THWACK MONTHLY MISSION- OCTOBER 2016

It’s official. Summer is now in the rearview mirror (if you’re living in the Northern Hemisphere) and you’ve most likely bid farewell to the swimsuit, the sandals, and some of that carefree summer spirit. The days are getting shorter and the glow of the sun will soon be replaced by the illumination of your monitor—signaling the return of that workday routine where a looming list of updates and urgent alerts pile up…

*Record scratch*

Hold up a sec, who said monitoring apps & servers has to feel like so much work you can never escape? Where’s that break when you need it? It’s time to take off for Destination Automation where SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor will show you how to kick back and live the automated life. Take in the view from your console as advanced monitoring and effortless resource discovery let you relax and bask in your proactive landscape.

Ready to dive in and find that happy place? Start the mission and discover NEW Windows, Linux, and Hybrid monitoring all in one powerful tool!
