With many MSP's using Solarwinds Orion to offer network monitoring to their clients and with my colleagues and I at Loop1 Systems having worked in many such environments, I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the challenges and best practices we have learned from such deployments. For example, there are a number of ways of achieving connectivity to each network alongside bandwidth and latency considerations as well as overlapping IP space and availability of the monitoring platform, there are multiple facets to consider prior to deploying such a solution.
If you want to know more about what we have learned, from creating cookie cutter views when on-boarding new clients, to network discoveries and credential management best practices across the Orion Suite, now is you chance, Just Ask!
