Making its official debut earlier this month at Citrix Synergy (News - Alert) 2013 in California, Citrix’s very own XenDesktop 7 brings visibility within a corporate infrastructure to an unparalleled level due to its application performance management capabilities, in addition to the overall optimization of the back-end infrastructure. Companies must be able to closely analyze each and every action taking place within the corporate infrastructure so as to overcome small problems before they become major issues and to protect themselves from cyber attacks. Luckily, this tool makes it simple to do just that.
According to a recent report, “The Citrix server-based computing community has been anticipating XenDesktop 7 since it was first announced one year ago. XenDesktop 7 will help IT organizations bring Windows desktops and applications into the era of mobility and cloud services.”
Transitioning to a cloud-based environment is something businesses around the world are beginning to do at a rapid speed, and it is key that this migration is as painless as possible. With the many capabilities powered via this offering, companies can rest assured that their platform will be up and running in a short amount of time.
Taking a closer look into the features powered by XenDesktop 7, we can see that it offers:
Extreme Mobility
HDX deep compression and redirection technologies within this offering allow individuals to connect their devices to mobile broadband networks. “The redesigned Citrix StoreFront will also make it easier for users to seamlessly access desktops and applications,” the report added.
User Friendly Experience
This Citrix application performance management product is highlighted as enabling organizations to bring together management and administration of hosted applications and desktops (XenApp) and personalized desktops (XenDesktop) to one single, unified platform. This function is extremely beneficial to IT administrators wishing to become more efficient, in particular.
End-User Experience Closely Integrated with How the Back-End Performs
“With ExtraHop’s powerful Citrix ICA analysis capabilities and our ability to correlate Citrix streams and channels with activity at all of the back-end tiers, Citrix administrators and IT Operations teams can tie specific front-end issues to back-end infrastructure performance, including network, authentication service, middleware, database, and storage,” the report concluded. Done on a proactive rather than a reactive basis, the scalable product is proving, by the day, to be an integral part of running a successful operation.
OPNET is another Citrix application performance management provider that has steadily built up its customer base by letting users gain access to on-demand self-service for enterprise applications. The company’s CX-Tracer has been highlighted as completely revamping how monitoring and troubleshooting takes place within Citrix- hosted environments.
