Modernization and Consolidation
Basic steps

@solarwinds 19
Gather Device, Utilization, and Dependency Data
• Network Performance Monitor (NPM) discovers network devices and computers and
offers capacity planning
• NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) monitors network traffic, bandwidth utilization, and
throughput, and analyzes network traffic patterns
• Network Configuration Manager (NCM) helps obtain and maintain device data, tracks
which network devices are operating and their locations, and includes lifecycle
management reports
• Server & Application Monitor (SAM) discovers applications, creates dependency maps,
monitors server utilization, and creates an asset inventory
• User Device Tracker (UDT) monitors connected devices, discovers and stores MAC
addresses that are connected to your network, and maintains histories
• AppStack maps application dependencies to underlying server, virtualization, storage, and
database layers

@solarwinds 20
Network Modernization
• Network modernization requires manual planning, based on priorities and budgets
• NCM backs up device configurations, automates configuration change management, and
leverages baselines to increase compliance
• NetPath (NPM feature) provides critical path visualization for on-premises, hybrid, and
cloud services

@solarwinds 21
• Server and data center consolidation requires manual planning, based on existing plans,
priorities, and budgets
• Virtualization Manager (VMAN) provides virtual machine capacity planning
• Virtual machine (VM) resource planning
• Run what-if modeling scenarios
• Optimize VM placement
Server and Data Center Consolidation

@solarwinds 22
Improve Compliance
• NCM produces FISMA and DISA STIGs reports from configuration templates, produces
audit documentation and reports, and can be used to configure security controls
• Security Event Manager (SEM) produces FISMA and DISA STIGs compliance reports from
templates, monitors effectiveness of security controls, and produces audit documentation
and reports
• Patch Manager (PM) automates patching of Microsoft® and third-party applications to
help improve compliance

@solarwinds 23
SolarWinds is all about infrastructure performance monitoring and troubleshooting
Monitor Infrastructure for Impacts and Start Next Phase
• NPM provides comprehensive network fault monitoring and performance management
• SAM provides comprehensive server monitoring software for Microsoft applications,
systems, hypervisor, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services
• VMAN provides comprehensive VM monitoring, performance management, capacity
planning, and optimization
• NetPath (NPM feature) provides critical path visualization for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud
services
• PerfStack (Orion Platform feature) accelerates problem identification with cross-stack IT data
correlation and visualization
• Gather updated network and server utilization data to verify assumptions and adjust plans
before proceeding to the next phase
