Agentless Rollout
- Fast, Simple and Efficient rollout without the use of any agents.
- No special approvals needed from any application owner.
- Perform Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and automatically classify over 3,500 applications (web, database, Saas, web conferencing, websites, healthcare, financial, etc.) running in your VDI environment.
- Monitor any 3rd party application or Saas applications with ease.
Automated VDI Components Discovery
- Reduced time to value with Automated discovery of VDI Components (end-to-end from user clients to virtual desktops to backend application and connection servers) and all interdependencies for VMware Horizon and Citrix deployments.
- Troubleshoot issues proactively directly from the Dependency Map down to the Application, Network or Infrastructure.
- No manual updates or interventions needed to build the Dependency mapping. Install Uila, and we will build the maps automatically with NO code changes needed.
- Identify challenges with individual applications running for every VDI user and virtual desktop.
Troubleshoot at High Velocity with Root-Cause Analysis

- Monitor application performance and perform rapid root-cause analysis and reduce MTTR from days to minutes.
- Utilize continuous Machine Learning (ML) & Behavior Learning algorithms to identify anomalies from performance baselines instead of manual guesstimates, to provide unprecedented level of accuracy.
- Identify if VDI issues are due to the Infrastructure resources, Virtual or Physical Network, Application transaction issues, Authorization & Authentication issues, etc.
- Real-time or time travel in the past to detect and solve intermittent issues.
- Create customized VDI Dashboard for overall health visibiliy, and for comparing performance across pools, sites, etc.
VDI Horizon/Omnissa User Session Analysis
- Visualize session data for your entire VDI deployment or customize view for your Pools, Pods or Sites.
- Insights into detailed user sessions for VDI Horizon/Omnissa deployments. Visualize Active, idle and disconnected sessions.
- Visualize username, associated virtual desktop VM, session start time, pool or farm information, etc.
- Measure time for every stage in the logon process like broker duration, agent duration, app launch duration, etc. and isolate issues leading to failed or slow logons.
- Visualization of Blast Extreme and PCOIP RX and TX Packet Loss, Round-Trip Time, User session latency, bandwidth, etc.
- Insights into Application traffic from VDI desktop as a client connects to application servers (e.g. Zoom, ERP, Databases, EHR, etc.)
- Detailed information on the Windows Desktop Processes.
Nvidia GPU Monitoring
- Intelligent NVIDIA GPU metrics using the NVIDIA System Management Interface (NVSMI) to allow desktops teams to provide the maximized performance for GPU-enabled virtual desktops.
- Critical GPU insights like VM-level Peak GPU usage, frame buffer, GPU decoder/encoder usage, memory usage, etc. for the individual user sessions.
- GPU host level metrics like GPU ID, driver version, peak VM counts, peak/average GPU & memory usage.
- User-friendly GPU usage report to be delivered at a time of their convenience.
End-User Behavior Analytics
- End-user response time tracking proactively alerts IT to service degradation from the user's perspective before user and revenue impact.
- Response time analysis breaks down delays by the server, WAN network, or the client device.
- Site-by-site and client-by-client analysis isolates and correlates user issues to the real root cause, thus speeding up troubleshooting time.
Pinpoint Storage issues impacting VDI performance
- Monitor Storage performance and isolate issues across multiple vendor’s storage arrays on a 24 x 7 basis.
- Visualize trending performance issues on Read/Write latencies and IOPS across VMs, vDisk and Data Stores.
- Visualize and get automatically alerted on disk capacity challenges impacting VDI performance.
- Simplify capacity planning procedures with insights into storage hotspots.
Visualize Network Traffic issues impacting VDI performance
- Visualize how the application network traffic traverses across physical devices, virtual entities & Application Services, to pinpoint network hot spots impacting application performance.
- Review Network Round Trip Time, Traffic Volume, Retries, Packet Drops, Application Response Time for each application.
- Top-down visualization approach from the Application or Business Service to its correlated Infrastructure and Network root cause for faster root cause resolution.
- Isolate issues down to the Server, WAN network or Remote client device for your Remote workforce.
Rightsize and Optimize your VDI Deployment
