Company changes Profiler suite to enable better evaluation and affordability, addressing the growing need for management solutions in the small to mid-sized enterprise market
AUSTIN, TX - April 21, 2010 - SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software http://www.solarwinds.com/index.aspx?CMP=PUB-PR-SWI-PRQ210_PROFILER-X-SWHP to more than 90,000 customers worldwide, today announced that it has taken the essential steps to integrate the recently acquired 'Tek-Tools Profiler http://www.solarwinds.com/products/profiler/storage_management/index.aspx?CMP=PUB-PR-SWI-PRQ210_PROFILER-SP-PP suite of products into the Company product portfolio. These updates are designed to make the storage and virtualization management products more accessible to customers of all sizes - companies with 100+ employees - who are increasingly looking for solutions that offer them control and visibility across the entire IT infrastructure.
Typically, comprehensive IT management -from network to applications, and systems to storage - has been a concern for only the largest of enterprises, the Global 2000. As more and more small and mid-sized companies begin to deploy cost-saving IT technologies, like virtualization, and develop business policies that require significant data retention strategies, these companies need solutions that can help them get visibility and control across the stack.
SolarWinds is working to build a suite of solutions that are designed to simplify the task of storage management while also providing the extended visibility needed in today's complex, multi-vendor environments, easily and affordably.
The SolarWinds Profiler suite http://www.solarwinds.com/products/profiler/storage_management/index.aspx?CMP=PUB-PR-SWI-PRQ210_PROFILER-SP-PP adds deeper storage and virtualization management to the SolarWinds portfolio, delivering broader IT management capabilities and increasing IT organizations efficiency and responsiveness.
Availability and Evaluation: The SolarWinds Profiler suite is now available on the SolarWinds website, complete with the product videos, detailed pricing and product information and downloadable product experience that SolarWinds' customers have come to expect from the company.
Product Portfolio: The Profiler products have been consolidated into three offerings - Storage Profiler, Server and Virtualization Profiler and Backup Profiler - to optimize features and usability.
Licensing and Pricing: New product licensing for Storage Profiler is easy to understand and the pricing is straightforward and upfront. SolarWinds now offers disk-based licensing that enables monitoring for most, if not all, storage devices regardless of the vendor. SolarWinds has also lowered the entry price for the Profiler suite.
