SysTrack + VMware

Plan and manage your VMware environment for optimal end-user experience.

Validate and monitor your VMware virtualized environment

Many organizations are investigating tools to help provide insight into the environment and end-user behavior. The challenge is some tools providing insight into a virtual environment do not support a physical environment, and the tools that do support the physical desktop community often suffer limitations with scalability or are extremely costly. SysTrack provides visibility into both physical and virtual environments without scalability limitations.

Streamline your ITSM and reduce MTTR

VMware Horizon

VMware Horizon enables organizations to deliver digital workspaces on demand. The solution provisions virtual or remote desktops and applications through a single VDI and app virtualization platform to streamline management and easily entitle end users. SysTrack provides comprehensive pre-virtualization analysis, modeling and planning support for enterprises and data centers.

With a SysTrack-led assessment and user segmentation analysis, users who are great candidates for Horizon will be identified and can be moved to the next phase while other users can either stay the course or consider other VMware solutions.

vSphere

vSphere is VMware’s virtualization platform designed for building cloud infrastructures. With vSphere, VMware supports today’s digital transformation: from data center consolidation to business continuity to enhancing application performance to operation automation.

By optimizing VMware Horizon and VMware ThinApp implementations, SysTrack enables IT to fully exploit their VMware vSphere configurations and maximize IT infrastructure efficiency.

vRealize Operations (vROPs)

VMware vRealize Operations together with SysTrack provide the visibility necessary to support a VMware Horizon environment exactly when you need it most. Auditing and monitoring of any Windows-based device can be easily accomplished with SysTrack to ensure a better level of IT service is delivered to the end-user community at a lower overall cost.

vRealize Operations and SysTrack together provide deep insight into the end-user environment, giving IT a clear understanding of usage patterns and the health of the user environment. These solutions also provide actionable intelligence, giving IT the specific data needed to make implementation decisions that will better utilize IT resources and deliver superior user experience.

App Volumes

App Volumes is a real-time application delivery system that helps you instantly deliver applications and manage the application lifecycle. One of the most compelling aspects of the VMware portfolio, App Volumes allows for detailed management of user application entitlements and ThinApp packages without complicated provisioning.

But how can you optimize delivery of this solution?

SysTrack helps you map out a complete plan for App Volumes implementation by reviewing which users and groups require a core set of applications to develop workload groupings for virtual desktops. After helping you design your ideal App Volumes implementation and use cases, SysTrack helps you maintain an optimized VMware environment by continuously monitoring it for any declines in key performance metrics.

AirWatch

AirWatch by VMware expands the management ability of IT administrators into mobile devices outside of the traditionally managed ecosystem by enabling application distribution policy solutions and store management for mobile devices. With SysTrack, you can now determine if AirWatch is right for your management of existing systems or BYOD, identify which candidates may benefit from mobile management, design a smooth implementation, and continuously monitor your AirWatch environment.

“We are pleased to work with Lakeside on their assessment, management, and optimization offering that provides tangible guidance on how to take full advantage of VMware Horizon. SysTrack enables customers to fully use VMware Horizon by helping maximize IT infrastructure efficiency and delivering a comprehensive desktop experience.”

– Eric Frieberg, Former Vice President, Marketing End-User Computing, VMware

Whether it’s an assessment of existing traditional or Citrix environments, transformation/migration to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, or monitoring and managing the entire environment, SysTrack offers advanced analytics and insights for IT and the business. Our digital experience management solution delivers tight integration with Citrix Director, AppDNA, HDX 3D Pro Graphics, and GPU monitoring and sizing. Today, some of the largest Citrix production environments have been built based on Lakeside’s end-user assessments, and are continuously monitored and optimized by our unique solution.

Ask SysTrack for Citrix

With Ask SysTrack for Citrix, administrators can ask questions about their Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environments using natural language — such as “Do I have any Citrix licensing issues?” or “Do I have any unregistered Citrix sessions?” — and be taken directly to the screen in the Citrix Director console where relevant Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops system or session details can be garnered.

Additionally, a Lakeside plugin for Citrix Director allows user experience trends to be viewed natively within the Citrix Director interface. This gives Citrix administrators visibility into the historical user experience of desktop groups, enabling them to quickly and intuitively realize and understand current performance and potential performance issues. Links into the Lakeside platform interface are available so they can drill down to even more detail.

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Ensure peak application and system efficiency in Citrix environments.

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployed in the cloud, in a hybrid environment, or on-premises provide on-demand application delivery that can significantly simplify IT application management and improve user experience. Realizing these benefits requires deep insight into application and resource usage.

Citrix AppDNA

Lead fast and accurate implementations through insight into software utilization.

AppDNA helps organizations analyze existing applications and determine their ability to run on new environments and operating systems. Today, AppDNA uses Lakeside’s solution to access key end-user and endpoint data for immediate remediation instruction and packaging, informed rationalization decisions, use case planning, and more. With the two solutions, IT teams have the ability to directly feed decisions derived from real world data into a remediation engine directly so that instead of an extended reporting phase and time-consuming manual data import process, information is presented on demand for rapid drafting and what-if analysis. More importantly, through Lakeside use case planning, critical provisioning choices are already prepared for AppDNA remediation.

SysTrack end-user analytics significantly facilitate desktop transformation assessments and issue resolution initiatives, helping customers accelerate the benefits of desktop virtualization and validate the path to Citrix XenDesktop implementations.

Proactively resolve problems with AIOps

Diagnose and resolve complex IT estate issues by shifting from reactive to predictive. Serve more end users by using analytics and AI to enable proactive ticket avoidance, resolve issues where behavior changes are necessary, and send quick, targeted end-user communications.

Pinpoint to root cause of problems

Root cause analysis boosts efficiency and improves the performance of business-critical technologies by treating the source of the problem rather than symptoms. Prevent repeat issues, user downtime, and escalating support tickets, reduce MTTR and save IT time for higher-level tasks.

Use automation to apply fixes at scale

Automate self-service and proactive service delivery at scale with generative AI and promote mass-self-healing of endpoints using the power of large language models so you can bring proactive IT solutions to the systems employees use every day and meet them where they are: On Slack, Teams, or other messaging solution.
