#CitrixSummit AppDNA Software Overview / Value Lab Exercises Q&A Agenda 3

AppDNA Software Overview / Value

#CitrixSummit Complexity ○ More features means a higher chance for failure Maintenance ○ Frequent releases means frequent retesting Integration ○ Apps often need to talk to other apps Migration ○ Hardware, OS, and platform Private cloud applications pose challenges

? ? Traditional approach to app lifecycle Manual testing effort Time Cost Risk

#CitrixSummit Automated application analysis ○ Collects thousands of data points Comprehensive reporting ○ Outlines areas that need attention Application preparation ○ Can assist with Citrix streaming and App-V Application management tools ○ Handles day-to-day updates and patches Introducing Citrix AppDNA Software

The AppDNA approach to app lifecycle Automation and reporting Time Cost Risk Application “DNA” #CitrixSummit

Readiness Matrix Across applications, across technologies Complexity Virtualization Server Based Computing Windows Desktop #CitrixSummit

AppDNA software 3-tiered architecture The AppDNA server produces reports, manages users, processes, Web sites, and licenses The client system is used to connect to the environment Application data storage and analysis takes place in the SQL backend database 1 1 SQL TCP Traffic HTTP or HTTPS #CitrixSummit
