SolarWinds Observability Webcast Series

Growing your business should be cause for celebration, but the accompanying technical complications can make it a headache. The greater the amount of activity on your platform, the more difficult it may become to maintain end-to-end visibility of your digital operations. Without sufficient visibility, frequent software issues can drain resources, erode application performance, and negatively impact user experience. Though it may be temporarily possible to manage performance with multiple point tools, there will eventually come a time when it’s identifying an end-to-end solution is the only viable way of achieving successful business outcomes.

It may seem counterintuitive to consider adding a new product when your digital systems are growing in size and complexity, but the right solution partner can help simplify your digital operations and improve flexibility. By outsourcing observability to tried-and-true expert platforms, companies can free up their teams’ time, away from manual tasks, and reduce the risk of human error. Leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation can help teams identify and resolve issues proactively, allowing your applications to function—and thrive—as promised.

In this webcast from SolarWinds, Mortgage Connect, and ESG, industry experts will review the real-world impacts of SolarWinds® solutions through a case study with Mortgage Connect.

Tune in to hear more about the following:
● How to determine the tipping point of your application performance
● Why observability should play a critical role in your scaling strategy
● The differentiators of SolarWinds products from a real customer perspective

During this webcast, we will discuss how IT organizations are justifying full-stack observability. Digital transformation is making IT operations more complex. To mitigate this, organizations are looking to provide end-to-end oversight and eliminate silos.

Use this webcast as a guide for calculating your Observability ROI and how to:

- Reduce costs by eliminating legacy tools and new point solutions
- Drive infrastructure efficiency by gaining better visibility
- Avoid punitive costs including SLA compliance violations
- Evaluate observability solutions and vendors (and the top 5 things to look for!)
- Leverage existing investment to enable the transition to observability

To stand still is to fall behind when it comes to technology, and this pressure to deliver constant innovation can weigh heavily on IT Ops, DevOps, and AppDev teams. New ESG research shows 99% of these professionals have had to accelerate operations over the last three years, at an average speed increase of 57%. Yet as these application infrastructures grow and scale, it can be increasingly difficult to maintain visibility.

This new degree of complexity can overwhelm your IT Ops, DevOps, and SecOps teams if they don’t have adequate support. A world-class observability solution can do more than just monitor your activity; it can provide end-to-end oversight of all critical business services in a single unified interface. This view helps reduce operational noise and allows teams to pivot from reactive to proactive when it comes to anomaly detection and problem resolution.

In this webcast from SolarWinds and ESG, industry experts will peel back the curtain on the challenges plaguing IT Ops, DevOps, and SecOps and explain how the next generation of observability could be the answer.

Tune in to hear more about the following:
● Why today’s application environments require new observability strategies
● How the SolarWinds® Platform is designed to simplify complexity across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native software as a service (SaaS) solutions
● Why observability is a critical tool in advancing business agility

46% of organizations will increase their spending on application modernization, according to the 2023 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey results. Leveraging Gartner’s Evaluation Framework, we will discuss how to choose the right approach for each application – rehost, replatform, rearchitect, rebuild, and replace. Choosing the right approach is essential. The downside of choosing the wrong approach can result in the following:

* Unforeseen costs
* Poor/slow application delivery
* Minimal business benefits
* Unmaintainable code
* Potentially killing modern application initiatives

Software engineering leaders must establish a clear understanding of each approach. Join us as we dive into recommendations from Gartner's report: How to Choose the Right Approach for Application Modernization and Cloud Migration.

In this webcast, you will learn:

* How to identify issues using the six (6) drivers for modernization.
* Differences in scope, effect, risk, cost, and impact of the five (5) approaches.
* How to choose the right approach for each of your applications.

You can’t manage what you can’t monitor and observe.

IT ecosystem complexity is a part of operating in a hybrid multi-cloud, containerized microservices, digital transformation world, and the complexity is not magically going away.

Join us for our next SolarWinds Day virtual event on March 27, where you’ll experience how SolarWinds is solving what others can’t – abstracting the complexity, increasing visibility, and automating remediation across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native estates.

During the event, you will:   
• Learn how SolarWinds can equip you to monitor and observe your way -- whether inside the firewall, natively in the cloud, or a combination of both.
• See demonstrations covering the latest innovations in our self-hosted and cloud-native monitoring and observability solutions.
• Gain insights to help you and your teams move from reactive to proactive with AIOps.

Register today.

The adoption of containerization and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, has grown quickly as DevOps teams look to build scalable and resilient applications. Container environments consist of many moving parts. For example, in a busy application environment, hundreds of pods, the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes, are continuously being launched and decommissioned.

In this complex and dynamic environment, monitoring the health of your application infrastructure and troubleshooting issues can quickly become challenging. Between resource allocation issues that can cause pod eviction events, an unexpected termination scenario due to a spot instance availability, or CrashLoopBackOff errors arising from missing dependency that results in repeated failed launches; the sheer scale and complexity of a Kubernetes-back application requires more than standard monitoring and alerting to ensure optimal performance and health.

Join SolarWinds as we discuss how SolarWinds Observability provides single-pane of glass monitoring of your infrastructure and applications to provide you with visibility across complex Kubernetes workloads deployed across a multi-layered stack of AWS or Azure cloud services. We will demonstrate how SolarWinds Observability can:

• Detect a failing Kubernetes pod using pod health and performance metrics
• Detect resource allocation issues such as CPU and memory utilization using threshold alerting
• Connect user-facing availability and latency issues to node and cluster-level health metrics
• Monitor Kubernetes cluster, node, and pod-level performance metrics over time to optimize performance.
