SolarWinds, Hyper9 and performance management | ZDNet
Summary
SolarWinds, Inc. (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software to more than 97,000 customers worldwide, today announced that it is set to address the unmet and growing needs of systems and virtualization administrators. The company’s experience in making powerful, easy to use network and storage management products accessible to users in a wide range of businesses gives it an advantage in addressing the unmet needs of IT organizations as they work to ensure the performance and availability of business-critical applications and virtual infrastructure. The SolarWinds product family now covers the fundamental aspects of business-critical applications and IT infrastructure – network, storage and systems –with integrated visibility into both virtual and physical environments. They appear to have also chosen an approach to product pricing and distribution that would be highly attractive to system, network and application administrators rather than trying to appeal to IT or facilities management. Solarwinds and Hyper9 both offer products designed to be highly functional, powerful and can be acquired and then put to work quickly without a great deal of extra training.
