AUSTIN, Texas--SolarWinds, a leader in network management software, today announced that SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor (Orion) has won SearchNetworking.com's(TM) prestigious Product Leadership Gold Award in the Network Performance Management category.
The Awards span 12 networking product categories and recognize 35 products that enterprise IT professionals should consider adding to their "A" lists of networking products to evaluate. Winning products were selected by 1,400 networking professionals based on their assessment of products currently deployed within their own enterprises. Participants were asked to evaluate the networking products according to defined product-specific criteria each of which was assigned a weighed value based on importance, with cumulative scores calculated for each product. SearchNetworking.com editors used these scores to determine Gold, Silver and Bronze award winners for the industry's best networking products.
As noted on SearchNetworking.com, "As networks become more complex, carrying more data, services and applications, network management becomes crucial. Tools that can help the networking professional decipher how the network is performing are a valuable ally. Unfortunately, these tools can be difficult to deploy, cumbersome to use and expensive. Orion Network Performance Monitor from SolarWinds breaks the mold of unwieldy software in an easy-to-use product aimed at the mid-market, and handily won our gold award in the network performance management category."
"It is an honor to be named the winner in the 'Product Leadership Award' network performance management category," said Kenny Van Zant, chief product strategist at SolarWinds. "SolarWinds products were developed by network engineers, for network engineers and download, install and deploy in minutes. SolarWinds' unique ability to provide engineers with functionally robust solutions while maintaining ease of use and affordability has a direct correlation to the success SolarWinds is seeing with our mid-market customers. We are pleased to see that SearchNetworking.com readers agree."
