How to Extend Microsoft SCOM to Monitor & Diagnose the Performance of Citrix,...eG Innovations
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is a leading platform for performance monitoring and management of Microsoft applications (such as Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, IIS and SharePoint). However, SCOM does not have extensive capabilities to monitor non-Microsoft systems and applications (like Citrix, SAP, Oracle, Java, Sybase, etc.), nor does SCOM have virtualization-awareness for platforms like VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, AIX LPARs and Solaris LDOMs, or virtual desktops (VDI).
To extend the scope of Microsoft SCOM to manage these environments, enterprises have to look at multiple third party products that provide individual management packs, one for each specific non-Microsoft platform.

Microsoft, Citrix and SCOM: EOL or a New Beginning ?eG Innovations
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
Application architectures have become more distributed, heterogeneous, and reliant on supporting infrastructure tiers. In 2018, we are seeing customers beginning to realize they need to expand their application performance monitoring (APM) capabilities to provide visibility of these supporting IT infrastructure components.
Application managers and IT teams are realizing that they need contextual visibility into how an infrastructure problem affects application performance, and seek APM solutions that can cross-correlate code-level and transaction-level performance with the health of the supporting physical, virtual, container and cloud infrastructures.
Watch this on-demand webinar and learn why this cross-correlation is so important and what's required to achieve it:
• Why monitoring applications in isolation will not be enough to monitor digital business service performance
• What's required for the enterprise to achieve total performance visibility
• How you can build an incremental plan for achieving transparency in digital service performance monitoring
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration
Citrix Troubleshooting 101: How to Resolve and Prevent Business-Impacting Cit...eG Innovations
One of the most challenging tasks for a Citrix administrator is when a user calls in complaining of a Citrix problem: logon is slow, session is getting disconnected, application launch is slow, session itself is slow, etc. So, how does a Citrix admin go about solving these issues? A Citrix infrastructure has many tiers and dependencies. Where do you start looking, what do you analyze, and how do you triage?

How to simplify the monitoring of multi-cloud environmentseG Innovations
According to Gartner, 75% of enterprise customers have adopted a multi-cloud strategy. While this is good from an organizational and resilience standpoint, the increased complexity, management and monitoring could reduce or even outweigh the benefits.
For ITOps, multi-cloud deployments are now a reality. They have more services to monitor, more dashboards to keep an eye on, no common console and potentially higher MTTR. The adoption of microservices and Kubernetes makes the problem more challenging.
In this webinar, how multi-cloud monitoring and end-to-end visibility can be simplified by walking you through how to troubleshoot common performance problems in a multi-cloud setup in minutes.
How to get full, end-to-end visibility into your multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployment so you can visually see where the root-cause of the performance problem is
Troubleshooting a live microservices web-application deployed on-premises, AWS and Azure, and a tech stack that includes Kubernetes, Docker and Java
How to find the real-user experience of your multi-cloud application and see what issues your users in different geo-locations are facing
Identify which pages in a web application have the highest page-load time
How to use business transaction tracing to identify the database query or micro-service that is impacting application performance
Migrating to the Cloud – Is Application Performance Monitoring still required?eG Innovations
As more businesses adopt cloud technologies for their various benefits it must be noted that not all cloud offerings are the same and provide different services or infra SLA. Do you know that not all SLA from cloud providers mean your application will be ensured similar availability?
Depending on whether you are leveraging Saas, Paas, Iaas, etc to deliver your applications, you will have a different level of visibility and control of how you manage performance and deliver the user experience expected by your users.
Join the session and find out what remains within your responsibility and how you can monitor the various cloud infrastructure/services to give yourself the needed visibility to deliver the expected user experience without over-provisioning to ensure better performance.

Digital Workspaces and the Customer ExperienceeG Innovations
Customer experience is driving the digital age, and with the number of digital workers exploding the bar for assuring the digital user experience is quickly being raised — and not every enterprise is ready.
Fragmented monitoring approaches can make it all but impossible to connect the dots between complex, heterogeneous technical ecosystems, and the customer’s digital journey. The digital workspace can be a logical first step towards digital transformation but connecting the dots between ‘X-data’ (experience or XLA data) and ‘O-data’ (operational or SLA data) is not trivial.
In this webinar, John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations and an XLA Master, shows us:
-What role the Experience Level Agreement plays in the digital workspace
-The importance of unified, end-user-oriented views of digital workspace performance
-How converged APM/IPM can accelerate your customer experience journey

How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times?eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also on productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
