SolarWinds Snaps Up Network Monitoring Vendor

Network management software maker SolarWinds this week agreed to acquire ipMonitor Corp., incorporating the vendor's Web-based discovery, monitoring, and reporting technology into its product lines.

IpMonitor makes a product of the same name which tracks and reports on the status of critical technology resources, including enterprise applications, services, and devices. The solution is designed to give network managers a quick and accurate view of the availability of network resources, SolarWinds said. The 3-year-old spin-off of DeepMetrix presently has 5,000 customers, according to SolarWinds.

Terms of SolarWinds' acquisition of privately held ipMonitor were not disclosed.
