At Comtrade, we've invested a great deal of resources and manpower to ensure that every Citrix product has a management solution that connects to Microsoft SCOM," said Simon Taylor, GM and SVP, Comtrade. "Our management packs are the world's finest, because they not only collect, but also analyze and present data in a compelling way that allows IT teams to troubleshoot underlying infrastructure issues and deliver an unparalleled experience to end users over any device, any network, anywhere."
