SolarWinds has introduced Thomas LaRock as the newest member of the Head Geek team, bringing his expertise in database administration and all things SQL Server to support the ever-changing challenges and needs of IT professionals everywhere.
"Thomas is an excellent addition to the SolarWinds Head Geek team. His hands-on experience and broad knowledge of the database management market have already positioned him as an expert in his field as a true 'SQL Rockstar’. Moreover, Thomas loves sharing his knowledge with fellow DBAs and IT Pros, which reflects the commitment to education and community that is at the heart of SolarWinds," said fellow SolarWinds Head Geek Patrick Hubbard.
LaRock joins the SolarWinds Head Geek team following SolarWinds' 2013 acquisition of Boulder, Colorado-based Confio, where he served as the company's technical evangelist for Confio Ignite, now SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA). SolarWinds DPA provides comprehensive performance monitoring, analysis and tuning for SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 or Sybase databases and features a VM Option, offering users unique visibility into databases on VMware to improve performance and reduce risk for database projects. LaRock now joins four current SolarWinds Head Geeks to support the varied concentrations and needs of the IT professional community.
