SolarWinds Opens New Office in Washington, DC Metro Area

SolarWinds opened a new office in the heart of the Dulles Technology Corridor.

“For years, SolarWinds has been helping federal government agencies tackle critical IT management challenges such as increasingly complex networks, perilous cybersecurity threats and restrictive budgets,” said David Kimball, Group VP- Federal, SolarWinds. “Our new office is a testament to our focus on serving the federal government and the contractors that support them. We’ve planted roots, grown our team, and developed critical relationships with federal IT pros to ensure we continue to address their ever-changing challenges and needs.”

To better serve its federal customers, including those in nearly every branch of the DoD and the majority of civilian and intelligence agencies, SolarWinds has opened a new office in Herndon, Virginia at 2250 Corporate Park Drive, Suite 210, which hosts much of the fast-growing company’s federal government team.

Meet the SolarWinds Federal Team and enjoy complimentary appetizers and cocktails at an Open House at the new Herndon office Tuesday, March 3 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. EST. Please RSVP to attend.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...

For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...

Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...

New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...

Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
