The SolarWinds Cloud product family gives IT Pros, DevOps, developers, website and Web application owners the ability to solve a specific problem or use a combination of integrated products to manage availability and uptime; optimize performance; and monitor costs. The portfolio of tools provides full stack application performance visibility all the way from an end user's perspective to the underlying infrastructure.

While federal IT pros still face many barriers during procurement, deployment and implementation of new technology, over 90 percent of respondents said their agencies' end-users were negatively affected by performance or availability issues with mission-critical technology in the last year.

Applications are increasingly elemental to business operations, and their performance and fast response time is thus essential to any organization's success. The current set of application performance management (APM) tools focuses on app code, largely ignoring the database, yet in a 2014 Gleanster survey on APM, 88 percent of respondents cited the database as their most common challenge with app performance.

"The SolarWinds Cork team is honored by the Cork Chamber's recognition -- it means a great deal to us," said David Owens, senior vice president finance and operations, international, SolarWinds. "The award reflects the tremendous effort and commitment of all of our employees and signifies a major milestone in our ongoing, long-term investment in Cork and the Cork community. We look forward to many more years building our company's footprint here and continuing this relationship with the Cork Chamber."

Key Findings

"Applications and the supporting IT infrastructure are the center of every business. When those applications and systems are slow and when access is not available, productivity comes to a halt, revenue opportunities are lost -- businesses suffer. As such, IT pros cannot afford to continue trying to resolve application issues within disconnected silos," said Nikki Jennings, Group Vice President, Systems Management Products, SolarWinds. "With these latest releases and the addition of the AppStack dashboard capability across our core systems management solutions, SolarWinds provides IT pros unparalleled top-to-bottom visibility of the application delivery chain -- including storage, servers, virtualization, cloud, the Web and more -- to better identify, prioritize and resolve application issues."

"As IT departments experience ever-increasing pressure to secure their environments, they also face new threats and an uphill battle to acquire the resources necessary to mitigate them," said Chris LaPoint, group vice president of product management, SolarWinds. "Most IT Pros don't have the time to manually configure security monitoring or become experts in specific systems before implementation, so they need quick access to accurate, actionable data to better protect their environments and prevent security incidents. With enhanced usability that makes SIEM implementation, configuration and threat notification quick and seamless, SolarWinds LEM helps take some of the security weight off IT Pros' shoulders."

"When we started talking with SolarWinds, it became clear that we share a common vision," said Fred van den Bosch, CEO and co-founder of Librato. "We have built one of the industry's most powerful hosted monitoring platforms with the flexibility to adapt to any use case. This creates a unique opportunity with SolarWinds' extensive range of infrastructure management products. By joining forces, we expect to be able to continue our journey at an accelerated pace."
