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.
While business leaders might drive enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives, responsibility for managing connected devices and equipment, building infrastructure capacity, and securing data and applications usually falls on IT. Choosing the right IoT ecosystem architecture and technology enables you to minimize cost while ensuring security and dynamic, analytics-driven action. While some vendors advocate a one-size-fits-all approach, Dell uses a holistic, objective methodology to determine the right IoT ecosystem for your unique environment. Learn how Dell's IoT-specific gateways, edge analytics software and infrastructure solutions provide flexible architecture options for multiple IoT use cases.

The document discusses how cloud computing can provide new tools for innovation in quality assurance and testing. It provides an overview of cloud computing topologies and implications of testing in the cloud. Key benefits of cloud computing include flexible pricing models, elastic scaling, rapid provisioning, and increased efficiency. While some workloads are well-suited for cloud delivery, others may not be ready due to security, regulatory compliance, or customization needs. Case studies demonstrate significant cost savings and returns on investment from cloud adoption.
Although AI/ML has made rapid progress over the past decade, it has not yet overcome technological limitations. With the unique features of quantum computing, obstacles to achieve AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) can be eliminated. Quantum computing can be used for the rapid training of machine learning models and to create optimized algorithms. This is what we call Master Systems Integration (MSI).
An optimized and stable AI provided by quantum computing can complete years of analysis in a short time and lead to advances in technology. Neuromorphic cognitive models, adaptive machine learning, or reasoning under uncertainty are some fundamental challenges of today’s AI. Quantum AI (Q-AI) is one of the most likely solutions for next-generation AI and is where our teams of SMEs excel
Strategies for Enterprise Grade Azure-based AnalyticsCloudera, Inc.
Over the past decade, big data implementations have been more sophisticated in particular for organizations operationalizing machine learning, analytics and data engineering. The pressures of data-driven cultures, multiple workload applications such as customer care, fraud management and cross-platform marketing are changing the game. Mixing machine learning with business processes and operationalizing analytics with data engineering practices places burdens on IT teams. Making these advanced data environments all work together is an ongoing challenge.
While you can still “swipe and go” to implement data management environments in the cloud for an easy solution, the easy path is often littered with additional costs, higher overhead in terms of maintenance and synchronization. Data savvy organizations are taking a more measured and coordinated approach to their machine learning, analytics and data engineering infrastructures.

Make A Stress Free Move To The Cloud: Application Modernization and Managemen...Dell World
Delivering IT services that keep the business running from day to day is always challenging. Delivering these services while simultaneously moving your IT infrastructure to the cloud can be almost impossible without the right tools and support. Attend this session to hear directly from leaders at Dell who specialize in application management and learn how Dell migration tools and services accelerate your move to the cloud while maintaining the high quality access to web and mobile services that your users demand.
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration
Application Darwinism - Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Evolve to the CloudSkytap Cloud
This document discusses how most enterprise applications will evolve to utilize cloud computing. It notes that businesses want to leverage existing investments but also adopt new technologies, and that hybrid applications which use both on-premise and cloud resources can help achieve both goals. The document demonstrates how a company called Skytap helps development and testing teams migrate workloads to the cloud in a fast and repeatable way. It concludes that hybrid applications, rather than just infrastructure, are the best approach for most enterprises to evolve their software to utilize cloud computing.
Visualizing Your Network Health - Know your NetworkDellNMS
An old adage states that you cannot manage what you don’t know. Do you know what devices are on your network, where they are located, how they are configured, what they are connected to, and how they are affected by changes and failures?
Today’s network infrastructure is becoming more and more complex, while demands on the Network Administrator to ensure network availability and performance are higher than ever. Business critical systems depend upon you managing your entire network infrastructure and delivering high-quality service 24/7, 365 days a year. So how do you keep the pace?
Learn how real-time visibility into your entire network infrastructure provides the power to manage your assets with greater control.
With the growth of cloud computing, technical managers are looking for ways to leverage this emerging platform to improve performance, reduce costs, and better serve their users. Due to the complexity of enterprise applications and their dependence legacy systems, some managers have concluded that making use of the cloud to power these applications is impossible, or prohibitively difficult.
