SolarWinds Product Highlights
The best of both Active Directory worlds
Not only is it essential to know who has access to what within your environment, but it’s also crucial to understand baselines and alerts and whether the supporting Microsoft® Active Directory® (AD) infrastructure is available and performant.

 To properly provision, monitor, and audit changes to AD and Azure® AD, it’s important to have a simple yet comprehensive management process. This includes setting user access, quickly knowing who has access where, and understanding your baselines and alerts to help you get a pulse on what’s happening across your entire AD infrastructure.

 This is where SolarWinds can help: SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager™ (ARM) <https://sw1.solarwinds.com/NTY0LVZGUi0wMDgAAAGGV_VwLtIQrBEkk-OSaq1OHN5tFgJvWXpktQHhUgYAHWyvSb6cTIBUSDRlyVpIPfF1ARTveec=> is designed to quickly help you identify user access and deliver customized AD reports. And SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) <https://sw1.solarwinds.com/NTY0LVZGUi0wMDgAAAGGV_VwLoSJ_DsrjU6mBDzl9JJB36mYFfLyAR8SIPE_DDarkjBxQe6r4wxHXvzOL9tmz5k0ROM=> helps you quickly find and troubleshoot issues with the AD application and its supporting infrastructure. Together, these products can help you streamline hybrid and Azure AD management.

Webcasts
ITSM that’s easy to use and smart. Seriously.
Supporting the business is the goal of every great IT pro. Let us show you how you can do more with information technology service management (ITSM) <https://sw1.solarwinds.com/NTY0LVZGUi0wMDgAAAGGV_VwLv8u87lRwAFDANY4zUqy6s-VWMmWjqPAMR0Sg-sL4dYF6BQ4kiHaTKmY755pRk73Bf0=>.

 ITSM is a collection of IT management processes helping enable your organization to design, deliver, support, and manage IT services. Organizations implementing an ITSM strategy view IT as a service provider focusing on delivering quality services to their businesses and employees.

 ITSM is no longer the domain of only large enterprises. Businesses of all sizes increasingly depend on technology to achieve optimal levels of productivity and efficiency and drive business outcomes and success. Robust ITSM software can help your organization align IT services with business needs while also providing value to your internal customers—employees. SolarWinds ITSM solutions help you deliver exceptional service every day.

 Join our upcoming webcast, where we’ll discuss the benefits of ITSM tools and how they can help your organization.

 Date: August 10, 2022, Wednesday
 Time: 2:00 p.m. SGT / 4:00 p.m. ACT / 11:30 a.m. IST

 Learn in this webcast ITSM benefits, including:

	- Streamlined Communication for Service Delivery: Do away with long and misguided email chains between requesters and service providers.
	- Save Time and Money: Provide solutions as quickly as possible so employees can get back to business.
	- Unified Platform for Seamless Employee Experience: Connect employees to solutions from any department.
	- Work Smarter, Not Harder: Create a better employee experience and more efficient service delivery with artificial intelligence, workflow and ticket automations, and flexible service desk engagement methods like live chat and mobile.
	- 360-Degree View of Service Data: Create harmony in a sea of dissonant data. Use a single platform to track every IT asset, connecting them with incidents, changes, users, and services affecting your organization.

IT Trends Report 2022
Hybrid IT Acceleration Has Increased Network Complexity and Lowered Tech Pros’ Network Management Confidence

The 2022 and our ninth annual IT Trends Report examines the acceleration of digital transformation efforts, its impact on IT departments, and areas of opportunity for technology professionals to best manage it. Running workloads and applications across cloud and on-premises infrastructure can be challenging, and many organizations are increasingly experiencing—and ultimately hindered by—these pain points.

 Two key points we learned from tech pros like you:

	- When we asked how confident they were in their organization’s ability to manage IT complexity:

	- A mere 8% said they felt extremely confident
	- And only 50% were adequately confident

	- While more than half (54%) of tech pro respondents state they leverage monitoring strategies to manage IT complexity, 49% revealed they lack visibility into the majority of their organization’s apps and infrastructure.

The study’s findings are based on a survey fielded in March 2022, which yielded responses from 1,138 technology practitioners, managers, directors, and senior executives from public- and private-sector small, mid-size, and enterprise organizations across North America, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom.

 Download the 2022 IT Trends Report, explore the findings, and peruse insights into the data broken down by region in multiple charts and graphs. And take our online assessment to see how your organization compares.

New features and enhancements in SQL Server 2022
In the era of technology defined by cloud computing, features evolve at the blinding speed of continuous deployment. When large software development organizations deliver semi-annual releases of products, like Microsoft® SQL Server®, the volume of new features can be so large they can be hard to grasp. Microsoft continues to push the boundaries on what’s possible, both in on-premises and cloud data platforms, and they aim to make the life of data professionals much more manageable. The forthcoming release of SQL Server 2022 is no exception. This release of the Microsoft flagship database engine will bring about new features to expand the capabilities of data professionals while increasing its scalability.

 Recalling the earlier days of SQL Server, I used to dread the idea of performing a migration to a new version. Regardless of cool and exciting new features, the pains migrations caused were sometimes cringeworthy. Now, as I look at more recent releases of SQL Server, including SQL Server 2022, the migration path is loaded with new ways and means to get your ecosystem updated and running on the latest releases with ease. Use these new features to convince management to migrate. I assure you it’ll be worth it in the long run.
