Networks, an IT Pro's Foundation
Once relatively simple to troubleshoot, the network has evolved from a static, physical, manually configured infrastructure to one that is dynamic, virtual and automated. This evolution has shifted the way IT pros tackle their environments, and the need for affordable and easy-to-use network management software has never been greater.
"Increasing complexity and layers of virtual infrastructure upon existing infrastructure components creates additional burden on IT staff. This evolution is driving an ever-increasing preference for monitoring technologies with a simple and easy to use value proposition, ease of implementation, purchasing, and ongoing maintenance. Technology providers that are focused on usability and ease of implementation without professional services create additional value in time savings and capital preservation," said Jonah Kowall, Research Director, Gartner.
While most network management companies miss or overlook changes to the network domain chasing the next "big thing," SolarWinds' network management products have kept pace with the market and trends, offering all the features that network engineers cared about without sacrificing usability and scalability.
"For more than 10 years, we have challenged the status quo of expensive and complicated 'framework' solutions established by most other enterprise software vendors. By paying close attention to the needs of the IT pro and building highly useful products that solve their everyday problems out of the box, we have been able to change the dynamics of this space and, in return, have earned the trust of over 75,000 customers looking for a network management tool or solution," said Sanjay Castelino, VP and market leader, SolarWinds.
"As new technologies and IT challenges place an increasingly high demand on network engineers to stretch the limits of their network environments, we will continue to be an advocate and resource for those professionals. We will continue to advance and redefine network management solutions, and we will remain a leader in delivering powerful, affordable and easy-to-use IT management software that solves real-world problems for everyone from the SMB to the large enterprise," continued Castelino.
