Desktop Virtualization Monitoring

Managing VDI and Application Delivery presents new challenges to administrators due to the complexity of the solution. Unlike other products, VDI and Application Delivery solutions such as Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp, and VMware View, simultaneously impact your virtual infrastructure, network, storage and supporting infrastructure. As a result, administrators face challenges in determining the root cause of problems that impact the experience of users, and as a result require quick remediation to ensure the users are able to return to productivity. Because VDI solutions run on resources that are often managed by different departments with different tools, it can be extremely challenging to objectively analyze performance, which is often best accomplished from a single unified dashboard.

MonitorIT’s Comprehensive Virtual Monitoring and built-in adaptation to VDI technologies such as Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp, enables an administrator to gain a complete view across the entire infrastructure from a single easy to use product. Monitor each component of the infrastructure agentlessly and with agents where deep diagnostic data is needed. End user experience can be analyzed to determine if users are experiencing keyboard, mouse, and screen lag, and further ensure that the VDI infrastructure is performing as it should. The hypervisor integration to VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer enables administrators to ensure resources are available and Storage performance is supporting the VDI infrastructure adequately. Network monitoring enables administrators to keep an eye on critical indicators of failure, such as packets/ second and packet drops. Further monitoring of the network infrastructure enables administrators to isolate where performance bottlenecks may be taking place across the local and distributed enterprise.
MonitorIT’s comprehensive solution enables customers to determine causality, remediate quickly and provide of objective evidence of the root cause of any issue. Ultimately, thresholds can be set in the technology so performance bottlenecks are anticipated and automatic fix actions can be configured.
