SolarWinds to Join the Discussion on Interoperable IT Management for Defense Forces at AFCEA West 2017

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13, 2017 -- SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced its upcoming participation in AFCEA West 2017, running February 21 – 23 in San Diego, California. SolarWinds will demonstrate how its network, systems and applications, and security and database management solutions can assist military IT professionals in modernizing their networks for tomorrow. The company will also host a ­­complimentary networking reception for attendees at Float, located on the Hard Rock Hotel^® rooftop.

AFCEA West, in its 27th year of bringing military and industry leaders together, is the premier naval conference and exposition on the West Coast, providing the opportunity for senior military and government officials to gain valuable feedback directly from Sea Services war fighters. This event also allows SolarWinds to engage with U.S. and allied military and government decision-makers and discuss their military requirements and how SolarWinds^® tools can impact future Sea Services operations.

“The growing trend to consolidate and modernize the increasingly complex IT resources within our government agencies, particularly in light of growing security threats, is driving the demand for more powerful and secure IT management software,” said David Kimball, senior vice president, federal and national government, SolarWinds. “At this year’s AFCEA West event, SolarWinds will be demonstrating how our latest solutions can aid our military partners through this daunting process while helping to ensure that they are in the best position to meet the IT challenges of tomorrow.”
