Citrix Application Performance Management Channel
Citrix technology provides significant benefits to the IT organization, enabling more efficient delivery of shared applications to many users over wide area and mobile networks. However, its unique architecture impedes application performance troubleshooting. The Citrix server acts as a proxy for hosted applications, relaying information between the user and the back-end tiers that process user transactions. The resulting loss of end-to-end visibility makes troubleshooting significantly more difficult.
Welcome to the Citrix Application Performance Monitoring channel. The channel will discuss how to ensure that you are delivering good performance for your users of Citrix-hosted applications. To keep up to date with the most current articles, white papers, case studies and more, stay tuned to the Citrix Application Performance Monitoring channel.
