SolarWinds launches new hybrid IT monitoring solution

SolarWinds has introduced the next generation of its Observability platform, which is set to offer improved monitoring solutions for hybrid IT environments. This new version is available in both self-hosted and SaaS (Software as a Service) options, giving organizations more flexibility in how they manage their IT systems.

The updated platform helps businesses monitor both on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments with ease. As hybrid IT setups, where companies use both cloud and on-premises systems become more common, organizations face challenges in keeping everything running smoothly. SolarWinds’ new solution is expected to bridge the gap by providing full visibility into all IT systems, whether they’re on-site or in the cloud.

Addressing IT Visibility Challenges

Many organizations struggle with visibility in their hybrid IT environments. SolarWinds aims to solve this issue by offering a platform that monitors everything from servers to cloud-native systems. 

Cullen Childress, Senior Vice President of Products at SolarWinds, highlighted that the new platform meets the demand for better visibility. “Customers told us they need a solution that provides insights into both their on-premises and cloud systems. SolarWinds Observability delivers that”, he said.

Key Features of SolarWinds Observability

• Broader Infrastructure Monitoring: The new platform helps track critical server components like bandwidth and response time, ensuring high performance.
• Expanded Cloud Monitoring: It now supports AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes environments, providing real-time insights into cloud systems.
• AI-Driven Alerts: Enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) features offer smarter alerts, helping IT teams address issues faster.

Krishna Sai, Senior Vice President of Technology and Engineering at SolarWinds, emphasized that customers have control over how they manage their IT systems. “We let customers decide how they monitor their hybrid IT infrastructure, not the other way around”, he stated.

The latest version of SolarWinds Observability is designed to make managing modern IT environments easier and more efficient, helping businesses improve performance while cutting costs.
