what is Orion? N-Central?

Solarwinds seems to have many diverse products.  My understanding is that Orion is not currently sold by Solarwinds?

They seem to sell N-Central for RMM.

I'm looking to use the SolarWinds Orion SDK, or the powershell module, or, at least perl, with the SWIS (SolarWinds Information System).

1. )  What products does or do these API's, SDK's and modules work with?

2.)  How would I execute or run a sample?
