SolarWinds (SWI)

AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/19/10 --
SolarWinds?? (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of
powerful, simple and affordable network management software to
more than 88,000 customers worldwide, today announced its first Geek Speak Webcast of the year, "Top Things to
Plan for in Your 2010 Network Management Strategy," hosted by Josh
Stephens, SolarWinds' Head Geek.

During the Webcast, the Head Geek will discuss the top three things he
believes every network engineer should plan for to be successful in 2010:

--  Truly know your network -- Understand where you have bottlenecks,
    single points of failure and limited management visibility.
--  Distributed management technologies -- Understand how network
    performance differs when measured from different points throughout the
    network and how to gather those measurements.
--  Virtualization in the network -- The virtual servers you saw in 2009
    are multiplying and being joined by virtual switches and firewalls and
    virtual storage. Planning for this additional virtualization will be a key
    component of your success in 2010.
    

"Top Things to Plan for in Your 2010 Network Management Strategy" will be
available online to watch on Thursday, January 21 at 2 p.m. GMT / 9 a.m.
EST / 8 a.m. CDT / 6 a.m. PST or on Friday, January 22 at 6 p.m. GMT / 1
p.m. EST / noon CDT / 10 a.m. PST.
