What is an enterprise operations console?
An enterprise operations console is a centralized platform that consolidates monitoring data, alerts, dashboards, and reporting from multiple distributed IT environments into a single enterprise-wide view. SolarWinds® Enterprise Operations Console (EOC) collects performance data from up to 100 SolarWinds sites for unified visibility across geographically distributed networks.

Enterprise monitoring capabilities at scale
Consolidate monitoring across geographically distributed SolarWinds deployments into a single command center for enterprise IT infrastructure monitoring without switching between separate instances.
See real-time status across every remote site
View the real-time status of any entity or group from all your remote SolarWinds instances in a fully customizable, tile-based Enterprise Summary View. Spot problems across locations in seconds and drill through to the source site for detailed troubleshooting.
- Customizable tile-based status views across up to 100 sites
- Top five alerts ordered by frequency per entity group
- Acknowledge alerts directly from the enterprise console
Generate global reports across all your locations
Generate standardized global reports across your distributed deployments without manually pulling data from individual sites. Create custom reports tailored to different locations and teams, or deploy immediately using over 40 out-of-the-box templates for consistent enterprise IT monitoring.
- Over 40 prebuilt report templates
- Customizable enterprise-wide reporting engine
- Import reports from connected SolarWinds sites
Visualize your environment with custom enterprise maps
Quickly view health and performance status across networks with map-based visualizations of topology, connectivity, and performance. Customize enterprise-wide maps, view status and connections, and drill down for more detail with nested maps for faster root cause analysis.
- Build custom global maps or display maps generated on connected remote SolarWinds sites.
- Add maps to any view or dashboard with the Orion Maps widget
- View how the environment changes over time with Time Travel
Find any monitored asset across your enterprise in seconds
Leverage integrated search and the built-in Asset Explorer to accelerate troubleshooting across all connected sites. Search and filter monitored devices or elements globally without switching between separate SolarWinds instances, so your team can pinpoint issues faster.
- Built-in Asset Explorer for global device search
- Seamless click-through to remote sites for immediate troubleshooting
- Filter by site, entity type, or custom property
Standardize metadata across all distributed deployments
Manage custom properties for remote SolarWinds sites from a centralized location. Consolidate local properties with identical attributes into a single global property, so your teams can apply consistent metadata across the enterprise without updating each site individually.
- Create and manage global custom properties from EOC
- Consolidate local properties into global properties
- Maintain consistent metadata across all deployments

Enterprise operations console FAQ
How many SolarWinds sites can EOC manage?
How many SolarWinds sites can EOC manage?
EOC has been successfully tested with up to 100 SolarWinds sites and a total of 2 million elements across all connected instances. System requirements scale with the number of monitored sites: fewer than 60 sites require a quad-core processor with 16 GB RAM, while 60 to 100 sites require an octa-core processor with 32 GB RAM. Latency between the EOC server and connected sites should be under 100 ms in both directions for optimal performance.
Does EOC require NPM to run?
Does EOC require NPM to run?
EOC does not require Network Performance Monitor specifically, but it does require at least one SolarWinds Platform instance to connect to. EOC is an add-on product that aggregates data from multiple SolarWinds Platform deployments, which can include NPM, SAM, NCM, NTA, IPAM, and other Orion modules. EOC connects to any SolarWinds site running on a supported version of the SolarWinds Platform. You cannot install EOC on the same server as other SolarWinds Platform products — it requires its own independent server.
What does EOC monitor?
What does EOC monitor?
EOC compiles current status information, alerts, events, syslog, and traps from all entities at each connected SolarWinds site. It pulls high-level data including node, volume, and interface status, application monitoring data, NetFlow summaries, and custom properties. EOC does not store historical performance data or poll network devices directly — each connected site retains its own database and polling engine. When you click an entity in EOC, you are redirected to the source SolarWinds site for detailed investigation and historical analysis.
Can EOC support hybrid and cloud environments?
Can EOC support hybrid and cloud environments?
Yes, it can. EOC connects to any SolarWinds site running on a supported version of the SolarWinds Platform, it aggregates data from sites that monitor AWS, Azure, and GCP resources. Since each connected site polls its own environment locally, EOC provides consolidated visibility across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-monitored infrastructure. This makes it well suited for organizations with distributed data centers, regional IT teams, or mixed on-prem and cloud estates that need a single command center for enterprise IT infrastructure monitoring.
What is the difference between EOC and SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted?
What is the difference between EOC and SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted?
SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted is the full monitoring platform that bundles network, server, application, and cloud monitoring capabilities into a single deployment. EOC is a separate add-on product that aggregates data from multiple SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted instances into one consolidated view. If you have a single SolarWinds Platform deployment, you do not need EOC. EOC is designed for distributed deployments where multiple SolarWinds Platform servers operate independently across regions, business units, or acquired companies and need to be rolled up into a central command center.
How does EOC impact WAN performance between sites?
How does EOC impact WAN performance between sites?
EOC is designed to have minimal impact on WAN performance. It does not continuously copy all monitoring data from each SolarWinds Site into the EOC database. Each connected site polls its own network devices locally and stores data in its own database. Instead of pulling data on a set polling interval, EOC utilizes SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) Federation to execute live, on-demand queries only when a user views a dashboard.
For best performance, SolarWinds recommends keeping latency between EOC and connected sites below 100 ms round trip. EOC can remain functional at higher latency—testing showed it worked at up to 500 ms—but response times, particularly for reports, may degrade.
