Application management leader HERMES SoftLab, a ComTrade company, today announced the release of a major update to its Citrix Smart Plug-in (Citrix SPI) for the HP Operations Center suite of service-oriented IT operations management solutions.

The Citrix SPI provides comprehensive infrastructure topology, health and performance monitoring, management tools, and reporting that enable IT departments to maintain high service levels and deliver a top-notch end-user experience.
“We have always envisioned the Citrix SPI as a comprehensive end-to-end Citrix service-management solution for HP Operations Center.

SPI for Citrix benefits:
- Infrastructure availability monitoring: Health, performance, and availability of XenApp, XenServer, and XenDesktop.
- Application availability monitoring: Synthetic application and desktop launch probing ensures application and desktop availability; and issues are quickly identified and root-cause analysis provides a comprehensive diagnosis.

- Unified management: Further leverage investments in HP Software, operations personnel, processes, and procedures to extend ITIL and Enterprise Systems Management to the Citrix environment – with no additional consoles required.
- Integrated Management: Acting as an Operations Bridge, the Citrix SPI automatically integrates Citrix performance and availability information with that same information from back-end application layers, providing a true service management perspective.
- Certified & Tested: The SPI for Citrix is both an HP Software Certified Smart Plug-in and a verified Citrix Ready solution.
