(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The latest updates to the SolarWinds Orion platform enable groundbreaking end-
to-end hybrid IT management-complete cloud and deep on-premises visibility in a
unified interface to better understand systems and improve their performance
like never before
CORK, Ireland, March 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SolarWinds, a leading provider
of powerful and affordable IT management software, today revealed its latest
capabilities for end-to-end hybrid IT management through key updates to its
modular and scalable SolarWinds(®) Orion(®) platform and related products. With
these updates, SolarWinds enables complete cloud visibility along with deep on-
premises monitoring and a new, dynamic drag-and-drop dashboard to visualise
infrastructure and application relationships. These new features help IT
professionals monitor, troubleshoot, and improve hybrid IT performance with a
simplicity like never before.

"For all of its benefits, the nearly universal shift to a hybrid IT strategy
that links internal and external IT services can lead to complex, multi-faceted
performance issues that span across systems and networks owned by an
organisation, their service providers, and their cloud vendors," said Christoph
Pfister, executive vice president, products, SolarWinds. "As a result, IT
professionals need comprehensive visibility into every aspect of their hybrid
environments that may impact application performance. They then need a way to
correlate that data so they can break down the walls between functional roles,
service providers, and cloud vendors; eliminate finger pointing; and solve
hybrid performance problems faster. Today's SolarWinds Orion platform and
product enhancements enable just that: end-to-end hybrid IT management."
End-to-End Hybrid IT Management from SolarWinds
According to the SolarWinds IT Trends Report 2016: The Hybrid IT Evolution, a
mere 7 percent of UK organisations have not migrated any infrastructure or
applications to the cloud, yet 65 percent stated they will likely never
transition all services offsite, making hybrid IT the reality for IT departments
today and for the foreseeable future. The survey also found that, while the
cloud is key to business success, the challenges of hybrid IT environments are
many. Increased management complexity brought on by combining cloud and on-
premises services, along with a lack of control over and visibility into cloud
services, ranked among the most prevalent issues faced by IT professionals.
To help overcome these challenges, the SolarWinds Orion platform enables unified
monitoring and management of cloud, on-premises, and hybrid IT services. This is
accomplished through products such as SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
(SAM), which provides deep visibility into the performance of business-critical
applications and the infrastructure that supports them on-premises and in the
cloud; SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM), which provides
comprehensive network performance monitoring with the NetPath((TM) )feature for
critical path visualisation on-premises and in the cloud; and SolarWinds
Database Performance Analyzer (DPA), which features unique Multi-Dimensional
Performance Analysis((TM)) across on-premises and cloud database environments.
The latest enhancements to these products, powered by the SolarWinds Orion
platform, include:
* Cloud infrastructure monitoring from within the SolarWinds SAM module. The
SolarWinds Orion platform now monitors Amazon(®) Web Services (AWS(®))
instances and volumes via the Amazon CloudWatch API, providing more
visibility into cloud applications and the cloud infrastructure that
supports them. This enhances what is already provided by the agent-based and
agent-less capabilities in the product.
* Support for Microsoft(®) Azure(®) SQL and AWS Aurora((TM)) RDS databases
within SolarWinds DPA, enabling database administrators and developers to
get maximum performance from their cloud databases and reduce infrastructure
requirements using Multi-Dimensional Performance Analysis.
* Support for Cisco(®) Meraki(®) wireless access points within SolarWinds NPM.
Cisco Meraki wireless access points are 100 percent cloud-managed, enabling
network engineers to focus on configuring network behaviours rather than
individual network components. SolarWinds NPM now provides a single robust
tool for monitoring both locally managed and Cisco Meraki cloud-managed
wireless access points.
* Enhanced network path monitoring within NetPath in SolarWinds NPM, which
provides visibility into network performance and path analysis across the
internet. View devices, applications, networks, and vendors in single-page
path analysis to track every hop, and view latency historically or in real-
time.
Drag-and-Drop Correlation in a Powerful Dashboard for Hybrid IT Environments
Also, new today is the general availability of the SolarWinds PerfStack((TM))
dashboard, enabling next-generation capabilities for hybrid IT troubleshooting.
PerfStack is a significant new capability available in the SolarWinds Orion
platform. It is a highly customisable, yet simple-to-build dashboard. PerfStack
allows IT administrators to selectively drag and drop critical real-time and
historical metrics from virtually any SolarWinds Orion-based product, including
cloud and on-premises performance data, into a single customisable chart to
visualise the relationship between suspect elements. This enables IT
professionals to identify, isolate, and troubleshoot hybrid IT performance
problems in ways never before possible with this level of simplicity.
Making PerfStack even more powerful is the ability for administrators to
collaborate with others by easily sharing the custom PerfStack charts they have
created, helping break down the functional silos within their IT organisations
and solve performance problems faster.
As a new component of the SolarWinds Orion platform, PerfStack is included in
the latest versions of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (12.1), SolarWinds
Server & Application Monitor (6.4), SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (4.2.2),
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (7.1), SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor
(6.4), and SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (2.2.1).
Additional Quotes
"As we accelerate our investigation of cloud technologies, providing a converged
view of both our on-premises and cloud environments is critical in maintaining
the high level of operational transparency we enjoy today," said Joshua Biggley,
engineer, enterprise applications, Cardinal Health. "Leveraging the new cloud
infrastructure monitoring features in SolarWinds SAM will give us visibility
into our AWS environment using a common dataset that is already familiar and
known to our cloud engineering team. That standard of a familiar dataset is also
extremely valuable to our database performance teams as we explore the use of
cloud-based database technologies-SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is
our trusted performance monitoring platform for our on-premises databases and
has provided critical visibility into our RDS-based deployments."
"In spite of our successes, the number one ask from our infrastructure and
application teams is, 'How can we leverage the data SolarWinds collects to
reduce our mean time to repair?'," Biggley added. "In the past, we've relied on
static dashboards that required teams to pre-emptively guess what metrics might
be required to investigate an issue. While static dashboards will continue to
exist for operational awareness, the new SolarWinds PerfStack dashboard is the
dynamic analytics tool we've been waiting for. It will empower operational teams
to perform real-time analytics of data across multiple platforms and SolarWinds
modules. This converged view of metrics, driven by the users who know their
applications, infrastructure, and the issues they are trying to solve, is
exactly the kind of data liberation our monitoring team has been working
towards."
"Modern application environments are increasingly complex, spanning varied on-
premises infrastructure, public cloud, private cloud, and combinations of the
above," said Nancy Gohring, senior analyst, 451 Research. "Correlating
operations data generated by each piece of the puzzle is key to offering
developers and operations staff the insights they need to quickly solve problems
that emerge in this new, complex environment."
