Solarwinds Observability

Question

Can we run your products on our server locally or do t hey need to be hosted online? The servers we want to monitor have no internet connection but are connected to us throught a VPN S2S connection.

I would actually look at Hybrid Cloud Observability as that can be run and hosted on-premises. SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability | SolarWinds

Our account rep (for SWO) is giving us the impression it's not going to be offered "soon". We're a huge Orion shop with SAM (half exploited). We are a very legacy on-prem shop - mostly server based still (no microservices), classic 3 tier (J2EE) or dotNet frameworks. Thick database backend - Oracle on SOLARIS. We're only really after a decent APM or Application Observability. The "O" in HCO is I think a misnomer since there are no Observabilty Modules in HCO... the APM Suite is not even an ON-PREM solution set but SaaS based. 
 I guess the messaging on HCO and SWO is confusing - despite a newish YT Video on Solarwinds Platform that I recently stumbled on.

 With SWO - I know it is possible to link existing ORION or HCO to SWO via Platform Connect - but very vague on what other linkages are apart from "Alert Anomaly Detection" which I trust exploits the AI/ML capabilities in SWO. 
 
 So is SWO right for us - for our On-Prem Legacy Infrastructure? Or should we just maintain our ORION/HCO and just subscribe to APM Suite of AppOptics, Loggly and Pingdom? I don;t want to throw away investments on ORION (or HCO)..
