AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 19, 2015) - SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable hybrid IT infrastructure management software, today announced its participation at VMworld US 2015, August 30-September 3, 2015, in San Francisco. At the event, SolarWinds will exhibit its latest solutions for managing virtualized and hybrid IT environments, including new capabilities to help patch virtual systems. In addition, SolarWinds will host its second annual Experts & Espresso event, a series of free morning learning sessions, and Head Geek Thomas LaRock will present alongside VMware and Heraflux Technologies at two database virtualization breakout sessions.

"The virtualized infrastructure is a vital part of many IT shops today, but ensuring that its performance is optimized and understanding its impact on the other components of the stack -- applications, servers and storage -- still eludes many IT pros," said Nikki Jennings, group vice president, products and markets, SolarWinds. "At SolarWinds, we strive to present a single point of truth by bringing key performance data to the surface and visually mapping out object dependencies to help IT pros reduce mean time to resolution, while also providing insight into VM and resource sprawl and capacity planning. VMworld is the ideal place to showcase these capabilities and get vital feedback from our users and the larger virtualization community."
