Stratusphere UX

User experience visibility and validation across physical, virtual & terminal servers

What does Stratusphere UX do?

Stratusphere UX delivers validation of user experience (UX) and visibility into:

AD and LDAP Usernames and Groups
OS and Network Applications
Endpoint devices
Hypervisors
Servers
Network traffic
Storage subsystems

Across physical, virtual and terminal servers.

What is the challenge?

Providing desktop visibility to desktop administrators who need to deliver applications and data to users with a consistent user experience on a virtualized and highly converged network.

Why is it a challenge?

Desktop administrators and support personal are often locked out of datacenter monitoring tools for virtualization, network, and storage and have little end user, desktop and application visibility. Identifying the cause of performance issues can be a difficult task met with finger pointing across the organization.

Who uses Stratusphere UX?

With Stratusphere UX, your desktop administrators and support teams can validate your end users experience without access to datacenter performance monitoring tools and relate application response times directly to named users and virtualized resources.

What makes Stratusphere UX different?

Stratusphere UX delivers user experience visibility in a simple, secure and desktop administrator friendly ‘read-only’ fashion where no changes are written back to AD, Virtual Infrastructure, Storage and Network tiers! Desktop to datacenter, Stratusphere UX is the perfect ‘read-only’ solution for desktop administrators and support personnel to measure and rate your end user experience and application response times.

End user experience - VDI focused
End to end visibility - Desktop to datacenter
Ease of deployment - Ready to use virtual appliance
Cross platform - Windows, Linux, desktops, servers, physical or virtual
Relates metrics to user and application names
Delivers visibility of multiple subsystems correlated by user and application name
Provides collated view of dissimilar subsystems
Deep network visibility at the packet level – both TCP and UDP
Operates as ‘read-only’ for secure no touch access to critical datacenter systems
Advanced support for VMware ESX Server, VMware View PCoIP and VMware ThinApp
7 patents granted for network packet level identification and security

Other solutions are built for legacy systems, displaying legacy metrics, are subsystem based with no correlation to user and application names, and often provide complex access to critical systems where accidental changes could render users, applications or systems inoperable.

Does Stratusphere UX support traditional monitoring metrics and servers as well?

Stratusphere UX tracks hundreds of metrics for a highly accurate, objective and methodical way to measure users’ experience. Compare platforms, protocols, endpoints, storage, network, and resource pool reservations -- by application, user, group, and over custom time periods. Unlike solutions that only monitor system resources, Stratusphere UX goes beyond to pulse user, group and application usage, hardware and software inventory for Citrix XenDesktop and VMware View environments as well as physical Windows PCs, endpoints, related infrastructure servers and storage as well as support for various Linux distributions.
