ExtraHop Networks, a provider of network-based APM solutions, launched an agentless APM solution that is verified Citrix Ready to be compatible for Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp, and Citrix NetScaler.

With real-time analysis of virtual desktop wire protocols, the ExtraHop Citrix Module for XenDesktop and XenApp enables IT teams to identify and resolve small issues before they become major problems, quickly determine which part of the infrastructure is responsible for degradation in performance, and gain other valuable insights to help manage their desktop virtualization deployments.

In addition to troubleshooting end-user experience and pinpointing general slowdowns, the ExtraHop Citrix Module monitors how much bandwidth each application consumes, Citrix license usage, and the types of client devices used, including tablets and smartphones.

The analysis also includes the ability to monitor virtual channels, enabling IT teams to see if users are running bandwidth-intensive multimedia, such as YouTube.

The ExtraHop system is a passive network appliance that does not require anything to be installed on servers or desktops. Deployment takes less than 15 minutes, using only a port mirror or network tap, and IT teams can start gathering application health and performance metrics immediately without configuration.
