AUSTIN, TX--(Korea Newswire)--SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced that the company will offer DNSstuff, its online collection of DNS management tools for email, network, domain, and IP address lookup, for free. The free DNSstuff collection joins the comprehensive set of SolarWinds free solutions that address pain points in network, systems, SIEM, virtualization, storage, alerting, and more.

“For years, SolarWinds has developed dozens of free tools as a meaningful way to give back to IT pros by addressing their specific IT management problems,” said Sanjay Castelino, VP & Market Leader, SolarWinds. “By making DNSstuff‘s wildly popular tools free, we’re improving access to an important set of diagnostic tools, and in the process continuing our tradition of serving the IT community.”
