Posted by New Delhi: SolarWinds has announced the launch of the next generation of SolarWinds Observability, now available in self-hosted or SaaS options. with the main focus on hybrid IT. The company has expanded its network, infrastructure, and cloud observability capabilities, offering customers exceptional value and uncompromising flexibility in deployment.
These updates include broader on-premises infrastructure monitoring, expanded cloud infrastructure observability, and enhanced artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) capabilities.
“This next generation of SolarWinds Observability closes the hybrid visibility gaps we’ve heard voiced by IT practitioners and leaders around the world,” said Cullen Childress, SVP of Product, – SolarWinds.
“They’ve told us they’re struggling to find a solution that provides the level of visibility they need over both their on-premises and cloud-native ecosystems. SolarWinds is ending their struggle today,” added Childress.
According to research conducted by GigaOm, complex, distributed hybrid IT environments present visibility and management challenges for most organisations today. 85% of those surveyed say application complexity and volume are operational challenges—and 67% say it’s the primary challenge in running legacy or virtualised applications on physical infrastructure.
In other research, Flexera recently found that 73% of organisations utilise a hybrid cloud architecture, and Gartner revealed that 50% of critical enterprise applications will reside outside of centralised public cloud locations through 2027.
Unfortunately, most existing monitoring and observability solutions in the market focus on on-premises or cloud deployments, forcing IT organisations to prioritise one over the other. This creates a hybrid IT observability gap for the vast majority of organisations still managing hybrid architectures. SolarWinds Observability gives customers the choice to monitor and observe in a way that best fits their needs.
SolarWinds offers a solution that provides expansive visibility and AI-driven insights, helping customers manage modern IT environments efficiently, enhance performance, ensure flexible deployment, and optimise IT costs and resources.
“We believe customers should decide how they monitor and manage their hybrid IT infrastructures — not vendors dictating their choices,” said Krishna Sai, SVP of Technology and Engineering, SolarWinds.
“SolarWinds meets customers where they are in their hybrid IT journey so they can explore and adopt our offerings and modernise and move to the cloud confidently and at their own pace,” added Sai.
New and expanded capabilities for SolarWinds Observability SaaS and Self-Hosted include broader on-premises infrastructure monitoring, expanded cloud infrastructure observability, more comprehensive network performance, traffic flow, and path analysis, coverage for more devices and significantly increased scale, built-in intelligence and AI/ML capabilities and enhanced SolarWinds Platform Connect.
SolarWinds also announced a new combined license for its two Database Observability self-hosted products, Database Performance Analyzer and SQL Sentry. Whether customers need the broad coverage of DPA for a variety of database types like MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or the deep SQL Server analysis and exploration of SQL Sentry, they’ll be able to buy one license and use it for either product, providing the freedom and flexibility to choose the right solution for the environment.
