Stratusphere™ UX

Desktop Monitoring, Validation And Diagnostics Solution

Using unique, patented technology, Stratusphere UX is an essential desktop monitoring tool for virtual desktop administrators who support mixed virtual-and-physical production environments. Stratusphere UX benefits environments where virtual desktops are in production, and administrators plan to scale the environment by:

• adding more users
• adding users with different working habits (i.e., remote vs. in-office)
• adding more complex user desktop images (knowledge or power workers)
• running both virtual and physical desktops in their environments
• upgrading  or adding new operating systems or applications

New Preview Inspectors allow administrators to proactively monitor environments and drill down into potential issues to respond to Help Desk requests or other support tasks.

Stratusphere UX complements VMware vCenter Operations Manager:

VMware vCenter Operations is designed to provide visibility into the virtualization layers and other supporting systems, including host, storage and network. VMware vCenter Operations is complemented by Stratusphere UX and Stratusphere Adapter which allow organizations to gain an entire view of their desktops in a single pane of glass in VMware vCenter Operations consoles -- from users, their applications and the endpoints through the virtualization layers through the storage and network layers. Stratusphere Adapter provides an integration feed for Stratusphere UX metrics to flow and display directly into VMware vCenter Operations consoles.

Stratusphere UX complements Citrix EdgeSight Manager:

• Stratusphere UX offers detailed user, machine and application metrics comparable to Citrix EdgeSight, for XenDesktop, XenServer and XenApp environments. Preview Inspectors make drill downs into applications processes quick and straightforward.
• For environments where Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop are running on virtual hosts, Stratusphere UX provides a view into the virtualization and storage layers as well as in the guest metrics.
• Stratusphere UX runs as a virtual appliance, is platform agnostic and provides an independent system for data metrics collection to complement EdgeSight for mixed environments running both virtual desktops as well as Terminal Server or XenApp sessions.

Stratusphere UX addresses key desktop monitoring use cases including:

Health Checks: Unlike physical desktops, virtual desktops are supported by complex shared resource systems. Traditional desktop monitoring tools only provide visibility into systems performance, but Stratusphere UX tracks key user, group, machine and application metrics to provide comprehensive, time-based visibility into the quality of the user experience on the virtual desktop.

Validation: Validation provides hard objective data to verify that you are making the right decisions at each phase of your project. Validation checkpoints can verify critical comparisons through the desktop lifecycle.
