ManageEngine is showcasing its advanced performance monitoring capabilities for Citrix XenServer at this week’s Citrix Synergy conference.

Delivered as an integral feature of ManageEngine’s application performance monitoring solution, Applications Manager, the advanced monitoring capabilities help IT administrators in large enterprises gain useful insight into the health and performance of Citrix XenServer platforms as well as the applications running on these platforms.

ManageEngine is demonstrating Applications Manager and its Citrix XenServer monitoring solutions at Citrix Synergy, being held May 6-8, 2014, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Los Angeles. A silver sponsor of the show, ManageEngine is in Hall C, booth 429.

Citrix XenServer continues to carve out its niche in the virtualization market. The cost and energy savings as well as the improved performance and security benefits offered by Citrix XenServer have prompted many enterprises to move their mission-critical workloads to the Citrix XenServer platform. As a result, the IT teams in these organizations require deep visibility into the health and performance of Citrix XenServer to minimize downtime, maximize service and troubleshoot issues rapidly.

“A growing number of enterprises today use multiple hypervisor solutions in production environments, and that drives up the need for comprehensive management solutions,” said Sridhar Iyengar, VP of product management at ManageEngine. “Applications Manager’s multi-vendor virtualization monitoring capabilities for Citrix XenServer, VMware and Hyper-V empower customers to stay on top of these dynamic virtual environments from a single console.”

Apart from virtualization monitoring, Applications Manager monitors the health and performance of a heterogeneous set of applications — both in the data center and in the cloud.

Applications Manager enables comprehensive performance monitoring of Citrix XenServer hosts and virtual machines (VMs) to minimize downtime and performance degradation as well as take corrective action proactively before any problems arise. The key performance indicators of Citrix XenServer monitored by Applications Manager include those pertaining to health, availability, memory usage, CPU, network traffic and storage repository details.

Among its many benefits, Citrix XenServer monitoring in Applications Manager helps IT personnel:

- Get a 360-degree view into the performance and end-user experience of critical applications along with underlying Citrix XenServer health.

- Monitor resource utilization effectively to ensure critical apps never run out of resources. Plan capacity and make educated decisions on resource allocation.

- Automate corrective actions for Citrix services in situations where it is difficult and time consuming to diagnose and repair performance problems.

- Actively track live migration of VMs as they move from one host to another by accurately identifying XenMotion activity.

Applications Manager is available immediately.
