As cloud providers and infrastructure technologies grow their support for Windows containers, developers who use the Windows ecosystem are more and more able to enjoy the benefits of containerization. It’s quicker and easier than ever to modernize and deploy applications that use Windows-specific frameworks like .NET. Plus, Windows developers can use orchestration services like Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, or Docker Swarm to manage the complexity that containerized environments introduce.

As I wrote in a previous blog post, the world has undergone massive changes that have created chaos for CIOs as they struggle to ensure operational continuity, including when in scenarios where things change in an unprecedented fashion overnight.

eG Innovations has been a Citrix partner since 2003. Those were the days when Citrix’s messaging was around “access”. Thin client computing and then server-based computing were the hot topics. Discussions around the efficiency of RDP and ICA ruled and Citrix Resource Manager was the best way to monitor a Citrix server. What was then Citrix MetaFrame soon became Citrix Presentation Server, then Citrix XenApp, and now Citrix Virtual Apps.

SaaS monitoring platforms must provide a flexible set of capabilities to their customers. A platform with the ability to adjust according to business needs reduces costs (e.g. the cost to switch) and tool sprawl since the need to perform different monitoring functions can be accommodated in a single place. A monitoring platform should allow you to adjust, for example: Not all digital experience monitoring platforms are the same.

After my last blog around sending Github Data to Splunk via Webhooks, I received a healthy amount of feedback that I want to address here. I learned that (unsurprisingly) a lot of customers are curious about, or dependant on, other cloud platforms out there.
