SolarWinds Virtualization Manager

Virtualization Manager (VMAN) delivers comprehensive virtualization monitoring for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, and AWS cloud instances with multi-hypervisor alerting, automated VM-to-host mapping, and the Sprawl dashboard for snapshot management and orphan VMDK identification. VMAN includes active and predictive Recommendations to optimize resource allocation, capacity planning, vSAN support, time travel for historical config data, and PerfStack correlation.

SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor

Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) provides visibility into configuration changes on Windows servers and applications over time, helping IT teams correlate configuration drift to performance issues. SCM detects changes on nodes, registry edits, file modifications, software installations, and script-based config changes through customizable agent-based monitoring, with alerting, performance correlation through the SolarWinds Platform, and historical change tracking with SAM.

SolarWinds Patch Manager

Patch Manager extends Microsoft WSUS and SCCM environments with pre-built, pre-tested third-party patch packages for common applications including Adobe Acrobat, Apple, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Oracle Java, Foxit, Notepad++, Opera, Citrix Receiver, and Dameware Mini Remote Control. Patch Manager simplifies patching across tens of thousands of servers and workstations with PackageBoot before-after deployment actions, Custom Package Wizard for MSI and EXE files, and patch compliance reporting.

Sprawl Control & Rightsizing

Virtualization Manager actively combats VM sprawl through automated identification of oversized VMs, idle VMs, orphaned VMDK files, stale snapshots, and underutilized hosts across VMware and Hyper-V environments. The Recommendations engine analyzes historical performance data and provides actionable rightsizing recommendations to reclaim virtual resources, cut hardware costs, and optimize CPU, memory, network, and storage capacity through predictive modeling for current and future workloads.

WSUS, SCCM & Compliance Reporting

Patch Manager works with existing Microsoft WSUS infrastructure to extend its third-party patching capabilities, while integrating with Microsoft SCCM/ConfigMgr to extend the SCCM console with pre-built third-party update catalogs, eliminating SCUP requirements. Patch Manager delivers comprehensive patch compliance reporting with over 100 report definitions, scheduled report delivery, top 10 missing patch dashboards, and audit-ready compliance documentation for regulated industries.
