VMware VDI Monitoring

Granular Visibility For VMware Horizon View Desktops

Organizations can now get granular visibility for VMware Horizon View desktop environments. Customers using vRealize Operations Manager or any other existing network operations center monitoring tools can feed the granular user, machine and application metrics from Stratusphere into the framework of their choice via a simple API.  The detailed metrics around user experience generated from Stratusphere UX are critical in getting down to the root cause of common issues that surface in VMware Horizon View environments including ensuring capacity, managing workloads and understanding application, network and storage performance.

The addition of this API is powerful as it allows customers to minimize workflow disruption without sacrificing user experience detail. Desktop administrators can get the Stratusphere UX metrics they depend on to ensure performance and availability of workspaces, while using their existing operational monitoring toolset.” In addition to integration with other operations and management tools, the API allows for the seamless exporting of Stratusphere data into a host of formats including Microsoft Excel, CSV, HTML and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

Today many organizations are leveraging the API to generate ad hoc reporting of inventory, performance metrics and other data generated by Stratusphere UX in an easy to manipulate Excel format, saving countless hours compiling reporting and detail to support IT operations and reporting.
