- Easy to analyze Citrix XenDesktop service topology views allow helpdesk staff to quickly identify which tier of the infrastructure could be affecting the user experience (e.g., network? database? application? virtualization platform? storage?).
- Automated, virtualization-aware problem diagnosis allows desktop service managers to accelerate the discovery, diagnosis and resolution of bottlenecks that impact user experience.
- Powerful historical and trend reporting and forecasting enable Citrix architects to identify how to right-size and optimize the Citrix infrastructure to get more out of their investments in XenDesktop 7 technology and ensure maximum ROI.
