CORK, IRELAND -- (Marketwired) -- 10/22/14

SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT performance management software, today announced its participation at Microsoft TechEd Europe 2014, 28-31 October 2014, in Barcelona, Spain. At the event, SolarWinds will showcase an integrated suite of end-to-end application and IT infrastructure performance and visibility capabilities that support organizations using the Microsoft portfolio: from SharePoint® to Exchange™ to SQL Server®.

A recent survey by SolarWinds has found that 94 per cent of business end users in the UK believe application performance and availability affects their ability to do their job. These findings are replicated across Europe; 85 per cent of Danes and 84 per cent of Germans surveyed believe application performance and availability affects their ability to do their job.

"Visibility into the performance of converged infrastructures and effective management across the application stack are critical to business success. At SolarWinds, we understand that when there's an application issue, time is of the essence," said Suaad Sait, executive vice president, products and markets, SolarWinds. "We're providing products that give you insight, visibility and understanding from the application layer to the infrastructure, but unlike previous industry approaches, our solution is affordable and intuitive to use making it accessible to IT Pros in both small and medium businesses and Fortune 500® enterprises.
