Regardless of whether you are a system administrator or an end-user, convenient and secure access to essential apps and desktops is essential to perform your tasks efficiently. Due to the new imperative of working remotely, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions such as VMware Horizon, Citrix VDI, and many more have significantly boosted over the past few years. In fact, the VDI market is expected to grow from about $14 billion in 2022 to about $50 billion by 2030. Today we want to take a closer look at VMware Horizon, the importance of having proper monitoring, and what options to choose from.

Performance and User Experience Monitoring for Citrix Linux Workspaces

Citrix for Linux VDI and DaaS options allow organizations to deploy Linux digital workspaces and Linux applications that can then be accessed by end-users from Linux or non-Linux endpoints. This allows organizations to deploy applications optimized for Linux OSs to users using mobile, Mac, Windows, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) endpoints as well as those using native Linux.

Synthetic Monitoring for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Applications

Synthetic Monitoring Platforms should be used for synthetic monitoring of AVD applications as they provide more complete and accurate results. These platforms are designed to work within virtualized environments and can interact with the underlying operating system, allowing for more in-depth testing and diagnosing performance issues.
