We’re thrilled to spotlight a notable addition to our MetrixInsight for VAD/DaaS suite: the SCOM MP crafted specifically for Citrix Federated Authentication Service(FAS). The suite seamlessly integrates the entire Citrix® infrastructure into SCOM, encompassing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix DaaS, Citrix License Server, Citrix Provisioning Services, Citrix StoreFront, NetScaler ADC and now Citrix FAS.

In the complex and dynamic landscape of modern IT environments, the availability and smooth functioning of Citrix StoreFront are paramount. Citrix StoreFront is responsible for providing users with access to their virtual apps and desktops, but what ensures this seamless accessibility?
