[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]SolarWinds® (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, announced today that it is introducing two new file transfer management offerings, SolarWinds FTP Voyager and SolarWinds Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server, that answer the IT community's need for easy to use, purpose-built software that addresses the everyday challenges they face, without breaking the bank. SolarWinds acquired these products as part of its purchase of Rhino Software (RhinoSoft) this week.
The movement and transfer of sensitive company materials and business-critical information present a particularly challenging scenario for SolarWinds' users and IT pros. Currently, they find themselves trapped between expensive, per seat licensed products that strap already dwindling IT budgets, and a wild, wild west environment where security and compliance are compromised by employees using any service they can find to transfer data.
With this product release, SolarWinds believes that it can commoditize another space within IT management and deliver a truly useful and affordable set of services that make IT pros' very complex jobs easier.
“By adding FTP Voyager and Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server products to the SolarWinds portfolio, we are once again responding to our users‘ demands with easy to use, easy to afford, feature-rich solutions to their everyday problems,” said Kevin Thompson, President and CEO, SolarWinds. “We do not believe that IT pros should be forced to take the lesser of two evils -- exorbitant costs associated with per seat services, or compromised security and compliance. We want IT pros to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing they can meet their company’s needs without sacrifice.”
