Also, the approach to effectively use this tool?

This is how SolarWinds  can help for assessing 1000 servers and 300 network devices:

1. Inventory and Discovery:
   • Use Network Performance Monitor (NPM) and Network Configuration Manager (NCM) to discover and inventory devices.
2. Performance Monitoring:
   • Set up Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and NPM to monitor performance metrics like uptime and resource usage.
3. Configuration Management:
   • Use NCM to manage and back up device configurations, ensuring compliance.
4. Health and Diagnostics:
   • Utilize SolarWinds Observability for a comprehensive view of infrastructure health.
5. Reporting and Alerts:
   • Set up automated reports and alerts to keep stakeholders informed.

Please see NPM details. You can view all features to see everything NPM can do:
