SolarWinds offers free Virtual Training for Customers

To enable a free virtual learning experience for IT professionals who have purchased SolarWinds product maintenance, SolarWinds has introduced Virtual Classrooms. In these virtual classrooms, SolarWinds product experts will host live, interactive training sessions designed to help IT pros harness the power of their SolarWinds deployments to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently as infrastructure complexity and skillset demands on IT pros increase.

"Unlike the 'Big Four' IT management vendors, we've never required professional services or training with our products. By offering this alternative to expensive professional services included with our standard maintenance, we're raising the bar on our competitors' value and answering the need our customers have expressed for comprehensive, relevant IT management training," said Chris LaPoint, VP – Product Management, SolarWinds.

SolarWinds Virtual Classrooms will also allow SolarWinds experts to share their expertise and knowledge with fellow IT pros tackling everyday IT challenges. Each session will be scheduled at varying times to assist customers in multiple time zones and will include lecture and lab segments in a small, virtual classroom setting, allowing IT pros to apply their training within their own environments.

The company plans to scale SolarWinds Virtual Classrooms to include additional products, the latest IT challenges and a more frequent class schedule throughout 2014.
