Upgrade of SolarWinds Application Centric Monitor ACM250 to ACM500 (up to 500 nodes) - License Upgrade (Maintenance expires on same day as existing license)

SolarWinds Application-Centric Monitor (ACM) monitors your applications, web-based transactions, and their supporting infrastructure, whether they are running on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment. Don’t let slow applications and downtime impact your end-users and business services. Pinpoint the root cause of application issues across various layers of the IT stack. Scale as needed with additional polling engines that allow you to monitor your enterprise-level systems environment. Automatically discover your applications’ environment and start monitoring in typically an hour no professional services or consultation required.

• Monitor your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid application environment from one tool.
• Monitoring templates for 1,200+ enterprise applications and systems.
• Accelerate problem identification and resolution with cross-stack IT data correlation.
• Visualize the communication-based relationships between applications and servers to discover network issues that slow down your applications.
• Isolate root cause of issues by visualizing application relationship with underlying infrastructure layers.
• Perform synthetic transaction monitoring for internal and external web application performance troubleshooting.
• Monitor applications in the cloud via an agent, agentless, or the cloud provider’s APIs.
• Monitor server hardware and cloud instance health, perform capacity forecasting, and manage asset inventory.
• Record and proactively troubleshoot end-user experience for web-based applications.
• Record and replay complex, multi-step web transactions without scripting.
• With ACM built on the Orion Platform, you can scale to monitor hundreds of thousands of applications and servers, and poll across multiple locations with scalability engines to improve performance.

Features:

• Application Availability and Performance Monitoring:

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) supports monitoring over 200 enterprise applications right out of the box, including Windows, Linux, Java, Active Directory, SharePoint, Citrix, Office 365® Exchange™, and more. You can easily extend monitoring to any custom or home-grown applications and leverage your existing scripts to build new monitors.

• Application Infrastructure Dependency Mapping:

The built-in AppStack™ dashboard gives you a contextual view of how applications are linked to other components within the IT infrastructure, including servers, virtual machines, and storage systems. Easily visualize application dependencies across various layers of the IT stack to help discover the root cause of application issues.

• Accelerate Problem Identification and Resolution with Cross-Stack IT Data Correlation

Whether you are looking at network interface utilization, application performance counters, VM host memory utilization, or storage IOPS, the PerfStack™ dashboard lets you compare these data types side by side. Simply drag and drop the metrics of interest to the chart, and the PerfStack dashboard will overlay them for easy correlation and performance analysis in real-time.

• Monitor Cloud Applications:

SolarWinds SAM is an agentless software that you can use to monitor applications, servers, and your virtual infrastructure on-premises. The optional agent deployment extends monitoring to the cloud, such as Amazon EC2® , Microsoft® Azure® , and Rackspace® . The agent also helps monitor servers in remote locations (DMZ, behind NAT/firewall, over WAN, satellite connection, etc.), where agentless polling would be difficult.

• Connection Link Details:

SolarWinds SAM helps you determine when any application slowdown is caused by the application itself or a problem in your network infrastructure. SAM automatically discovers the relationships between applications and servers, based on active application communication, and collects network connection statistics, such as packet loss and latency. You can monitor the flow of data between applications, processes, and nodes, and discover any network-related issue before it escalates and influence your end-users.

• Deep Monitoring of Microsoft Exchange, IIS, and SQL Server:

The built-in AppInsight™ monitoring templates deliver deep visibility to help you identify complex performance issues in Microsoft Exchange, IIS™, and SQL Server® .

• Exchange: View mailbox database status and storage, identify replication issues, and monitor user mailbox activity.
• IIS: Monitor availability of websites and application pools, report SSL certificate expiration, and perform remote actions to start/stop application pools.
• SQL Server: Monitor connections, sessions, database transactions, disk I/O, storage, latches, locks, SQL agent job status, expensive queries by CPU time, and more.

• Server Performance Monitoring:

Help ensure peak server performance by monitoring key performance metrics of your multivendor server infrastructure, including HP, Dell, IBM, and more.

• Monitor availability, response time, and hardware health of multi-vendor physical and virtual servers.
• Track CPU, memory, and disk usage, and forecast when capacity will run out.
• Remotely remediate server issues, including terminating runaway processes, starting/stopping services, rebooting servers, etc.

• Server Volume Monitoring and Capacity Planning:

Monitor server storage volumes, disk usage, and capacity metrics out of the box. Integration with SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) provides deeper insight to troubleshoot storage issues in SAN and NAS environments.

• Built-in Virtualization Monitoring:

Alongside physical servers, monitor health and availability of VMware and Hyper-V virtual hosts and guests. SolarWinds SAM helps you identify if an application issue is due to the virtual environment or another part of your environment. Integration with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN) provides deeper insight to troubleshoot virtualization issues.

• IT Asset Inventory Management:

Administrators can now maintain a centralized view of current hardware and software asset inventory to include server warranty status, driver software, hard drive inventory, and custom properties such as PO number and purchase price.

• Correlated Alerts and Performance Reporting:

Get actionable information at the right time with advanced alerting, expert advice, and an easy to-use web interface. Focus your attention on real problems with intelligent alerts based on parent and child dependencies and baseline data. Quickly configure alerts for correlated events, sustained conditions, and complex combinations of device states. In addition, get access to over 100 web-based reports that are ready to use and easy to customize and share.

• Monitor Internal, SaaS-Based, and Customer-Facing Web Apps:

Easily monitor web applications such as CRM, ERP, HR, supply chain, help desk, intranet, etc. Because Web Performance Monitor is installed within your firewall, monitoring an internal company website is designed to be secure, and no agents are required.

• API/Web Service/SaaS Application Performance:

Modern web applications connect to third-party applications for added functionality. With SolarWinds website-monitoring software, you can quickly recognize if web services are causing a slow user experience.

• Troubleshoot With Detailed Load Time Metrics:

Use TCP waterfall charts to quickly identify what page elements are taking the most time to load. Monitor website elements such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript® , images, etc., as well as their overall performance and load metrics. Get notified if images are not matching and for incomplete or slow transactions that affect app performance.

• Easy-to-Use Transaction Recorder:

Quickly and easily record complex, multi-step transactions with no scripting involved. Web Performance Monitor is flexible and lets you monitor transactions from wherever you want, including locations within your firewall or from your Amazon EC2 instances.

• Enterprise Scalability:

With ACM built on the Orion® Platform, you can easily scale to monitor hundreds of thousands of elements, and poll across multiple pollers and locations to improve performance. ACM already includes as many additional polling engines as you need to cover all elements in your systems environment.
