The SCOM management packs for Citrix are reaching End Of Life this month. You can move to a standalone monitoring solution like Citrix Director, but this means you will no longer be able to use Microsoft SCOM as the single unified monitoring console for your organization. You now have a chance to convert the EOL into a new beginning. The eG Universal management pack for SCOM provides you with the best Citrix monitoring solution integrated tightly with your SCOM environment. What is more, you can also monitor other non-Microsoft technologies without needing additional management packs. Learn more on, how you can make End Of Life for your Citrix SCOM management packs bring new life into your SCOM environment: •Learn how to augment SCOM with logon simulation and deep Citrix domain expertise •Leverage patented analytics for all your applications, Azure cloud services, and infrastructure •Get code-level correlation for .NET applications and quickly isolate performance issues

Editor's Notes
- Welcome to today’s webinar where we’ll be talking about monitoring in Microsoft and Citrix environments...and specifically how you can use eG Enterprise not only to replace the Citrix SCOM management pack but use it to re-invigorate your performance monitoring for your SCOM environment.
- Before we begin let me go over a few logistics...my name’s John Worthington and I’ll be moderating and presenting our session today...and with me is Nanda Kumar, our Director of Solutions Engineering....welcome Nanda. All participants can submit questions through the chat panel...we’ll have a couple of breaks for questions and if we can’t get to your question you will get an answer via email after the webinar.... ...and all participants will get a copy of the recording...we’ll send you a link in a few days
- Ok, let’s go over the agenda... I’d like to quickly review what we monitor for both Microsoft and Citrix...including a quick demo...we’ll take a few quick questions and then I’d like Nanda to give us a tour of our universal management pack for SCOM, with a particular focus on Citrix since the Citrix SCOM management pack has reached end of life.... We’ll take a few more questions again and then I’d like to briefly describe how customers can leverage eG’s converged APM/IPM technology to breath new life into performance monitoring for SCOM environments.... Then we’ll wrap it up with some final questions and let you know where you can get more information...
- OK, let’s begin by briefly looking at what eG Enterprise can bring to the table for Microsoft and Citrix environments....
- eG Innovations has had a Technology Partnership with Microsoft for well over a decade....not only do we support Microsoft and Azure applications, but we can also extend the monitoring capabilities of SCOM to other non-Microsoft components...including Vmware, Oracle, SAP, and many more...and of course Citrix.
- We’ve been answering the question ‘why is my application slow’ for customers for 2 decades now....from our original monitoring of web apps in the early days, to business services, virtualization, cloud, apm and most recently containers and kubernetes... <click> ...from a Citrix perspective, we support all of the Citrix components--- including Citrix cloud --- in fact, Citrix has selected eG Innovations for their major trade shows since 2014 and recently expanded our relationship to include performance monitoring of their global demo centers ....
- Let’s take a quick peek at the monitor in Microsoft and Citrix environments...this will be just a peek at what we can do, and much of this happens behind the scenes for SCOM users...if you’d like a deeper dive just contact us to arrange a technical briefing on whichever area you’re most interested in... <go to demo> Ok, now I’d like to pass the ball to Nanda who’ll take us on a tour of the universal management pack for scom.... And while I’m passing him the ball we can take a few questions...
- <demo> Let’s take a few more questions....
- Make SCOM a unified solution for performance monitoring, by leveraging a single management pack from eG Innovations.... Get rid of the cost and complexity of managing multiple management packs, accelerate problem diagnosis and resolution and if needed access eG Enterprise for deeper analysis.
- <Click> starting with a Citrix digital workspace can provide you with a quick win and start building some capabilities around the monitor.... <CLICK> then you can easily add packaged application support and expand the monitoring where appropriate.... <CLICK> Of course you can also expand to custom applications and leverage our converged APM/IPM architecture....this can include whatever automation and integration needed...whether that’s SCOM, DevOps or other automation requirements.
- Every customer's path is different, but regardless of your particular path you can get total performance visibility for your SCOM environment with eG Enterprise and and a 360-degree view of your end users digital experience.
