About Stratusphere User Experience Monitoring & Diagnostics Solution Stratusphere UX is a comprehensive user experience monitoring, desktop performance validation and virtual desktop diagnostics solution for organizations which need to support both virtual and mixed-platform (Citrix, VMware and physical) desktop environments. Unlike monitoring physical desktops—which is primarily a reactive process—virtual desktop monitoring and RDS-hosted application monitoring should be a proactive exercise. Virtually-delivered workloads are supported by a shared infrastructure; comprised of hosts, storage, networking and a spectrum of applications and services. Stratusphere UX provides the necessary end-to-end visibility and detailed information necessary to meet user expectations, minimize outages and downtime, and keep users productive.
