The process of expanding operations or adopting new technology within an IT organization is sometimes met with caution. Rightfully so, given what’s at stake. Even the smallest configuration error, which can happen when you introduce new software or systems into a network, can spell disaster. Whether it leads to downtime, loss of data, the advent of security vulnerabilities, or compliance violations, the costs can be great for businesses of all sizes.
It’s not surprising, then, that some IT pros are hesitant to try out new software or test the latest SolarWinds offerings. But what it really boils down to is the fact that some IT pros don’t have the resources available to test a solution effectively without fearing these negative consequences.
What if I told you it was possible to test a solution like SolarWinds® Log & Event Manager (LEM) in a manner that was both safe and free for your business? Would you consider adding a powerful SIEM solution to your arsenal that tackles IT security and compliance? Well, you can! Introducing the LEM + GNS3® Integration Guide.
What is GNS3?
