Free Online Orion NPM Customer Training

One of the great benefits of Orion is that its really easy to install and easy to use.  Nevertheless, new customers often find that they can get more out of the product if they invest a little time in training.  Notice that I say time and not money, because SolarWinds offers quite a bit of online training for free.  Here are a couple of useful resources for getting more out of what you’ve already bought. 

First, we’ve got a training session that’s already been recorded.  Just click on the link below and start watching. 

NPM Customer Training Part 1 (90 minutes)

• During this 90 minute training session we’ll cover:

This class was designed for existing users of Orion NPM.  The training is presented by Josh Stephens (Head Geek and VP of Technology),  Chris LaPoint (Group Product Manager, Network products) and Brandon Shopp (Product Manager for NPM).

Part 2 of the training hasn’t occurred yet (as of July 29, 2010).  You can sign up to attend the sessions live and ask questions.  Still free!  Sign up soon, because we can only handle 1000 folks in a session.  If we fill our sessions, we’ll schedule more.  We will also send you a link to the on-demand version as soon as it is available.
