ControlUp announced the release of ControlUp 6.0, the latest version of the company's flagship offering, ControlUp Real-time.
For the first time, ControlUp will support Microsoft Hyper-V and it now provides deeper support for XenDesktop Sites.
ControlUp 6 provides unsurpassed visibility into the actual end user experience based on their logon duration, their application load time, as well as their latency and bandwidth usage. The platform also offers several new historical reports and enhanced others to include the new metrics that are being collected, while they continue to lead the industry based on their "live reports" drill-down capability.
"ControlUp Real-time has been the go-to tool for system administrators in the know for years," explained Asaf Ganot, Founder and CEO of ControlUp. "It far surpasses other monitoring tools because with ControlUp Real-time, the administrator can identify and fix a problem that may exist on dozens or hundreds of computers with a single keystroke. We are delighted to welcome Hyper-V shops as well as providing even deeper support for Citrix XenDesktop shops. Now both can benefit from the vibrant community of ControlUp users and system administration experts who share wisdom and contributed scripts – extending thee effectiveness of each participating IT department."
Hyper-V has been added to the list of supported hypervisors, which previously included ESXi and XenServer. As VMs are moved by System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), they continue to be monitored and managed from a single pane of glass that spans the datacenter to the Azure Cloud to optimize operation across the hybrid cloud.
ControlUp 6.0 adds deeper support for Citrix XenDesktop environments, a market segment in which ControlUp dominates today, adding real time metrics for brokers, deliver groups, desktops and sessions to provide even more insight into the XenDesktop end user's experience and the bottlenecks within the shared XenDesktop computing infrastructure.
