Monitors Performance of Horizon and Citrix Environments on vSphere
A single console provides administrators with applications and desktop performance metrics and usage insights from Horizon, XenDesktop and XenApp. The fully customizable dashboards automatically track detailed health of your end user computing deployment, from virtual applications and desktop down to the underlying vSphere infrastructure.
What’s New: Version 6.3 supports monitoring of VDI and RDSH workloads of Horizon 7, 6.x and Citrix XenDesktop/ XenApp 7.6 to 7.8 environments, including Microsoft Windows 10 in-guest metrics, application usage and user usage reports.
Delivers Better User Experience
Quickly find and troubleshoot problems across your end user computing environment with in-guest metrics that analyze user and session-centric metrics, including CPU/RAM/disk utilization, logon times, PCoIP and ICA protocol performance and application experience. Easily isolate system weaknesses and proactively optimize performance.
Provides Advanced Analytics and Reporting
Automatically learn normal operating patterns for Horizon 6 infrastructure and user workloads. Leverage these analytics to set alerts based on dynamic rather than “hard” thresholds to catch system deficiencies while minimizing false positives. Receive advanced notifications before events impact end users to proactively manage your environment. Take advantage of user-centric dashboards and out-of-the box usage and license-compliance reports, and easily remediate your environment with common commands.
Reduces Total Cost of Ownership
Map your running compute, storage and network resources, then assess and analyze dependencies to easily view health, risk and efficiency status for your VDI deployment. Gain operational intelligence by identifying over-provisioned hardware, bottlenecks and resource constraints. Reconfigure resources and systems as needed for optimal utilization.
Integrates with NVIDIA GRID
Extend the graphics performance insight of NVIDIA GRID desktops, giving administrators a single pane of glass management experience. Dashboards give you a full view of your Horizon, Citrix and NVIDIA deployment, including session-specific GPU utilization, GPU memory usage and encode metrics, GPU type, user-specific alerts from GRID, and a “heat map” for GPU use cycle and memory, warning administrators of performance degradation before users are impacted.
