Works well to see performance and generate alerts

We use SolarWinds SAM for monitor physical servers for part of our virtual environments and core network elements. We started to use SAM, because we needed to give visibility to the NOC about alerts and made them proactive to avoid a system failure. We create different alerts in order the notify when some abnormal behavior is happening so they can do the work of Tier1 without problem. After a couple of weeks using SAM we realized that we can exploit other functionalities like forecasting, reporting and application monitor. We actually use SolarWinds to create reports and reporting weekly the health of our infrastructure.
