ExtraHop Networks (News - Alert) unveiled the first ever agentless Application Performance Management (APM) solution, specifically designed for Citrix Desktop virtualization and verified Citrix Ready to be compatible for Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp and Citrix NetScaler.

There are more than 250 thousand companies using Citrix desktop virtualization solutions to manage distributed users, and the new ExtraHop solution reportedly brings immense benefits to them. They can now realize deeper application performance visibility via thorough and accurate analysis, possible with ExtraHop’s Citrix Ready partnership.

A unique network-based application performance management (APM (News - Alert)) solution, the ExtraHop system allows IT organizations to view application servers, databases, storage systems and the network, together as one integral delivery system.

MedSolutions, an ExtraHop customer, acknowledged that ExtraHop’s offering is the only solution that delivers deeper real-time insight into Citrix performance by user, session and client type. The solution easily sorts out potential problems and helps remove them before end-users are affected.

Citrix worked with ExtraHop to ensure customers have the best and most consistent experience with their virtual desktops. ExtraHop has built an elegant, agentless solution for monitoring the performance of its desktop virtualization solutions to track end-user performance and tie that activity back to the underlying infrastructure.

“Citrix transforms applications into a bitstream of pixels and clicks, creating an opaque black box,” said Jesse Rothstein (News - Alert), ExtraHop CEO and co-founder. “Without the key to that box, you simply can't know what's going on inside. Real-time analysis of the VDI protocols is that key, and ExtraHop is the only solution on the market that provides it. Furthermore, we deliver this unprecedented level of visibility without requiring any agents on desktops or servers.”
