Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO)
See the self-hosted, integrated successor that unifies network, systems, and apps.
Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO) is SolarWinds' integrated, self-hosted product that bundles the formerly separate Orion modules — network (NPM), server and application monitoring (SAM), virtualization, storage, network configuration, and log analysis — into tiered editions on one platform. It targets organisations that want a single self-managed tool spanning on-premises infrastructure and cloud, rather than buying and stitching modules individually.
A single facilities-management suite that watches the building, the power, the lifts, and the offices together — owned and run on site — rather than separate contractors who never compare notes.

The pitch is unified visibility for hybrid estates: one console correlating network, server, application, and database signals, with cross-stack alerting and dependency awareness. SolarWinds has layered in AIOps-style features for anomaly detection and event correlation to cut noise. HCO is the on-prem/self-hosted half of SolarWinds' strategy, complementing the SaaS SolarWinds Observability offering — important for enterprises with data-residency or air-gapped requirements that rule out pure SaaS.
