I'm happy to welcome a repeat guest on the Converging On Microsoft Podcast, Simon Crosby, CTO Virtualization at Citrix. Simon joins us to talk about a newly announced initiative called Project Independence (you might also want to check out the press release.) Citrix's Project Independence makes some interesting and bold predictions. (29:10)
Simon talks with us about the idea that employees will use their own computing equipment, sometime subsidized by the company, and then securely deliver a virtualized corporate desktop to these devices. Contractors, consultants (and increasingly employees) frequently bring their own equipment into customer sites and their networks. Simon discusses how Project Independence will deliver virtualized desktops that are streamed via the network, operate locally when not connected to the data center, and then synchronize data and apps when reconnected. He also talks about how Citrix is partnering with Intel to deliver a Xen desktop client in end user machines, similar what we've seen happen with server equipment, to "dynamically stream a centrally managed corporate desktop, and all related applications, directly into a secure, isolated client-based virtual machine (VM)."

Diagnosing why an application is slow is hard, at times taking days or weeks to isolate and resolve. This paper explains the challenges involved using current management tools, provides a 'wish list' for application management and analysis, and explains the need for an application system-wide approach that monitors entire applications, not components.
This paper highlights the impact of virtualization on application performance. "Managing Application Performance in Virtual Environments" states: "Best-in-Class organizations are predominately taking actions around improving visibility across both physical and virtual systems, assessing the business impact of application performance and understanding interdependencies of applications in virtualized environments."
Forrester Research analyst Glenn O'Donnell and BlueStripe co-founder Vic Nyman discuss a breakthrough approach to application problem management. Learn the new approach for ITSM problem management, which provides: Rapid isolation of application slow-downs to specific components for quick problem resolution, 24/7 monitoring for proactive notification of potential issues before end users are impacted and much more.
