DESCRIPTION

Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile are at the heart of the mobility strategies for many enterprises and service providers. As you embark on your mobility initiatives, you will need to ensure that users receive reliable and high performing service. Performance monitoring, diagnosis and reporting is a key to ensuring the success of your Citrix mobility initiatives. Watch this webinar "Performance Monitoring and Analytics for Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile" and see first-hand how to address performance-related challenges of Citrix mobile infrastructures. During this webinar Citrix virtualization expert Bala Vaidinathan (CTO, eG Innovations) will demonstrate how eG Innovations' new performance monitoring solution for Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile allows you to: • Monitor every layer, every tier of your Citrix mobile infrastructure • Be alerted to performance problems proactively before your users notice and complain • Identify exactly where the root-cause of any problems in the Citrix mobile infrastructure lie, so you can initiate remedial action quickly • Gain a holistic end-to-end view of the Citrix infrastructure (including XenApp and XenDesktop), understand usage trends and bottlenecks and plan effectively for growth • Customize real-time dashboards and create targeted reports to deliver timely, concise information that is relevant and valuable to each technical and management team member

Troubleshooting a Slowdown

There seems to be an issue with the local

Storage Zone for ShareFile.

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com

Troubleshooting a Slowdown

The storage zone is slow because it is hosted on a VMware server that has

a bottleneck

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com

Troubleshooting a Slowdown

One of the datastores of the ESX server is seeing a

major issue.

I/O write latency is very high.

The critical issue is in one of the VMs.

Troubleshooting a Slowdown

Disk Activity on the CRM-Oracle 11G VM is showing a critical issue.

This disk is 99.5% busy!

Troubleshooting a Slowdown

An Oracle database instance on this VM is causing so many

IOPS that it is slowing the Vmware server and in turn

the ShareFile service.

Get More Out of Your Investment• Track user sessions on each server

the sessions

Efficient load distribution can ensure that this infrastructure supports a much higher number of users.

Auto-Baseline Key Metrics

• Auto-compute time-of-day baselines• Alert administrators when metrics violate baselines

Preemptive detection & alerting lets administrators see and fix problems before users notice

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com

A Preemptive Alerting Example A Real-World Scenario:

The domain server goes down, pulling down the BYOD service. Why?

eG’s alarm history provides a clue …

The domain server has failed and rebooted.

5 hours earlier, eG has alerted about an issue!

A Preemptive Alerting Example

eG’s In-N-Out monitoring of the VM on which

AD is running provides further insightsThe Client/Server Run-Time Subsystem (csrss) is a critical Windows process responsible for console

handling and GUI shutdown.

The csrss process in the VM is leaking OS
