Periodic installation review - by Solarwinds engineers

One of the terms used heavily in the industry is Best Practice. Even the most diligent among us can use an additional set of eyes.

I think a great service that Solarwinds could offer would be a periodic - maybe quarterly, annually, semi-annually - service to spend an hour or two working with a Solarwinds Engineer to review all aspects of you installation. Looking over configurations, suggesting tweaks, verifying that everything is working at peak efficiency, etc. We have that with other products, and of course it is at an additional cost - but that could be wrapped in the maintenance renewals. Priced right it would be easy to justify.

    Short Story - Production alerting is not sufficient and needs updating ASAP

    Our division has 'organically' grown from several local internal systems to a very complex, globally dispersed ecosystems with public facing production systems that are utilized by 75% of Fortune 500 companies. As we have grown we have gradually added SolarWinds products to address increasing needs of visibility and reporting but have not done so in staged or organized manner. Now we are getting to crisis mode continually and need to have a discussion on building our monitoring/alerting story from ground up.

      Identifying holes and determining what are the best tools to use is becoming more challenging with more critical systems and more SW tools and determining which is the best approach.
