Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile Performance - 5 Steps for a Better BYOD Experi...eG Innovations
Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile are at the heart of the mobility strategies for many enterprises and service providers. As you embark on your mobility initiatives, you will need to ensure that users receive reliable and high performing service. Performance monitoring, diagnosis and reporting is a key to ensuring the success of your Citrix mobility initiatives. Watch this webinar "Performance Monitoring and Analytics for Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile" and see first-hand how to address performance-related challenges of Citrix mobile infrastructures.
During this webinar Citrix virtualization expert Bala Vaidinathan (CTO, eG Innovations) will demonstrate how eG Innovations' new performance monitoring solution for Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile allows you to:
• Monitor every layer, every tier of your Citrix mobile infrastructure
• Be alerted to performance problems proactively before your users notice and complain
• Identify exactly where the root-cause of any problems in the Citrix mobile infrastructure lie, so you can initiate remedial action quickly
• Gain a holistic end-to-end view of the Citrix infrastructure (including XenApp and XenDesktop), understand usage trends and bottlenecks and plan effectively for growth
• Customize real-time dashboards and create targeted reports to deliver timely, concise information that is relevant and valuable to each technical and management team member
Virtualization technology is helping to drive an increase in the utilization of computing assets while allowing managers to reduce operating costs through data center consolidation. However, in a recent CIO Magazine survey across 3000 customers throughout the world, there was a 42% jump in those reporting that virtualization has increased the complexity of their data centers. This complexity is being driven by the following issues as CIOs and IT managers work to combine the virtual data center with the their physical data center: * Virtual sprawl
* Consolidated Event Management
* Provisioning & Compliance
* Change & Configuration Management
In this 45 minute webinar, Pepperweed Consulting will discuss these issues and outline a roadmap and architecture using HP BTO Software solutions to ensure that you do not miss an operational beat and maximize your investment in virtualization technology.

Role of Mobility in Workplace TransformationAVI-SPL
Mobility is changing the workplace and the way agencies serve the public.
Mobile technology is by far the biggest factor driving change in the modern workplace. And government agencies are not immune. Mobile has revolutionized traditional employment with concepts like BYOD, remote working, and the virtual workplace, and while the private sector is definitely the frontrunner in embracing the digitally driven work environment, government agencies are beginning to dip their feet into mobility and mobile-driven concepts. Modern agencies need a strong tech adoption strategy, including cloud, federated networks, and other scalable option. Download our free whitepaper to learn how state government can deploy these solutions while still remaining focused on simplicity, security, and the risks related to BYOD > http://hubs.ly/H01bxm50
Today, technology should play a central role in all aspects of government. Agencies already using digital technology are experiencing myriad benefits, ranging from increased efficiency of citizen-facing services, to the ability to better conduct internal processes.

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).

Historical Video Conferencing: Homogeneous, room-based …. proprietary islands Connected via proprietary management systems Duplicate databases and directories Requiring video ‘overlay’ or dedicated network Limited scale and reach into organization Heavy care & feeding needed Networks were built ‘outside-in’ – start with EP’s, move to multipoint, requiring management solutions… larger in scale, but no deeper in reach or integration Still just video islands calling video islands
Video Enabled UC -Inside out approach – the ‘shift’ in thinking starting with the core communication network -Video integrated into existing call control and business applications -The ‘Collaboration Core’ is created – not just talking head rooms calling talking head rooms -Collaboration core requires direct integration with mission critical applications and communication engines – Presence, IM, Directory and extending to ‘visual’: Provisioning, Bridging, Recording Streaming, Reporting -Reach of endpoints rapidly expands beyond talking head rooms to: desktop, mobile and immersive telepresence
What are the attributes of VC2? How will VC2 differ from traditional video conferencing? The interfaces people use will no longer be intimidating; they’ll be intuitive. Their experiences won’t be characterized by delay and jittery images. They’ll be instantaneous and in high definition. In the traditional world, people conversed in conference rooms; in the VC2 world, visual communication will take place anywhere, at anytime. An intermediary is required to assist users in the traditional model; users in the VC2 world will serve themselves. Traditional videoconferencing is telecom oriented; VC2 is IT-friendly. And traditional videoconferencing runs on a standalone, overlay network; VC2 runs on a converged, IP infrastructure However, none of this comes auto-magically…. The solution must be architected (NOT ADAPTED) to deliver: -Scale -Consistent Mgmt -Corporate Directory Support An open, standards-based solution is a must!
Beginning with it’s Collaboration Core, Polycom provides a highly scalable and standards-based solutions architecture throughout the enterprise to provide for (slide builds): Robust communications management and conferencing platforms which directly integrate with the UC ecosystem for fully interoperable call control To a complete portfolio of High Definition (HD) voice, video, and telepresence collaboration solutions that provide an easy to use and best-in-class user experience throughout the enterprise … Not only at HQ, Regional Offices, and small regional offices, but also to teleworkers, partners/customers, and even across legacy networks in the field Go to next slide …..
Currently on Site Topology you can view the video network, site details (bandwidth, site name, country code, etc.), and you can drag and move it around to have it look visually the way you want. No “world view” and no ability to drill down into a site. New CMA puts the topology on top of a world map so operator can visually see each continent and how their network is set up geographically. Additionally, from this view, they can drill down into the sites and get more information about what’s happening in each location.
Let’s take the example where a customer has deployed Polycom endpoints and has infrastructure at their headquarters or NOC including at least CMA and RMX, if not additionally DMA, VMC or RSS recording and streaming. They are a Microsoft Exchange customer – using MS Outlook and Sharepoint in their organization. They are looking to expand the video usage in their company and have the following needs or concerns: Easily adding video to any meeting – when trying to schedule a meeting in outlook, they need an easy way to add video to that meeting without having ot know IP addresses of conference rooms or individuals Quickly connect to video meeting from Outlook meeting “pop up” – if I have desktop video conferencing, I would like a link that takes me right to the video meeting (similar to LiveMeeting links in an Outlook invite) from the invite I get for the meeting. Simply record desired meetings – without having to know the IP address of the recording server and without having to go through the menu of the recording server – I just want to choose “record” Efficiently access recorded content – After recording, I need an easy way to find and distribute or post the recorded content – I don’t have time to look for it in a menu of other recordings that have happened that day. Extending access to connect during video meeting without having to refer to computer, PDA – oftentimes I need to quickly add another person or access specific content during a meeting – I’d like to be able to do that within the video meeting – not have to figure out a way to do it separately.
With VC2 Wave 2, calendaring is the key way people will create meetings with video By installing a simple, one-time plug in at the desktop – the netowrk administrator gives all users access to add video to a meeting, or create a video meeting. An icon will show up in the Outlook scheduler window Directly schedule all needed resources Conference details embedded in each invite VMR’s assigned to each meeting randomly which lessens the risk of overlapping meetings or double-scheduling Simply click “join the meeting” and CMAD or MOC will place the call – which ever video client is associated with your profile. You could also have an HDX associated with your profile. If you do, the HDX will ask you if you’d like to join the meeting at the time of the meeting
These are some possible on-screen options for the upcoming HDX interface for meeting rooms. We’ve worked hard to make 1 option for a home screen (currently we have 2) and included on that home screen all the most likely things a user would need to do. When Calendar is pressed, the room’s Outlook calendar will be displayed, showing the meetings scheduled in that room. The meetings can be marked as Private (like the one shown below) where no information about that meeting is available in Outlook – or Public – where the attendees, agenda, etc. are available for participants as they walk into the room. You can join the meeting by pressing the green call button in the invite.
