customer service center directly from ARIA.

TURNKEY:

• Integrated with web server software. ARIA can capture information not included in log files. Webmasters do not need to manage log file import or deal with the hassle and security concerns of sending them to an outside service.
  
• Includes an ObjectStore database from Object Design, Inc. There is no need to buy or maintain a separate database.

SCALEABLE:

• Scaleable. Thread-based architecture allows ARIA to accomodate activity even during peak periods and on very large websites.
  
• Distributable. Most ARIA processes can run on a machine separate from the web server, minimizing the impact on web server performance.
