SolarWinds recently announced the launch of the next generation of SolarWinds® Observability, now available in self-hosted or SaaS options.
Building on its over 25 years of leadership in network and infrastructure monitoring, the company has expanded its network, infrastructure, and cloud observability capabilities, offering customers exceptional value and uncompromising flexibility in deployment. These enhancements 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 at 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.”
According to research conducted by GigaOm®, complex, distributed hybrid IT environments present visibility and management challenges for most organizations today. In fact, 85% of those surveyed say application complexity and volume are operational challenges—and 67% say it’s the primary challenge in running legacy or virtualized applications on physical infrastructure. Flexera recently found that 73% of organizations utilize a hybrid cloud architecture, and Gartner says 50% of critical enterprise applications will reside outside of centralized public cloud locations through 2027. The hard truth is that our IT reality remains a hybrid one.
Unfortunately, most existing monitoring and observability solutions in the market focus on on-premises or cloud deployments, forcing IT organizations to prioritize one over the other. This creates a hybrid IT observability gap for the vast majority of organizations still managing hybrid architectures. SolarWinds Observability gives customers the choice of what to monitor and observe and how to do it in a way that best fits their needs. SolarWinds offers what every observability vendor should: a solution that provides expansive visibility and AI-driven insights, helping customers manage modern IT environments efficiently, enhance performance, ensure flexible deployment, and optimize 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 at SolarWinds. “SolarWinds meets customers where they are in their hybrid IT journey so they can explore and adopt our offerings and modernize and move to the cloud confidently and at their own pace.”
SolarWinds continuously engages with its customers, its THWACK® online user community, and the broader IT industry to understand the challenges of managing hybrid IT environments. These insights directly informed the product enhancements and roadmap.
“SolarWinds is the right choice for Corevist for the simple reason that they ‘get it,’” said Justin Diana, VP of Information Technology at Corevist. “Not only do they have the right tools, knowledge, and expertise, but they listen. They evolved and grew with us. It’s rare to find partners and vendors in the market like SolarWinds.”
“With SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted, customers can observe their on-premises and cloud workloads from a single pane of glass. Similarly, with SolarWinds Observability SaaS, they can observe their cloud-native workloads and still observe their on-premises infrastructure,” Childress said. “So, no matter where they are today—or where they’re headed next—they have the precision they need in whatever way works best for them.”
