In this exclusive VMblog interview ahead of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 in Atlanta, Peter DiStefano, Director of Product Marketing at SolarWinds, reveals how the company has evolved beyond its legacy roots to deliver a comprehensive observability and service management platform designed for today's complex hybrid and cloud-native environments. Key Topics Covered: Full-Stack Observability Platform DiStefano demonstrates SolarWinds' integrated approach to observability, combining digital experience monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM), database monitoring, network monitoring, and infrastructure visibility in a single platform. The solution supports both cloud-native containerized applications and traditional on-premises infrastructure. AI-Driven Operations Learn about SolarWinds' aggressive AI roadmap, including: Machine learning-powered anomaly detection and root cause analysis Generative AI capabilities like Query Assist for database optimization Agentic AI (launching Q1 2026) that can autonomously diagnose and fix issues MCP framework for seamless vendor integrations Hybrid Cloud Flexibility SolarWinds offers unique deployment flexibility with "flex SKU" pricing that allows customers to toggle between on-premises and SaaS offerings without reimplementation, supporting organizations at any stage of their cloud journey. Operational Resilience The platform combines observability with service management and incident response (including the recently acquired SquadCast) to deliver what SolarWinds calls "operational resilience" - the ability to plan for, react to, and continuously improve from system failures.
