“IT is becoming increasingly distributed, being driven in large part by the need for geo-redundant deployments and hybrid IT,” said Gerardo Dada, VP, product marketing, SolarWinds. “At the same time, IT departments are increasingly responsible for managing heterogeneous environments that include both Windows and Linux systems. Some compromise between effectiveness and efficiency by managing such environments with two or more separate toolsets, often leveraging open source tools for monitoring their Linux-based applications. With this update, SolarWinds SAM now empowers IT professionals with the capability to ensure the performance of both Windows- and Linux-based applications and servers—regardless of where they may be may be—with a single tool.”
With new agent-based monitoring for Linux systems, SolarWinds SAM empowers IT professionals with detailed performance metrics and alerting for their Windows and now Linux-based applications deployed in geographically dispersed data centres, remote offices or in the public cloud, including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Rackspace.
In addition, the latest updates make SolarWinds SAM especially helpful in monitoring performance, health and resource utilisation of applications during transitions to the cloud, ensuring the right workloads are hosted where they perform the best and that there is proper resource provisioning to prevent downtime and performance degradation.
While over 80% of application performance issues are database related, many IT departments have inadequate visibility into what happens inside a database, limiting their ability to troubleshoot why a query may be slow or how to improve the speed of a database operation. The latest version of SolarWinds SAM also includes improved integration with SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) to present detailed database wait-time analytics in the context of application, server, virtualisation and storage performance.
Now, when SAM and DPA are used together, database performance data is integrated into the SolarWinds Orion platform’s AppStack environment view. Among other benefits, this enables IT departments to be alerted when a database operation deviates from a historic baseline and informed of the potential impact to specific applications supported by the database. Correlation of database and other systems data can also lead to faster identification of the root cause of the slowdown.
