Xangati Analytics Engine Verified as Citrix Ready

Virtualized data centers that support a hybrid blend of private and public cloud infrastructure are becoming more and more common, and organizations are looking for better analytics and insight to support increasingly complex environments.  Xangati (News - Alert) specializes in providing virtualization performance monitoring as well as service assurance analytics, and the company has just been verified as Citrix (News - Alert) Ready.

Xangati’s second-by-second analytics engine achieved the milestone, which means the solution provides deep root cause insights and performance metrics for Citrix cloud analytics. This is achieved via support for the Citrix XenServer hypervisor, in use by more than half of all XenDesktop deployments for virtual infrastructure. The Xen Project hypervisor at the core of XenServer currently powers more than 80 percent of public clouds and hosting providers today, including reigning IaaS leader AWS.

"The drive to run multiple applications across a converged infrastructure in a more dynamic, software-defined datacenter and virtual workplace brings tangible customer benefits but also unpredictable performance problems and shared resource inefficiency challenges," said Atchison Frazer, vice president of marketing, Xangati. "Xangati, with deep analysis and contention-storm visibility into XenServer and Citrix applications, helps reduce performance risk and save administrative time by transcending traditional infrastructure monitoring solutions that are silo-specific and application unaware, and app performance tools that lack visibility to infrastructure."

Through its new Citrix Ready status, Xangati has added XenServer to its range of Citrix support, including insights for XenDesktop, XenApp and NetScaler. The company’s solution runs as a XenServer guest VM and offers a number of service assurance analytics, including performance problem triage and prevention as well as real-time performance and efficiency monitoring.

In addition to AWS, XenServer is in use by a number of key cloud IaaS players including Rackspace, 1&1 Internet, IBM SoftLayer (News - Alert) and Korea Telecom. Xangati’s new Citrix Ready status opens the company’s solution to a massive marketplace of cloud service providers offering virtual infrastructure.
