Today marks a significant milestone for SolarWinds, as we’ve
formally announced our organizational direction to evolve from our leadership position in monitoring to become a leader in observability. Today is also significant because it marks the
official release of our SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly known as Hybrid Cloud Observability), and I’m excited to share more details on what we believe expands the scope of observability for the market.
SolarWinds has built a vast global customer base spanning organizations of all sizes and sectors. In the past few years, we’ve seen our customers embark on data-driven transformations, evolving their environments from on-premises to hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments.
To further support our customers’ future success—while also meeting our customers where they are today—we knew we needed to embark on our own product transformation. Here are some of the notable offerings and options you’ll see through today’s significant software release of
SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly known as Hybrid Cloud Observability) solution:

SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly known as Hybrid Cloud Observability) provides a complete view of how best to monitor, observe, and manage the infrastructure driving your organization. Through a single pane of glass, you can receive health scores and insights across your networks, applications, databases, and systems—wherever they reside. This fully integrated view can help you identify and diagnose service issues, determine root cause, and flag potential security threats with greater efficiency than ever before.
