Having well-organized dashboards is just as important as having good dashboards. But dashboard organization shouldn’t just make things easy to find. It should provide structure that supports collaboration and efficient troubleshooting. It has to be more than a basic folder system.

As part of our day-to-day consulting work at GripMatix, we spend a significant amount of time in various customer environments where we are designing, validating, and troubleshooting EUC platforms.

We provisioned new VDA machines directly on XenServer using the PVS Virtual Desktop Setup Wizard. This ensured clean builds, free from VMware-specific components, and fully optimized for the XenServer platform.
