Why SolarWinds Is Evolving From Monitoring to Observability
April 20, 2022
Monitoring and Observability
At SolarWinds, our purpose is to enrich the lives of the people we serve.
In a world where complexity is expanding, our commitment to offer simple yet powerful IT solutions has served us well throughout our more than 20-year history. Today’s pace of digital transformation means businesses are actively building new applications and leveraging multi-cloud deployments, while reworking their existing ones, to achieve operational excellence.
At SolarWinds, we have a focused mission to help our customers accelerate their business transformation through solutions designed to be simple, powerful, and secure for their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. We believe our behaviors drive outcomes, and the past two years have provided moments where I’m extremely proud of how we as an organization have demonstrated our own agility, readiness, and leadership. Our Secure by Design foundation, along with recent acquisitions in the database and public sectors, have put us in a unique position to meet customers where they are, and help them get to where they want to be.
We believe it is critical for us to address our users’ ability to automate, observe, visualize, and remediate their environments, and in doing so, reduce the time to detect and resolve issues, so they can have more productivity cycles to accelerate their organization’s transformation. And in our continual efforts to align our goals with those of our customers, we knew we needed to evolve from monitoring to observability as a critical first step. Today is a foundational step in that evolution, as we announce the release of our SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly known as Hybrid Cloud Observability) solution.