This webinar will focus on the concept of ��Hybrid Applications”; applications that take advantage of the latest cloud technologies while still retaining on-premise legacy systems. Specific examples of hybrid applications will be presented and discussed in order to show how development and IT managers can begin migration to the cloud.

The document discusses cloud analytics, cloud testing, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Cloud analytics allows organizations to implement analytics capabilities in the cloud to scale easily as the company grows and removes the burden of on-premise management. Cloud testing verifies cloud functions like redundancy and performance scalability. VDI creates a virtualized desktop environment on remote servers that users can access from any device, bringing benefits like access, security, cost reduction, and device portability.
Application Darwinism: Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Move to the Cloud (SVC20...Amazon Web Services
(Presented by Skytap) Complex multi-tier enterprise applications that have been under development for decades assume reliable hardware and typically have dependencies on underlying operating systems, hardware configurations, and network topologies. The boundary between one application or service and another is often fuzzy, with many interdependencies. These traits make some enterprise applications difficult to refactor and move to a public cloud. Even the teams that manage these applications can be unfamiliar with cloud terminology and concepts. In this session for enterprise IT architects and developers, Brad Schick, CTO of Skytap and Skytap customers Fulcrum, DataXu and F5 will share their insights into why the evolution of enterprise applications will lead to hybrid applications that opportunistically take advantage of cloud-based services. Brad will then demonstrate Skytap Cloud with Amazon Web Services and discuss how enterprises can easily achieve this integration today for application development and testing.

How Citrix Admins can get a Virtual AssistanteG Innovations
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...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.

Troubleshooting the Most Common Citrix Complaints for Remote WorkerseG Innovations
When remote workers complain that Citrix is slow, where do you initially focus your investigations? What do you analyze and how do you triage now that there are remote working factors to consider?
Join us as George Spiers, Citrix CTP, and Barry Schiffer, Citrix CTP, share their real-world experience to provide you with tips on troubleshooting in the new normal.
In this webinar you'll learn how to:
• Understand the most common issues and how to troubleshoot them like slow logons, slow app/desktop sessions, connectivity issues, and more
• Methodically go about finding the scope, magnitude of impact, and source of the problem
• Investigate issues in the supporting infrastructure (network, AD, virtualization, etc.)
• Troubleshoot with automated and built-for-Citrix monitoring tools
How to consolidate Citrix Monitoring in a Single Pane of GlasseG Innovations
A recent survey by eG Innovations and xenappblog found that 68% of organizations are using 2-5 different tools for monitoring and managing their Citrix infrastructure. Multiple monitoring tools make it expensive to operate and troubleshoot IT infrastructure issues. Furthermore, a lot of manual effort is required to diagnose and fix performance issues.
Join Richard Faulkner, Enterprise Solutions Architect and CTP from Conversant Group, and John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations, and learn how you can get a single-pane-of-glass view of your Citrix infrastructure – from the client end to the virtual desktops/apps and even the backend applications.
See how you can:
--Monitor and get proactive alerts on the experience seen by Citrix users
--Track the performance of every layer and every tier of your Citrix infrastructure: NetScalers, StoreFronts, Virtual apps and desktops, WEM, PVS, License servers, etc.
--Troubleshoot in a single click and identify where the root-cause of a problem is: network, or storage, or virtualization, or the Citrix stack?
--Get insights to right-size and optimize your Citrix deployment
Digital Workspace Deployment and Performance Monitoring in the New Normal - S...eG Innovations
The last year has been tumultuous for everyone. For the end-user computing community, it was an extraordinary time with everyone having to deal with new requirements from their businesses at short notice. Over the last 3 months, xenappblog and eG Innovations conducted a survey to learn how organizations have adapted their digital workspaces to the new normal. For this webinar titled Digital Workspace Deployment and Performance Monitoring in the New Normal, we have invited three EUC experts to analyze and share their thoughts on the key findings of this survey of over 1050 digital workspace professionals.
Join this webinar and learn answers to several key questions, such as how many organizations adopted digital workspaces for the first time, how many are using cloud workspaces, how popular are different workspace technologies, how many monitoring tools are being needed to get a complete view of the digital workspace environment, and many more.

Gemeente Heerhugowaard aan het woord: “Productiviteit gewaarborgd ondanks het...eG Innovations
“Hoe gebruikt gemeente Heerhugowaard hun IT omgeving optimaal om thuis werken te faciliteren?”
