How to Deliver Exceptional End User Experience in Your Citrix Environment
Citrix enables secure End User Computing services across multiple platforms and devices, enabling users to do more, using more devices from more locations. However, these End User Computing services encompass and support many different technologies that vary significantly from one organization to another.
Users getting access to their desktops and applications is the first step, which is why monitoring the logon performance has become critical for Citrix-based IT services. That's why eG Innovations recently announced a Free Logon Simulator for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop. But that's only a first impression. To make a lasting impact on user experience, the applications and desktops being delivered on top of the Citrix service must also perform, and these digital business services will be comprised of many different components from any number of suppliers.
Discover how Citrix and eG Enterprise can combine to provide you with end-to-end performance management that can make a lasting impression your users will love.
Users expect - and demand – that the performance of their virtual applications and desktops match, if not exceed, the performance of their physical applications and desktops. So, when virtualizing Citrix applications or desktops, a great user experience is the key for success. Slow logons, session disconnects and screen freezes are just some of the performance issues that might affect user experience when virtualizing Citrix environments.
To avoid these potential issues and ensure the success of Citrix-based IT transformation initiatives, IT managers must be able to monitor and manage the user experience to ensure optimal user satisfaction and productivity. View these slides from our most recent webinar where Bala Vaidhinathan, CTO of eG Innovations, discusses how you can monitor and manage the experience of your Citrix users to guarantee Citrix virtualization success
How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?

Migrating to the Cloud – Is Application Performance Monitoring still required?
As more businesses adopt cloud technologies for their various benefits it must be noted that not all cloud offerings are the same and provide different services or infra SLA. Do you know that not all SLA from cloud providers mean your application will be ensured similar availability?
Depending on whether you are leveraging Saas, Paas, Iaas, etc to deliver your applications, you will have a different level of visibility and control of how you manage performance and deliver the user experience expected by your users.
Join the session and find out what remains within your responsibility and how you can monitor the various cloud infrastructure/services to give yourself the needed visibility to deliver the expected user experience without over-provisioning to ensure better performance.
Key criteria for choosing APM solutions for the next normal: analysis of surv...
Historically, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools have mainly been focused on providing code level visibility for web applications. IT managers have had to deploy these solutions to complement infrastructure monitoring solutions to get end-to-end visibility across applications and services.
To understand how the APM needs of organizations have evolved in the next normal, eG Innovations and DevOps Institute conducted a survey. Over 900 software professionals - DevOps engineers, SREs, ITOps teams and system admins – shared their knowledge and thinking.
We’ve invited Eveline Oehrlich, Chief Research Officer at DevOps Institute and ex-Forrester VP and Research Director to join us to dissect the results of this survey. Eveline will share her experiences and knowledge within the APM space, discuss trends and will discuss what the future of APM should look like. Also joining the discussion will be Arun Aravamudhan, Head of Java APM and Web Products and web products at eG Innovations.
We are looking forward to you joining this webinar. Here are some highlights on what we will cover:
- Why APM is no longer just about code-level analysis
- The need for converged application and infrastructure monitoring
- The strategy for Kubernetes and cloud monitoring in the next normal
- The challenges with native cloud monitoring options
- Application performance management has gained management attention
Register now and learn the current state of APM adoption and how business needs in the next normal will change how APM should be leveraged.
By offering a unified place for people to access any app, whether SaaS, web, mobile or virtual digital workspaces have become mission-critical for the new way of work. As digital workspaces evolve in scale, complexity and business importance Citrix Admins need unified visibility and actionable insights to diagnose and resolve performance issues across the entire IT environment—both physical and virtual; both on-premises and cloud.
This requires deep Citrix domain expertise along with end-to-end visibility across Citrix and non-Citrix tiers; which can quickly overwhelm most Citrix administrators. Citrix Admins need a virtual assistant to:
• Proactively monitor digital workspace user experience
• Automatically isolate and remediate performance issues
• Align capacity to changing business and user requirements
• Improve user experience with embedded analytics
Join John Worthington, Director Customer Success and Nanda Kumar, Director Solutions Engineering at eG Innovations, for an action-packed demonstration of how eG Enterprise is the digital assistant every Citrix Admin needs.
Make synthetic monitoring a critical part of your IT monitoring strategy: Why...
Many IT monitoring tools fail in the real-world because they are reactive to events that have happened. The first time the IT team knows there is a problem is when the service desk sees a pile of tickets with users complaining that their “application is slow.”
Adding a layer of synthetic monitoring can make ITOps go from being reactive to proactive. This helps the ITOps team to cut down on the number of service desk tickets because you can see where the bottlenecks are before end-users even notice.
While logon simulators are ubiquitous for Citrix and VMware Horizon environments, users really care about whether the applications they use in their job such as SAP, Office, Epic or Salesforce are responsive and usable.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn:
- How to record and automate REAL workflows to test any application – web apps or thick apps within a published desktops like Citrix, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, etc.
- How to check that web apps used by your employees are not just responsive but working as expected – this is critical for businesses that rely on SaaS applications like Office 365 and Salesforce
- How to validate that employees are able to logon to published desktops AND perform routine tasks in applications like SAP and Epic
- How to correlate the performance of the application with the underlying IT infrastructure to determine if bottlenecks are on the users’ network, in the third-party application or within your infrastructure
If you are struggling to be proactive, or to shift from monitoring resources to monitoring the digital experience of your users, then you need to attend this webinar to see just how easy it is to get started with synthetic monitoring.

How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?

Make synthetic monitoring a critical part of your IT monitoring strategy: Why...eG Innovations
Many IT monitoring tools fail in the real-world because they are reactive to events that have happened. The first time the IT team knows there is a problem is when the service desk sees a pile of tickets with users complaining that their “application is slow.”
Adding a layer of synthetic monitoring can make ITOps go from being reactive to proactive. This helps the ITOps team to cut down on the number of service desk tickets because you can see where the bottlenecks are before end-users even notice.
While logon simulators are ubiquitous for Citrix and VMware Horizon environments, users really care about whether the applications they use in their job such as SAP, Office, Epic or Salesforce are responsive and usable.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn:
- How to record and automate REAL workflows to test any application – web apps or thick apps within a published desktops like Citrix, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, etc.
- How to check that web apps used by your employees are not just responsive but working as expected – this is critical for businesses that rely on SaaS applications like Office 365 and Salesforce
- How to validate that employees are able to logon to published desktops AND perform routine tasks in applications like SAP and Epic
- How to correlate the performance of the application with the underlying IT infrastructure to determine if bottlenecks are on the users’ network, in the third-party application or within your infrastructure
If you are struggling to be proactive, or to shift from monitoring resources to monitoring the digital experience of your users, then you need to attend this webinar to see just how easy it is to get started with synthetic monitoring.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
