Every IT organization has the same mission: to maximize company profit by enabling business users to do their work as quickly and efficiently as possible. To achieve this mission, an effective IT service management strategy must ensure that applications are delivered to users reliably and with optimal performance levels.

However, while most companies have sophisticated system management tools that provide an enterprise view of their servers and networks, they lack a similar view of application performance and availability as experienced by the user. As a result, they lack the real-time visibility needed to manage the delivery, performance and availability of the mission-critical business applications users require every day.

Citrix XenApp™ provides application performance monitoring, powered by Citrix EdgeSight™. This shifts the IT focus from technology and systems to users to achieve business goals. It moves the emphasis away from the plumbing–-the networks, servers and infrastructure that support business-–to the business itself and the conductors of that business. By measuring performance and availability from the user’s perspective, application performance monitoring cuts across organizational and geographic boundaries and monitors the actual user experience. The result: IT organizations have the insight, data and tools they need to ensure that all IT resources are operating at peak efficiency-–so that users can do the same.