“Welke problemen ervaarde gemeente Heerhugowaard en hoe hebben zij dit aangepakt?”
Deze en meer vragen worden beantwoord door Michiel Bakker tijdens dit webinar.
Het IT landschap wordt steeds complexer met de diverse applicaties in de CLOUD, lokaal draaiende software, gebruikers werkend vanuit huis en/of op kantoor. Dit stelt steeds hogere eisen aan uw IT organisatie. Het niet beschikbaar hebben van een bedrijfskritische applicatie kan zelfs leiden tot imagoschade. Daarom denken wij dat proactief beheer steeds belangrijker wordt.
Michiel Bakker, System Engineer bij Gemeente Heerhugowaard en Barry Schiffer, Pre-Sales Consultant bij eG Innovations bespreken de volgende onderwerpen:
Wat zijn IT uitdagingen binnen lokale overheidsorganisaties?
Met welke problemen heeft een gemeente te maken?
Hoe heeft de gemeente Heerhugowaard de medewerkers productiviteit weten te waarborgen tijdens de veranderde werkplek in 2020?
Digital Workspaces and the Customer ExperienceeG Innovations
Customer experience is driving the digital age, and with the number of digital workers exploding the bar for assuring the digital user experience is quickly being raised — and not every enterprise is ready.
Fragmented monitoring approaches can make it all but impossible to connect the dots between complex, heterogeneous technical ecosystems, and the customer’s digital journey. The digital workspace can be a logical first step towards digital transformation but connecting the dots between ‘X-data’ (experience or XLA data) and ‘O-data’ (operational or SLA data) is not trivial.
In this webinar, John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations and an XLA Master, shows us:
-What role the Experience Level Agreement plays in the digital workspace
-The importance of unified, end-user-oriented views of digital workspace performance
-How converged APM/IPM can accelerate your customer experience journey
One of the most challenging tasks for a Citrix administrator is when a user calls in to the helpdesk complaining of a Citrix problem: logon is slow, session is getting disconnected, application launch is slow, etc. So, how does a Citrix admin go about solving such issues? A Citrix deployment has many infrastructure tiers and dependencies. Where do you initially focus your investigations, what do you analyze, and how do you triage?
George Spiers, Citrix CTP and EUC Architect, shares his real-world experience to help you learn the art of Citrix troubleshooting.
This document provides a summary of a webinar about troubleshooting Citrix performance problems. It discusses the impact of poor Citrix performance, including lost productivity and costs. It outlines a 3-step process for troubleshooting Citrix problems: 1) determine the scope of the problem, 2) determine the magnitude of the problem, and 3) determine the source of the problem. Specific tips are provided for troubleshooting common Citrix problems like slow logons, slow application launches, session disconnects, and frozen sessions. The role of monitoring, automation, and keeping systems updated is also discussed.

How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times?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 on 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?

Editor's Notes
RICK
For our webinar today, we shall discuss about Cloud APM, the ways to avoid the common mistakes about APM during your cloud journey.
When you look into a cloud monitoring solution, what you may need to look at.
Cloud adoption is increasing at a rapid pace. IDC estimates that global end-user spending on cloud services will exceed $1.3 trillion within the next five years. The organizations increasingly rely on cloud services to operate their business. So it is important to monitor and manage the performance of applications deployed on the cloud. This is where cloud performance monitoring comes in.
Cloud performance monitoring or cloud APM is the process of tracking the performance of applications delivered from the cloud. We use different offering from cloud providers like Infrastructure as a service or platform or software as a service. We tailor all together to offer our business services to our customer. Does the application perform well, as we expect? We need to track its performance to answer ourselves. <CLICK>
Our recent survey with DevOps institute says that 67% of the users were using hybrid infrastructure. 21% of them were moved to cloud completely. This migration does not happen in a day. Different trials and testing were involved behind this migration. <CLICK>
Surprisingly 71% of them were unhappy with the native performance capability of cloud providers. <why people are not happy? Does not monitor onprem/have gaps in functionality/only provides basic functionality/multi-cloud support not available/expensive?> Let’s talk about some interesting perceptions later.
So this is where cloud APM becomes prevalent.
<click> User experience metrics are important for cloud performance monitoring as they provide an indication of how well an application is performing.
