XenDesktop - try eG Free of charge for 60 days
eG Innovations Enables Citrix XenDesktop Customers to Turn on End-to-End Monitoring in 3 Clicks, at Zero Cost "Virtual desktop technology is becoming mainstream and is being used to support mission-critical services in such markets as finance, healthcare, government, legal and education," said Srinivas Ramanathan, founder, president and CEO of eG Innovations. "To be effective replacements for physical desktops, VDI technology must deliver a comparable or superior experience to users. One of the key ways of ensuring this is by monitoring the virtual desktop infrastructure end-to-end, which is what the eG VDI Monitor does." The End-to-End VDI Monitoring-on-Tap service is free for Citrix XenDesktop customers to use for any 60-day period. Once the setup is completed, customers log in to a web-based monitoring and reporting console hosted in the cloud by eG. During this period, Citrix customers will have free access to metrics, reports and alerts, and will also get up to four hours of free performance consulting services. For a nominal fee, customers can also sign up for an end of trial performance audit report baselining their infrastructure. After this free service period, customers can choose to continue using the VDI monitoring service by paying a monthly fee or purchase the Citrix Ready certified VDI monitoring software from eG Innovations or one of its channel partners. There is no obligation to continue to use the service after the free trial. "The End-to-End VDI Monitoring-on-Tap service is a great program that mixes industry-proven monitoring services with a really innovative Cloud delivery model that we feel customers will value," said Garry Olah, vice president of business development and strategic alliances at Citrix Systems, Inc. "The combination of XenDesktop and eG Innovations' unique business service monitoring platform - along with the 60-day trial offer - represents a valuable combination for any company deploying XenDesktop." eG VDI Monitor Offers Powerful Capabilities
"Customers will see substantial value from this VDI monitoring service," Ramanathan said. "First, they will have unparalleled visibility into the performance of their XenDesktop infrastructure and can eliminate blind spots. Correlation across tiers will provide administrators with clear pointers to where the root-cause of problems lie. Thus, administrators will be able to rapidly troubleshoot any problems in the infrastructure and take early action to avoid potential problems. They also will be able to generate management reports on the usage and quality of the VDI service. Plus, they will access to usage patterns and trends that will be invaluable for planning future XenDesktop rollouts." According to Ramanathan, turning on the service will be hassle-free. Customers will just need to set up software agents on their critical servers, essentially a two minute task, and then log-in to the hosted monitoring console to start accessing metrics and reports.

Just Released: VDI-in-a-box 3.0 released with Citrix HDX
Kaviza have launched VDI-in-a-box 3.0 with Citrix HDX - their first major release since they announced the investment from Citrix in April. With this release, we extend Kaviza's ease and affordability with the high-definition virtual desktop experience of Citrix HDX (formerly known as ICA) through a special licensing arrangement. This is significant because Kaviza now breaks all three major barriers to virtual desktop adoption: cost, complexity, and user experience. With Version 3.0, you can deploy rich high-definition virtual desktops for a total cost per desktop (including hardware and software) of $260 to $410. And, you get an immediate return on every desktop - whether you deploy 25 or several hundred. People are really starting to take note - with awards from Gartner, eWeek, Synergy Best of Show, CRN and Network Products, to headline articles in InfoWorld, ComputerWorld, TheRegister, LANLine Germany, CRN magazine, and features on almost every major virtualization blog site (BrianMadden.com, Virtualization.info, Virtualization Practice, The VirtualizationReview, VDI Smackdown), we are starting to become a known entity.
