down switch ports to secure access to sensitive information.
Updates to SolarWinds UDT coincide with the
latest issues being tackled by IT Pros such as BYOD. In
the latest update to scalability and additional support
and optimization for varying devices and vendors was a
priority. And, by working closely with and listening to
its user community, SolarWinds is able to gain real-time
and candid feedback from IT practitioners, so its products
can address the problems and challenges prevalent
in IT security today. SolarWinds UDT provides three
critical capabilities for network and systems managers.
First, it makes it possible to physically locate an enduser
device or user on the network extremely quickly.
Second, it allows for rapid quarantine of users or systems
by remotely shutting down a switch port. Finally,
it supports watch-lists and can alert when certain types
of devices or specific users connect to the network and
even take pre-defined actions to help protect information
and other assets. SolarWinds software is built to
scale and can support an IT environment of any size
and is used by nearly every U.S. federal civilian agency,
DoD branch and intelligence agency. SolarWinds UDT
complements other products, such as SolarWinds Network
Configuration Monitor, SolarWinds Log & Event
Manager, and SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor,
to name a few, providing additional breadth and depth
for continuous monitoring. SolarWinds software can
“collect once and report to many,” which gives IT, information
assurance, and security departments the unique
functionality they each need from a single, cost-effective
set of tools. SolarWinds UDT licensing is based on the
number of switch ports to being monitored. The licensing
model features large jumps in switch port count
allowing for rapid growth of an organization before an
additional licensing level is reached and can scale to an
unlimited number of switch ports.
