InternetPerils, Inc., a provider of automated products for Internet Business Risk Management, has announced PerilSnap, a quick and easy way for users to examine the Internet near their IP address for anomalies, nonredundant paths, and other potential risks to their networks performance.

Now in beta, a simple PerilSnap is free and provides a snapshot of the users Internet neighborhood. More complex PerilSnaps - including PerilSnapPlus and PerilSnap Deluxe, both available on a subscription basis - can examine multiple IP addresses and even provide animations that clearly illustrate the health and performance of the users network neighborhood over time.

For the first time, Internet users, whether from the home office or enterprise, can now easily review a snapshot of the Internet that directly impacts the quality of their networks IP performance. PerilSnap visualizations represent nodes in the nearby Internet neighborhood: client computers, servers, and routers. PerilSnaps color-coding also show the relative health and performance of the users nearby network by illustrating speeds of connections between devices including the latencies, packet loss, and non-responding nodes along the network.

PerilSnap is the first InternetPerils product based on the companys patented Gap Analysis of Internet Networks (GAIN) platform and PerilScope visualization technology that visualize and display logical topologies and performance of the Internet from any number of abstraction levels, to reveal perils as small as a non-redundant link to anomalies as large as natural hurricanes as well as cyber-hurricanes.
