Engage with the eG Innovations channel for informative and relevant webinars on how applying performance management best-practices in complex, multi-tiered infrastructures can turn IT service delivery into a center for productivity, growth and profit. Along with lots of great Citrix content, eG's senior technology executives, partners and industry leaders discuss current challenges and how to address them through effective performance management in physical, virtual and cloud environments.

The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation. 

But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service. 

Watch this webinar where John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. 

In this session we will discuss why clearly understanding the scope of your digital business services, along with the underpinning ecosystems needed to support them can help accelerate your ITSM and DevOps initiatives. 

You can learn: 

•Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements 
•What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context 
•How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration.

End-to-End Monitoring, ITSM and DevOps | An eG Innovations Shift-Left Webinar

In today’s distributed application ecosystems, with various inter-dependencies and dynamic  infrastructures, it is extremely challenging to detect and resolve application failures and performance slowdowns. This is especially true in a Microsoft .NET application stack. Developers, IT Operations Staffs and Site Reliability Engineers often get involved in long war room sessions to isolate the root cause of poor customer experience in the digital business service.

Join this webinar “How to Ensure High-Performing Microsoft .NET Applications”, by John Worthington, Director of Product Marketing at eG Innovations, as he explores the various problems that could affect .NET application performance and discusses industry best practices for effective performance monitoring.

- What are the various monitoring tools and options available?

Does Using Citrix Cloud Services Make Performance Monitoring Easier?

Application architectures have become more distributed, heterogeneous, and reliant on supporting infrastructure tiers. The new year will see customers beginning to realize they need to expand their APM monitoring capabilities to provide visibility of these supporting IT infrastructure components.

Application managers and IT teams are realizing that they need contextual visibility into how an infrastructure problem affects application performance, and seek APM solutions that can cross-correlate code-level and transaction-level performance with the health of the supporting physical, virtual, container and cloud infrastructures.

Join this webinar, as John Worthington, Director Product Marketing at eG innovations, discusses why this cross-correlation is so important and what's required to achieve it.

In this webinar, you will discover:

-Why monitoring applications in isolation will not be enough to monitor digital business service performance
-What's required for the enterprise to achieve total performance visibility
-How you can build an incremental plan for achieving transparency in digital service performance monitoring

Single Pane of Glass Application and Infrastructure Monitoring

Achieving a single pane of glass for performance management has been an elusive goal, as organizations are faced with an increasingly complex mix of legacy, virtual and cloud technologies, as well as emerging operating models and evolving roles/skillsets.

But, monitoring the performance of digital business services demands more than visibility to just the end user experience, applications, or the underlying infrastructure. It requires an ability to automatically anticipate and isolate performance issues across a heterogeneous mix of technologies, devices and suppliers.

Digital business services are how end users experience IT, and that is how IT services must be managed. Achieving unified performance management will continue to be elusive until all stakeholders are aligned with this approach.

Join this webinar, as John Worthington, Director of Product Marketing at eG innovations, details some best practices for achieving the single pane of glass vision. Attendees will receive the related White Paper, "Best Practices for Achieving Transparency in Digital Business Services Monitoring".

In this webinar, you will: 
-Learn how monitoring can be leveraged in continuous improvement and other transformative change programs
-See how converged APM/IPM can accelerate achievement of a single point of glass for performance monitoring
-Identify some best practices you can apply for achieving unified monitoring and improving organizational transparency

How To Achieve Single Pane of Glass Performance Management

Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) allows system and application administrators to monitor operations, services, devices and applications within an enterprise through a single console. This single pane of glass can simplify operations, but monitoring the performance of end-to-end digital business services requires more than aggregating measurement data using multiple management packs.
 
From a performance management perspective, unified monitoring is most effective when there’s a single source of actionable truth; it moves us away from diagnosis-related activities and toward collaborating on how to establish self-healing properties when that diagnosis is identified. Not only is this more cost-effective, it’s a more “unifying” activity than troubleshooting.
 
A single pane of glass without an understanding of end-to-end IT service dependencies may just lead to more alert fatigue-- little actionable information due to lack of effective correlation and root cause diagnosis. The results are long problem isolation and diagnosis cycles, resulting in poor user experience and increased IT operation costs.
 
Join us for this webinar as John Worthington, Director of Product Marketing at eG Innovations, demonstrates how you can achieve end-to-end performance monitoring of Microsoft IT services such as SharePoint, Exchange or custom .Net applications--even if those IT services incorporate non-Microsoft components or cloud services—and unify Microsoft SCOM at the same time.

Why You Should Monitor IT Service Performance in Pre-Production Environments

Troubleshooting slow application problems is one of the toughest challenges that IT organizations face in today's web-based, cloud-driven and dynamic environments. Given the distributed and inter-dependent nature of application frameworks, tracking just the application up/down status and basic CPU and memory utilization metrics is not sufficient anymore. IT administrators need visibility of the real user experience, code-level insights into transaction processing and real-time analysis of the health of the supporting infrastructure.
Historically, IT organizations have been using different tools for monitoring the application and infrastructure tiers. Lack of integration, need for manual analysis, and expert-intensive troubleshooting have been some of the drawbacks of such a multi-tool strategy. Join us for this webinar to discover how converged application and infrastructure performance monitoring can be achieved to:

-Provide a one-stop solution for unified and integrated performance visibility of the application and infrastructure tiers
-Proactively detect user experience issues before online business is impacted
-Trace business transactions and isolate the exact cause of application slowness
-Get code-level visibility to identify inefficient application code and slow database queries
-Automatically map application dependencies within the infrastructure to pinpoint the root cause of the problem

How to Achieve Converged, Integrated Application & Infrastructure Monitoring

IT transformation is less about going from one point to another than it is about making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The historical fragmentation of IT monitoring limits visibility and transparency, often at critical times during a transformation journey.

Citrix and Virtual Desktop infrastructures (VDI) are highly performance sensitive. Slow logons, session disconnects and screen freezes are just some of the performance issues that Citrix administrators have to deal with. To deliver the best user experience, administrators must be able to proactively detect and resolve performance issues, before they become business impacting. And when problems do occur, Citrix administrators must be able to quickly determine where the root-cause lies: Is it in the storage, hypervisor, network, delivery controller, provisioning servers, XenApp and/or XenDesktop VDAs, database, or StoreFront? Diverse back-end applications, remote network connections, client capabilities can also add to the challenge of desktop virtualization.
