Nomination Title: Xangati XSR12

Tell the story about this nominated product or service (up to 650 words). Describe its function, features, benefits, and performance to date:

XSR12, Xangati’s major update to its Xangati Product Suite, expands the company’s offering to bring its complete and predictive view of performance management to highly dynamic and elastic cloud environments. XSR12 is the only comprehensive, highly scalable solution that provides patented Application-Aware Infrastructure Intelligence for an enterprise’s worldwide computing infrastructure of client, desktops, servers, networking and storage. XSR12 delivers second-by-second, end-to-end high fidelity visibility and rapid triage with remediation recommendations so you can fix contention issues before they affect the user experience.

XSR12 is designed to ensure a consistently superior user experience for Citrix XenApp® users and supersize the informative value of Citrix Netscaler™ ADC and AppFlow™ with a fully integrated view of application activity and infrastructure performance. XSR12 also integrates fully with infrastructures designed on the FlexPod converged infrastructure, providing native support of Cisco™ FlexPod™ Unified Computing System’s (UCS) Virtual Interface Card and NetApp™ storage devices.

FlexPod consists of NetApp FAS storage and the Cisco UCS with either VMware or Microsoft virtualization technology to provide a proven integrated approach to the cloud. XSR12 protects this stack by adding comprehensive performance intelligence to the existing traditional corporate infrastructure. With its new support of Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines, XSR12 now offers seamless integration with both Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere virtual machines in a common dashboard.

With XSR12, Xangati brings two dashboards, the Virtual App Dashboard and the Web App Dashboard, to support Citrix XenApp and web-based applications, respectively. Fully integrated with HDX technologies that provide a native touch-enabled look-and-feel for demanding 3D applications, XSR12 gives performance insights to help deliver the fullest value in any Citrix XenApp deployment. The XSR12 Web App Dashboard tracks performance metrics in high fidelity for every URL across the infrastructure by integrating with Citrix Netscaler ADC’s Appflow, providing impactful and actionable insight in real-time, while the user is still fully engaged.

Only Xangati’s patented, distributed, scale-out architecture enables enterprises to track millions of web interactions second-by-second, allowing rapid response to performance issues and sophisticated predictive analytics to remediate any potential risk of downtime. Xangati XSR12 learns instantly from these interactions and correlates various cross-silo metrics into new performance, availability and relative-capacity indices to assure the best end-user experience.
