HERMES SoftLab Citrix Xen Smart Plug-in for HP Software makes end user service level monitoring a measured and managed core of business activity. Alerts and alarms, which can be linked to automatic e mail or paging alerts, or even automatic counteraction such as taking a server off line, help measure availability and performance of Presentation Servers, Web Interfaces, Secure Gateways, and License Servers. The solution also tackles latency, a significant user experience problem, by establishing its source and isolating it to specific components as soon as the user logon process starts. Trending reports enable proactive solutions before users are impacted. All of this is achieved with no user or client side agents required.
