Citrix SD-WAN WANOP

Manage and monitor using Citrix Application Delivery Management

Citrix SD-WAN WANOP AppFlow support enables flexible, customized monitoring of your Citrix SD-WAN WANOP appliances.

The AppFlow interface works with Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM). Citrix ADM receives detailed information from the appliance, using the AppFlow open standard (http://www.appflow.org).Citrix ADM allows you to monitor, manage, and view analytics of the Citrix SD-WAN appliances in your network.

Citrix ADM supports a wide range of devices and can present a more complete view of your network. The Citrix SD-WAN WANOP appliance has an extensive view of WAN traffic, including detailed statistics about Virtual Apps/Virtual Desktops traffic, it provides key insights into the WAN user experience.

Virtual Apps/Virtual Desktops example

In a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, if a branch user encounters low performance, the administrator might have to monitor the network, the users, and applications hosted on Virtual Apps or Virtual Desktops. The administrators might need to ask the following questions:

  • Which part of the network is causing a bad user experience?

  • What is an easy way to identify the slowness in published applications?

  • Which virtual channels are consuming the most bandwidth over a given time period?

  • Which Virtual Desktops or Virtual Apps users are consuming the most bandwidth over a given time period?

  • For a given Virtual Desktops user, what is the average client and server-side latency, and the average jitter?

  • What are the top applications across all Virtual Apps users, by up-time and total number of launches over a given time period?

  • What is the Datacenter latency?

The Citrix SD-WAN WANOP AppFlow support provides answers to all of the above questions, allowing, for example, a congested WAN link to be distinguished from a slow server or a slow client.
