Measuring Real Latency — The Missing Piece in VDI Performance Latency isn’t just a number you pull from monitoring tools. It’s about the delay users feel, the gap between when they click and when something actually happens on their screen. In virtual desktop environments, traditional latency metrics (like server response times or network delays) only tell part of the story. Users interact with their device locally, so the real question is: how long does it take until their sc

Recently I got involved in multiple projects implementing and resolving issues relating FSlogix. At the same time I noticed that as of Login Enterprise 5.4 session metrics can be displayed in load and continuous tests. This doesn’t sound big but is actually filling a big gap for IT consultants using this tool! With session metrics you can capture performance counters from within the session during the test and take that with you in the test results without an additional agen

Last week I had the privilege to attend to VMware Explore in Barcelona! A lot of awesome sessions, meeting friends, acquaintances and getting a beer (or two…or...) During the trip one of the customers who accompanied us pointed out to me if we ever looked at power consumption and the possibility to reduce it. Personally it did cross my mind but to be honest most of the time we put everything in high performance to get the best performance possible. The world has changed, pric

Let’s do one about Citrix Provisioning, Windows Performance Counters, Telegraf and InfluxDB Cloud! In previous blogs I have shown before the power of visualizing data. Of course there are awesome tools out there. Sometimes there is an issue in a customer environment and you just want to start measuring a.s.a.p. At my current employer we do a lot of Citrix Provisioning. Normally this performs really well but when there are issues its kind of hard to get the full picture espec

Well... its not a secret anymore that I like Grafana and the prebuild appliance Sexigraf. One of my favourite dashboards is VMware VM/ VMware All Cluster Top N VM stats. Altough this dashboard gives me a lot of usefull data it only shows me the hypervisor layer. As an EUC consultant one of the things I always wonder... how are these numbers relating to the number of session at that specific time window.. like CPU ready, memory etc etc.... What if... I can capture the session

In my daily job insight in performance statistics of the VMware vSphere environment can make my job al lot easier. When going live with a newly build environment or especially when there is an issue with performance. Getting meassurements is key here so the discussion is about facts and not about assumptions. The effect of the changes you implement are shown (or not so you can continue the quest). Of course there are solutions out there like vRops but licenses can be an issue
