SolarWinds MSP, of Durham, N.C.,††has released a new edition of its SolarWinds†N-central RMM platform offering delayed automatic patch approvals, improved monitoring and remote connectivity for Linux†operating systems, and updated hover-over status icons for improved dashboard visibility.†
Officially announced yesterday, version 11.1 of SolarWinds†N-central allows users to:
- Support Linux operating systems via a new Ubuntu†agent designed to make discovering, monitoring, and remotely controlling Linux devices simple for technicians.
- Add delays to automatic patch approvals, so administrators can test patches and ensure they won’t impede application availability before rolling them out broadly.
- View hover-over icons on pop-up menus to see more information regarding service status without opening multiple tabs.
“Our N-central platform, which is trusted by thousands of successful managed service providers across the world, offers users an industry-leading, single-pane-of-glass solution for the complete oversight and organization of a customers’ IT network,” said Greg Lissy, vice president of product management at SolarWinds MSP, in prepared remarks. “The new features support our goal to help IT service providers get the job done easier and faster, drive profits, and improve the customer experience. It’s closed the gap in dashboard visibility, patch management, and Linux devices for our customers.”
Based on software SolarWinds acquired along with N-able Technologies in 2013, SolarWinds N-central is the on-premises RMM component of the managed services product portfolio Solarwinds MSP formally introduced last October. The vendor also makes a†software-as-a-service RMM solution named MSP Remote Monitoring & Management that’s derived from a system it acquired last June through its purchase of managed service software maker LOGICnow.
