The Need to Monitor the Performance of Citrix Cloud Infrastructures
Citrix Cloud provides a hybrid cloud platform for organizations to deliver XenApp and XenDesktop services, offering increased flexibility and affordable pricing for scaling workloads on demand. Despite the benefits Citrix Cloud offers, managing performance of Citrix services remains a challenge for Citrix admins.
Even though some of the Citrix delivery infrastructure is hosted in the control plane and managed by Citrix, the enterprise IT teams are still responsible for the overall performance of the XenApp and XenDesktop services delivered to end-users. They need sufficient monitoring capabilities in their arsenal to proactively diagnose and troubleshoot performance problems, before they become business-impacting.