At the same time, detailed application and infrastructure metrics are required if performance slowdowns are detected and additional diagnosis is necessary for troubleshooting.
There are hundreds of cloud services offered by service providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and others. Cloud performance monitoring must collect and analyze key performance indicators for all the services used by an application – e.g., if an EC2 instance is used to host an application, is the CPU credit balance of the instance sufficient? Or, could the application be slowing down because of insufficient CPU credit balance?
Infrastructure metrics in a cloud environment usually focus on usage. At the same time, they should also include indicators that highlight whether the resources allocated are under-provisioned.
<CLICK> Cloud migration provides you different challenges. 25% of the respondents said that they need to handle more complaints from app users than in the past. 38% of them says, monitoring the user experience is very important. 40% of them realized that executive management is concerned about application performance problems.
<CLICK> The monitored metrics are to be analyzed and correlated with each other. Then only you can determine the root cause of a problem. You may have nginx to load balance the requests. The application may be running in number of containers, which then connect to the database in paas. How quickly the operations team arrive at root cause is a key for successful cloud migration.
<CLICK> Cloud performance monitoring also includes the ability to take actions to resolve issues and get the applications
operating well. Learn from the lessons!
<CLICK> But do you have analytics screen do achieve this? <CLICK> Does the native monitoring metrics enough? You may need to validate; do they give silo views or end to end view? How many of you realized that you take data from cloud - native monitoring tools and correlate them manually? In this case, a unified cloud APM will reduce your burden.
<Click> Cloud migration happens for different reasons technically and commercially. Engineers migrate hoping that they can get increased agility. Their scalability will improve. And they can get high availability easily.
Commercially management feels comfortable in paying OPEX. As the services are outsourced, they think there are less things to manage.
Some of them think that it is easier to manage the apps. They do not need the tools and expertise of on-prem to manage the apps on the cloud. Yes, you are solving some of your problems here. You may believe the cloud provider’s native tools will help them for all problems. Is it real? Does it help to identify all blackspots? May not be.
<Click> You do not have visibility to entire infrastructure when you move to cloud. We know that. Underlying infrastructure is hidden. Shared among different clients. We are happy as they provide SLAs.
<CLICK> SLA is for the cloud service availability. Not for your applications. Because identifying the problems in your applications is your responsibility. Right? The buggy application code, slow SQL queries, SAML authentication, payment gateway problems… you have good probability of problems occurrences.
<CLICK> Changes to the underlying cloud infrastructure will influence the application’s performance
<CLICK> Your cloud application may serve more load than it is initially designed for. So you should know when cloud resources are insufficient.
<CLICK> If you think you can get rid of the tools when you move to cloud, you may need to plan in a better way because…
The environment is dynamically changing.
<CLICK> Your logs, trace files, KPIs, configuration changes etc are dynamically scaling in and out. You need to open your eyes wider.
<CLICK> So even after you move to cloud, you need a unified cloud APM to have a better control among your applications. It will help you to be proactive in finding out the problems. When the problem happens, the tool should help you in a better way to find out the root cause.
Many of us use auto-scaling. That is a great selling point for public cloud providers. <CLICK> You may spawn additional instances of your web/app/database servers when the load goes high. Interestingly we have observed it is not the user load that forces you to multiply always.
Application bottlenecks gives a false alarm to cloud platform, as if the application is loaded. For example, the application may be consuming too much of CPU because it is running unnecessary threads. It may be leaking memory. So It may be taking high amount of RAM. If the auto-scaling spawn new instances because of this kind of problems, are ready to pay a high subscription cost every month?
48% of respondents to our APM survey reported that they are using containers in the cloud. The same ratio is 32% for on-prem.
So, containers are growing. Container technology is introducing new blind spots that APM tools need to handle. Your user may be complaining about slowness. You may not know which nginx container, which SpringBoot application or Azure App services, which RDS supported his transaction. Then how will you identify the root cause of the slowness? Having cloud native resources monitoring or disjoined user experience and application monitoring provided by your cloud providers for additional cost may lead you to manual correlation.
<Click> So Auto-scaling does not guarantee the application performance always. A Cloud APM is required to know of how auto scaling is working and to alert IT staff if excessive scale-outs are happening or if a scale-out is triggered by a problem with in an application.
