How Citrix Admins can get a Virtual AssistanteG Innovations
By offering a unified place for people to access any app, whether SaaS, web, mobile or virtual digital workspaces have become mission-critical for the new way of work. As digital workspaces evolve in scale, complexity and business importance Citrix Admins need unified visibility and actionable insights to diagnose and resolve performance issues across the entire IT environment—both physical and virtual; both on-premises and cloud.
This requires deep Citrix domain expertise along with end-to-end visibility across Citrix and non-Citrix tiers; which can quickly overwhelm most Citrix administrators. Citrix Admins need a virtual assistant to:
• Proactively monitor digital workspace user experience
• Automatically isolate and remediate performance issues
• Align capacity to changing business and user requirements
• Improve user experience with embedded analytics

Top 5 IT Challenges resolved by Cloud DesktopsKelly Beardmore
Explore five specific use cases where Cloud Desktops deliver the mobility, security, ease of use, and cost reductions today’s businesses need.
Industry analysts and thought leaders love to talk about desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) on a high level as a driver of business transformation. The rest of us tend to be more grounded in real-world questions and challenges. How can I support BYOD without sacrificing security? How can I reduce the cost and complexity of supporting desktop IT.
Cloud Desktops delivers real-world, out-of-the-box solutions to small and medium sized businesses with the full power of industry-leading Citrix virtual desktop and application technology. This is the same technology used by the 10 largest companies in healthcare, banking, automotive and aerospace.1

Make synthetic monitoring a critical part of your IT monitoring strategy: Why...eG Innovations
Many IT monitoring tools fail in the real-world because they are reactive to events that have happened. The first time the IT team knows there is a problem is when the service desk sees a pile of tickets with users complaining that their “application is slow.”
Adding a layer of synthetic monitoring can make ITOps go from being reactive to proactive. This helps the ITOps team to cut down on the number of service desk tickets because you can see where the bottlenecks are before end-users even notice.
While logon simulators are ubiquitous for Citrix and VMware Horizon environments, users really care about whether the applications they use in their job such as SAP, Office, Epic or Salesforce are responsive and usable.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn:
- How to record and automate REAL workflows to test any application – web apps or thick apps within a published desktops like Citrix, VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft AVD, etc.
- How to check that web apps used by your employees are not just responsive but working as expected – this is critical for businesses that rely on SaaS applications like Office 365 and Salesforce
- How to validate that employees are able to logon to published desktops AND perform routine tasks in applications like SAP and Epic
- How to correlate the performance of the application with the underlying IT infrastructure to determine if bottlenecks are on the users’ network, in the third-party application or within your infrastructure
If you are struggling to be proactive, or to shift from monitoring resources to monitoring the digital experience of your users, then you need to attend this webinar to see just how easy it is to get started with synthetic monitoring.

Grails & DevOps: continuous integration and delivery in the cloudGR8Conf
Nowadays, companies require very short release cycles, especially in lean startup environments.
But to release often:
deployments should be routine, not terrifying.
configuration should require a few clicks, not a thousand-line shell script.
problems should be easy to spot, not buried in a log file.
You are a developer that need to release every week or every day with a single git commit and zero-downtime? Easily spot release performance or bugs issues? If required, roll back to previous version in few seconds and one click? And you don't want to manage any dedicated repository, monitoring, build, staging, production servers? So this talk is for you!
We will explore Lean startup and DevOps concepts and share our experience on how to create a simple and fully automated build pipeline for Grails apps with a live demo, based on SaaS/cloud services: GitHub, Travis CI, NewRelic, AWS (ElasticBeanstalk, CloudFront), etc.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Trail running metaphor
What we have seen is, for many companies, planning a cloud strategy is like staring a forest from a distance….Hard to discern, difficult to navigate, everything looks the same.
So today, my goal is to help go from something like this..
To this…
I want to provide a path through the trees. Provide a beautiful path, with clear steps.
Here is what we’re going to cover today.
Try my best to avoid giving the marketing pitch – give you 1-2 original ideas that you can think about
“Groundswell”
Important inflection point in IT history
Most significant change in IT’s mission in 20 year
This groundswell is raising expectations of IT, CEO expect CIOs to lead digital transformation of the enterprise
Gartner
CEOs Are Signaling the First Significant Change to IT's Mission in More Than 20 Years
Published: 10 April 2014
But paradoxically, CIO have not been given the budget (or at least control) the budget for digital transformation. This, by in large, has been given to the line of business.
This is all of the stuff the CEO and board members care about – projects that drive top line growth, innovation, process differentiation
(Gartner, 2014)
Our take…
Do you agree? Anyone else in this room challenged with the same set of issues?
Seems like a permanent reality.
Public cloud services are an important accelerant to business change. But, despite the wide spread acceptance of public cloud among businesses, only 8% of overall enterprise workloads have moved to the public cloud. The reality is – for many organizations - the advantages of speed, scale, economic flexibility and agility still do not out-weigh the perceived cost (and perceived risk) of sacrificing enterprise standardization, control, security and compliance. Most enterprise CIO are rationalizing these trade-offs and continue maintain status quo.
There has no service in the market today that balances seemingly divergent needs of enterprise cloud computing. We recognized this, and set forth on a path to create an enterprise cloud service that bridged the needs of CIOs and enterprise IT leaders, with the advantages that line-of-business developers have grown to expect with typical public cloud services.
This concept we call HYBRID.
For us, it’s as much of a business principle as it is a technical characteristic of our service.
For today’s session – I’ll concentrate on the technical aspects of the service and the business opportunities created through what we deliver.
As some of you may have caught from the keynote on Day 1 with Bill Fathers, Executive VP and GM of the Hybrid Cloud business unit here at VMware, our Infrastructure as a Service offering, vCloud Hybrid Service is now known as vCloud Air. You may hear it used interchangeably here at VMworld, as the name update just happened on Friday, August 22nd. Just wanted to draw attention to the name change to prevent confusion during the presentation today.
