SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced its participation at GITEX Technology Week,
December 6 - 10, 2020, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. SolarWinds will
be represented at GISEC by one of their key Partners, Spire, at Booth
H7-D40, and exhibit online through the GITEX 2020 virtual event
platform. The company, who holds the May 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice distinction for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics, will exhibit the latest updates to its SolarWinds Orion Platform.
Key
benefits of the SolarWinds Orion Platform include centralized
monitoring and management of a company's entire IT stack, from
infrastructure to applications, and scalable architecture reaching
across physical, virtualized, and cloud IT environments. In addition to
the ability to be deployed on-premises, in virtualized environments, and
in Microsoft Azure, the Orion Platform offers a simple, secure, and integrated experience.
Businesses across the Middle East and North Africa continue to evolve their IT systems to cope with the demands of supporting a remote workforce-even
post-pandemic-and process automation will be a crucial weapon in their
arsenal. A major challenge for businesses in the coming months will be
bringing their IT systems up to speed in a cost-effective manner,
enabling them to accommodate remote access and work from home
initiatives in the long term.
"Organizations
of all sizes have complex IT environments that make managing IT
challenging. We design our products to be powerful and easy to use, and
many are built on a common technology platform, the SolarWinds Orion
Platform, enabling companies to implement our products individually and
grow as needed. They're highly scalable, and our integrated network and
systems performance data is combined from multiple parts of the tech
stack to provide a single, unified, application-centric view and
experience," stated Sascha Giese, SolarWinds Head Geek.
IT teams are redoubling their efforts to meet the increased demand for remote network access while
simultaneously maintaining the highest standards of online security.
Since March 2020, SolarWinds has seen an uptick in demand for its range
of IT security solutions-particularly
those designed to monitor VPN connections-as IT professionals around
the globe strive to keep their infrastructures alive and support
employees working from home.
"In
the second quarter of 2020, everybody tried to make everything virtual
and online to provide WFH capabilities, which entailed a lot of changes
to their IT infrastructure. Those changes had to be made
immediately-almost overnight. Things that usually would have taken
months of proper planning had to be implemented almost overnight. What
we've seen now is companies trying to fix the mistakes they made during
those initial implementations. This is quite challenging for IT teams
because budgets are tight right now, so they have to be quite creative
in how they get things done," added Giese.
SolarWinds
is one of the only vendors in the world with such a broad portfolio for
monitoring and managing IT. SolarWinds solutions deliver visibility
through all layers and deployments-including hybrid and multi-cloud
deployments-and help IT professionals simultaneously make sense of data
coming from the network, infrastructure, and applications.
Earlier this year, SolarWinds acquired database monitoring specialist firm SentryOne, a leading technology provider of database performance monitoring and DataOps solutions for Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, and the Microsoft Data Platform. The acquisition will help SolarWinds expand its reach in these markets.
"Across
all industries, companies are using more and more data," said Giese.
"Huge quantities of data are stored in databases, and it's getting
harder and harder for database admins to deal with it. SolarWinds
already has a strong database performance analysis portfolio, and
adding SentryOne makes it a really great addition for us."
The
acquisition of SentryOne complements the SolarWinds on-premises and
cloud-native database management offerings and allows the company to
serve the needs of its mid-market clients while simultaneously ramping
up its offering to larger organizations.