Cloud migration will protect you from normal hardware failures and other unexpected outages within an availability zone. You don’t need to maintain load balancers, firewalls and servers in your data center.
Managed service (Amazon RDS or Azure Database) will reduce the burden on your team.
At the same time you need to realize that the cloud service provider is not responsible for any faults in your application logic.
Like any other large organization, cloud providers also experience downtime and regional disasters.
<Enter> Just deploying your applications in the cloud does not guarantee high availability.
A cloud APM may help you to achieve High availability because ……
<have visibility when application crashes due to application problems>
<that tracks the outage in your cloud region or availability zone>
<it give you better visibility and proactiveness. It helps you to diagnose your application quickly>
<helps to manage your SLA>
<risk of downtime is lower>
You need to incorporate additional mechanisms to ensure high availability. Depending on the criticality of the application, your SLAs, and your cost budget, you can choose the appropriate HA configuration to ensure high availability. Cloud native tools may not help much during this scenario. You may need to have a DR environment, where multi-cloud technology can help you.
<Enter> You may have scripts to redirect your users to your DR site. Such scripts can be invoked by your cloud APM as a corrective action or self-healing.
Fact:
In our survey, 71% of respondents indicated that the built-in cloud monitoring tools were not sufficient for their needs. It is natural. <relate with customers, give example>Some of them are using multi-cloud. Some of them have on-prem workload as well. Unfortunately, they can view only one sight with their two eyes! I mean, there are so many consoles to track. Each cloud provider gives their own monitoring console. On-prem has different console. Finally correlation becomes manual!
Built-in cloud monitoring tools require elaborate set-up and are time-consuming to operate. We are not talking about resource utilization metrics like CPU or Memory consumption. When it comes to application monitoring, the scope becomes complex. Those tools also lack all the capabilities of a complete application and infrastructure monitoring tool.
Some of us try to replicate our on-prem success story to cloud.
<CLICK> To some extent this works. You can monitor the EC2 VMs, databases etc.
<CLICK> But the problem comes when you start using more and more cloud native technologies like RDS, beanstack, app services etc.
<CLICK> Your monitoring tools should be cloud-aware.
<CLICK> They should support auto-deployment of monitoring agents, auto-discovering your cloud subscriptions, auto-managing them. It should apply machine learning techniques to do the auto baselining and auto correlation. When the problem happens, it should do the self-healing.
<CLICK> When you move to cloud, the monitoring tool should support high support.
<CLICK> Capacity computation for on-prem workload and cloud work loads are different. So your on-prem monitoring techniques may not be work for cloud.
So ladies and gentlemen, a best on-prem monitoring tool may not be a best cloud monitoring tool. For a cloud success story, you need to prepare well to choose a monitoring solution, that are well integrated with multiple clouds. It should also help you to bring your on-premise work load. It will help you to achive the ONE SCREEN – that is unified monitoring.
So as a summary –
<CLICK>We shall avoid common mistakes while we move to cloud.
<CLICK>Cloud migration does not remove the monitoring responsibility from you.
<CLICK>Auto scaling does not guarantee the performance. A faulty code with auto-scaling can have adverse effect on your cloud cost. So monitoring your production application is super important.
<CLICK>Your cloud can go down. You may need to think about multi-region, multi-cloud techniques to succeed.
<CLICK>Monitoring cpu and memory is not enough. The additional app monitoring techniques provided by your cloud operator may give you silo view. So prepare for unified Cloud APM with auto-correlation.
<CLICK>A best on-prem monitoring tool may not yield you similar success in cloud.
<CLICK>Monitoring the dynamically changing cloud application is really complex. Unified view will save your MTTR.
While choosing cloud monitoring tools, here is my checklist.
Ensure it offers unified view among multi-cloud <Recall single medicine slide>
Ensure it can include your on-prem work load as well. Else, you may need to run behind different consoles.
It should support most of the cloud-native platforms like RDS, beanstalk, app services, Office 365 etc
It should have inbuilt analytics of cloud usage
It should monitor user experience. It is important.
It should provide automated root cause analysis to isolate the problems easily.
It should support cloud native features like auto-scaling, auto-deployment, auto-discovery, auto-configuration.
It should be secured.
It should cost you more. You should not be surprise you at the end of the month.
It should monitor the cloud billing cost and predict your monthly cost.
