Confio Software, part of the SolarWinds®
[NYSE:SWI] family, announced today that its Ignite performance
monitoring solutions have earned three distinctions in Penton Media's Windows
IT Pro magazine annual awards program.
Confio was selected for the 2013 Community Choice Awards in the
following categories: Ignite
for SQL Server was awarded the silver award for Best Database
Monitoring & Performance Product, Confio’s
team was honored with the silver for Best Vendor Support and IgniteFree
was given the bronze for Best Free Tool. According to Windows IT
Pro, the 2013 Community Choice Awards represent the cream of the
crop in the various markets the magazine covers.
"Participation in our 2013 Community Choice awards was excellent,” said
Jason Bovberg, senior editor at Penton. "Our Windows IT Pro, SQL
Server Pro, and DevPro awards programs are unique
in that the product-nomination process is open to readers. We don't just
present a predefined list of products and services, thereby limiting
scope. Instead, the community both nominates and votes for the best
products of the year, ensuring a nice breadth of inclusion in the
surveys. Our winners have earned a unique honor to stand out among their
peers as winners of our Community Choice Awards."
“The Community Choice Awards are particularly thrilling for us because
they are selected by our users and those in the database community,”
said Don Bergal, Confio’s Chief Marketing Office. “These awards
underscore our commitment to delivering useful, reliable and supportive
software tools that solve database administrators’ pain points.”
Confio develops database performance solutions that improve service and
reduce the cost of operating Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 and Sybase
databases in physical or VMware environments. Confio's unique use of
response-time analysis in Ignite helps database administrators (DBA),
developers and DBA managers identify, analyze and resolve the most
complex and costly performance problems which can significantly affect
enterprise business performance.
Confio has been honored with multiple awards and distinctions in 2013,
including the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, the Inc. 500|5000 and the
Denver Post’s Top Workplaces. In October 2013, Confio
Software was acquired by SolarWinds, an IT management leader serving
