SolarWinds Announces Comprehensive September Webinar Series Addressing AI Integration, IT Observability, and Cloud Database Migration Challenges

In many organizations, IT operations and infrastructure teams rely on high-level metrics such as CPU utilization, memory availability, and network throughput. While these are essential indicators, they often fail to capture the nuanced bottlenecks occurring within the database engine itself. This session is specifically designed for IT operations managers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), platform engineering leads, and application support leaders who need to bridge this visibility gap.

The webinar will provide a detailed roadmap for uncovering the internal database factors that contribute to performance degradation. Attendees will learn how to investigate database waits, analyze complex queries, monitor workload activity, and identify blocking issues that remain invisible to standard infrastructure monitoring stacks. By learning to recognize when healthy infrastructure signals are providing a false sense of security, teams can significantly improve their incident routing and troubleshooting efficiency. A key objective of this session is to empower infrastructure teams to identify database-related issues without requiring them to become full-time DBAs, thereby fostering better collaboration across the IT organization.

Migrate Legacy SAP Databases to HANA and HANA Cloud with Confidence – Sep 22 & 23

As organizations continue their journey toward digital transformation, the migration of mission-critical ERP systems remains one of the most complex and high-stakes projects an IT team can undertake. On September 22 and 23, the SolarWinds series will tackle the specific challenges associated with migrating legacy SAP databases to SAP HANA and HANA Cloud.

SAP HANA is renowned for its speed and in-memory processing capabilities, but it is not immune to performance issues. When critical business processes—such as supply chain management or financial reporting—are affected by database slowdowns, the pressure on SAP Basis and database teams is immense. Often, surface-level metrics indicate that a problem exists but offer little insight into the "why" behind the performance dip.

This session will demonstrate how the SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) can be utilized to gain deep visibility into SAP HANA environments. The discussion will center on wait-based analytics, a methodology that prioritizes the time spent by the database on various operations, providing a clear picture of where bottlenecks are occurring. Participants will learn how to investigate expensive SQL statements, analyze resource pressure, and maintain historical trends to identify patterns over time. Whether an organization is operating on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid configuration, this webinar aims to provide the tools and knowledge necessary to manage SAP HANA migrations and ongoing operations with a high degree of confidence.
