AUSTIN, Texas – July 13, 2011 – SolarWinds®
(NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, announced today the immediate availability
of SolarWinds Log
& Event Manager (LEM), a new product based on the technology obtained through its
acquisition of TriGeo Network Security, Inc. The new
SolarWinds Log & Event Manager will be available starting at around $4500,
making it one of the most affordable and comprehensive log and event management
offerings available.
“SolarWinds
LEM serves a critical need for IT professionals tasked with managing their companies’
critical IT infrastructure. There are
very few products in this market that offer our unique value proposition: a scalable solution, with a rich and powerful
feature set, great user experience, and a price that makes it accessible to nearly
everyone,” said Suku Krishnaraj, SolarWinds' SVP Product Strategy. “The addition of
log and event management to our product portfolio is a response to the needs of
the IT community for products that actually solve their IT management
problems.”
IT
managers recognize that log management and log analysis are an essential
element of any broad IT management strategy.
While availability and performance continue to be top priorities, system
administrators and network engineers are increasingly tasked with reporting on
compliance as well as security-related responsibilities such as managing user
accounts, setting privileges, enabling file auditing, setting firewall rules,
etc. SolarWinds LEM combines log
management, event correlation and ad hoc search to give IT organizations the
ability to collect large volumes of data from virtually any device on the
network and correlate that data in real-time. IT Professionals can quickly and
easily visualize log data and utilize advanced search features to support:
- Availability
and performance monitoring & troubleshooting – Logs are a rich source of data for
troubleshooting problems, and being able to see logs from multiple sources
around specific incidents is key to solving performance problems for both infrastructure
and applications.
- Compliance
verification – Compliance
with both internal policies and regulatory requirements – such as PCI, HIPAA,
FISMA, and SOX – introduces significant complexity for IT professionals.
Real-time log analysis and event correlation is a critical factor in the
ability to verify compliance and to quickly uncover policy violations.
- Security – From both a
real-time and a forensic perspective, logs provide a rich source of information
on security incidents. Active responses
are a key factor in being able to identify and react to security issues as they
are occurring, not just after the fact.
SolarWinds Log & Event Manager highlights:
- Proactive Log Analysis – Automate
collecting, normalizing and interpreting logs from a wide variety of devices
with real-time log analysis, interactive data visualization and built-in
knowledge.
- Real-time Event Correlation – Correlate
events from the network, systems, applications, virtual machines and storage
infrastructure with nearly 700 built-in correlation rules and a customizable
rule-builder to create and share rules with other IT admins.
- Ad Hoc IT Search – Use a unique Word Cloud, along
with treemaps, bubble charts and histograms to visualize search data and
understand how to take action on it.
- Active Response & Threat Mitigation – Mitigate
threats and take actions like quarantining infected machines, blocking IP
addresses, disabling user accounts, killing unauthorized processes, restarting
services, and more.
