Orion Platform This powerful platform makes it easy to monitor, analyze, and manage the complete IT stack in one place.

Why the SolarWinds Orion Platform?

The SolarWinds® Orion® Platform is a powerful, scalable infrastructure monitoring and management platform designed to simplify IT administration for on-premises, hybrid, and software as a service (SaaS) environments in a single pane of glass.

There’s no need to struggle with multiple incompatible point monitoring products, as the Orion Platform consolidates the full suite of monitoring capabilities into one platform with cross-stack integrated functionality.

  • Unified Data
  • Hybrid IT
  • Device/Network Insight
  • Workflow Integrations
  • Product Integrations

  • Unified Data

    Customers today shouldn’t have to deal with a collection of spreadsheets, incompatible tools, swivel-chair management, and overpriced products and deployment services. The SolarWinds Orion Platform can help conquer your infrastructure monitoring and management by offering superior tool consolidation for your environment while providing unique integrated functionalities, allowing customers to join the dots and solve problems with accuracy and speed at an affordable price.

  • Hybrid IT

    The IT landscape is evolving rapidly with applications, services, and infrastructure both on-premises and in the cloud. Applications, which run on-premises today, may move to the cloud in the near future. How can you keep up with all this change? The Orion Platform and many of its modules can monitor entities on-premises and in the cloud. It can also be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or a mix. The Orion Platform evolves with the latest IT trends.

  • Device/Network Insight

    Networks today often contain complex hardware not well covered by standard monitoring tools. The SolarWinds Network Insight™ feature in the Orion Platform simplifies the management of complex network devices such as Cisco ASA firewalls, Cisco Nexus gear, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and F5 BIG-IP by providing the right information for each device’s unique role in the network.

  • Workflow Integrations

    A key benefit for all the modules installed on the SolarWinds Orion Platform is being able to benefit from a common set of shared services offered by the platform. This allows better availability, insight, and faster problem resolution with common services such as high availability, consolidated alerts, and a consolidated message center. The platform can also be scaled out to meet business growth demands.

  • Product Integrations

    One of the goals of the SolarWinds Orion Platform is to allow customers to see the big picture across the complete IT stack. A key part of this is providing smart integrations between several of the modules on the platform and approaching issues from different angles. This facilitates connected use cases for connected problems. Additionally, integrations to native SolarWinds Orion Platform products such as in the database layer broadens the field of view.
