The data collected has been transformed into actionable information through easy to read visualisations. A key feature for us has been the local data storage of data on the end point and the aggregation of only necessary information at the central site. We have made use of the health score for end user experience measurement as a business KPI.

The tool was used to measure new applications to ensure that they were not consuming high CPU and thus resulting in capacity issues or latency for the end users. It was also used to ensure that end users were not accessing non work related web sites which often caused high cpu consumption.

• Trends & reporting (CPU, boot time, memory usage, apps, etc). Proper analysis of poor computer performance can be obtained to determine who to be replaced first on replacement programmes, for example. Trends/reporting is also a useful monitoring tool for troubleshooting devices with performance issues. • Device reporting by models (amount on estate). Whilst its possible to do this via SCCM, Systrack can do this within a few clicks. It will however need a lookup table to convert Lenovo model numbers into readable model names although Systrack have worked with us to ensure these are converted. • Web history logging for security purposes • Dependencies – the ability to see the full chain of what the device is connected to & latencies to identify any performance/network issues with particular servers. • Application discovery – to quickly identify applications installed on the device – similar function in SCCM but its nice to have this all in one place. • Accurate last login for users on devices, as well as all devices they have logged into. This data is on SCCM but Systrack makes it much easier to pull this data all together.

We used Systrack a lot as a data source to allow for modelling of end user resource costs to plan for and size increases in Citrix infrastructure with an expensive technology partner. It gave us the right data to correctly size the solution and avoid excessive spend. We also use it a lot too isolate the root cause of increases in CPU and memory costs introduced by our business areas. This allows us to govern business usage, get irresponsible end users to change behaviour and find possible sources of technical wastage to allow us to stretch our infrastructure out effectively. i.e. removing extensions to the WMI interface which did nothing useful and reduce CPU by 10% across a large silo. Saved us multiple 100's of users worth of CPU and improved end user experience. We also isolated issues with the underlying virtualisation fabric and got a free upgrade from our infrastructure provider. Good for this sort of vendor dispute.
