Do you also find yourself confused by all the Open-this and Open-that names flying around? There are currently a good few Open projects, standards, tools – OpenTelemetry, OpenTracing, OpenCensus, OpenSearch… heck, even my podcast is called OpenObservability! And new Open names seem to be popping up every other day. If you too feel this way, there’s no need. Many feel similarly confused.

We wanted to give developers a concise but comprehensive view of if a release was healthy, errored, or experiencing abnormal crash sessions across multiple projects.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a webinar together with Goliath Technologies about what we need to consider before moving your VDI workloads to Public Cloud. In this blog post I will try and write a summary of the various stages that should be part of the journey and also some of the pitfalls that you can encounter when moving your VDI workload to Public Cloud.

Enterprise administrators often feel blamed for performance issues that they don’t have any visibility into. While these virtual environments are constantly monitored to deliver strong performance for end users, the way they are typically viewed can leave us assuming that individual user performance is okay when it may not be. When monitoring a Citrix environment, typically your storage, network, and other infrastructure are monitored separately.
