Cloud adoption continues to gain momentum around the world as businesses look to use more emerging technologies in their operations. The agility and scalability of the cloud are the main reasons why its adoption has increased in recent times, with affordable pricing opportunities also a contributing factor.
A recent report from Gartner also showed that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is estimated to grow by 20.4% in 2022 to a total of US $ 494.7 billion, from US $ 410.9 billion in 2021. In 2023, end-user spending is expected to reach nearly $ 600 billion.
While the public cloud has become a cheaper and preferred option, the hybrid cloud is becoming the preferred choice of organizations, especially those dealing with sensitive data. And here businesses need to make sure they have enough visibility tools to monitor and secure their data.
Furthermore, as organizations modernize their operations, applications, and databases and use hybrid and multi-cloud deployment, many still support existing, traditional workloads and systems. Organizations managing this complex, diverse, and distributed environment have accumulated a variety of monitoring and management tools into different teams.
But having multiple management tools can lead to having ITOps, DevOps, and SecOps teams receive excessive alerts and separate analytics as well as having difficulty accessing the actionable insights they need to quickly. to identify, prioritize, and resolve business-critical services issues. These diverse tools can also be difficult to implement and manage, and they can be costly to maintain and measure, creating operational and business risks.
Cloud complexities have proven to be a common problem for most organizations today. Rapid acceleration in the cloud could have empowered business continuity and enhanced productivity. However, complications can still arise in the long run.
One way to deal with these complexities is to have a unified management platform. As a result, SolarWinds announced the launch of SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, built on the SolarWinds Platform. The SolarWinds Platform offers organizations of any size the ability to accelerate their digital transformation efforts by providing a comprehensive and unified view of today’s modern, distributed, and hybrid network environment.
With an integrated, comprehensive, and cost-effective full-stack solution designed to provide end-to-end service delivery management and component dependencies, SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability helps organizations who move from reactive to proactive IT postures as they meet the challenges of today’s hybrid IT realities.
With Hybrid Cloud Observability, tech pros get single-pane-of-glass monitoring with actionable intelligence to speed up problem solving and enable proactive management. SolarWinds applies built-in intelligence and AIOps to its full-stack solution. The platform was developed to help organizations continuously improve performance, availability, security, and digital experience in complex, diverse, and distributed hybrid and cloud environments.
For Rohini Kasturi, chief product officer, SolarWinds, the level of IT complexity facing organizations is growing at an unprecedented scale due to tool proliferation, rising costs, security threats, and siled operation.
“Customers have clearly told us, that they need help to meet today’s challenges and reduce operational noise so that their teams can more quickly meet the wide range of business needs, maximize budget results, and drive business results, ”Kasturi said.

According to Aravind Kurapati, Director of Asia Pacific, and Japan (APJ) at SolarWinds, the platform can also be integrated into existing cybersecurity solutions deployed by organizations. For example, users can ingest events and logs from various solutions and visualize, report, and alert to this data.
Additionally, SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability enables organizations of all sizes and industries to gain fast assessment time, ensure service levels, speed up issue resolution, and reduce stress and risk of alert. It is designed to help organizations do three main things.
First, organizations will be able to expedite issue resolution using actionable intelligence. The platform’s full-stack and integrated coverage helps IT teams make faster and smarter, coordinated, and effective decisions. Users can easily discover, map, and understand dependencies to predict and prevent user experience degradation and loss of service.
“The ability to expedite the resolution of the issue with actionable intelligence is now partially automated and we are working towards improving it further as we move forward. For example, SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability can automatically open tickets to an ITSM solution such as our SolarWinds Service Desk or ServiceNow with relevant details of issues, ”Kurapati explained.
Next, organizations can ensure service levels to increase IT efficiency and business agility. The platform helps teams meet service levels and better perform problem solving, configuration, reporting, and planning tasks, providing time to focus on more impactful activities to advance the business. . With relevant intelligence, teams can better identify, prioritize, and resolve problems and anomalies, reduce compliance and attack surface risks, and accurately determine where to best measure performance and capacity.
Finally, organizations can benefit from low cost of ownership. Businesses are having centralized management to optimize on-premise and cloud resource costs with a unified solution designed to simplify and enhance cloud migration efforts. The suite approach enables organizations to initiate and extend Hybrid Cloud Observability across hybrid and cloud environments with unified experience, deployment, scalability, and support.
