AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - September 15, 2009) - SolarWinds® (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful, simple and affordable network management software to more than 85,000 customers worldwide, today announced that NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of cloud computing business management software suites, uses SolarWinds' Orion® family of network management solutions to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot an IT network that supports nine global locations and serves nearly 1,000 employees.

"We depend on our networks to support NetSuite's thousands of customers worldwide to manage their key business operations," said John Menerick, NetSuite Security Systems Administrator. "SolarWinds helps NetSuite maintain compliance goals while allowing our employees to focus on critical business issues."

SolarWinds Orion and NetSuite

SolarWinds' flagship Orion family of management solutions offers network managers a comprehensive and easy-to-understand view of their network's health -- from fault and performance, to configuration, application performance and IP address management. Users can view the real-time statistics and availability of their network from any Web browser, providing a convenient way for administrators to stay in tune with their networks at any time, from anywhere.

Prior to adopting SolarWinds' Orion products, NetSuite used network management applications built in-house that were becoming resource-intensive.

"We needed a solution that would give us the most bang for our buck," said Menerick. "There is no need to handhold SolarWinds' software. The products are an incredible value and continually exceed expectations."

NetSuite deployed SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM), Orion Netflow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), and Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) as part of its overall network management strategy.

--  Orion NPM combined with Orion NTA allows NetSuite's IT team to analyze
    flow data to deliver a more complete picture of network traffic,
    identifying which users, applications, and protocols are consuming the most
    network bandwidth. The team gains greater insight into their environments,
    can review historical views and quickly gather information to make
    intelligent business decisions.
--  The company uses Orion NCM to monitor and alert on changes to its
    network hardware's configuration files -- identifying correlations between
    those changes and network events, thereby improving uptime and overall
    network performance.
    

"If colleagues of mine or companies with network management needs haven't already considered SolarWinds, I would tell them to take a look. I'm amazed at what they offer compared to their competitors," said Menerick.
