The first of Citrix s new entries is Resource Management Services, which can be used with WinFrame, MetaFrame or Microsoft s Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition. The software monitors application usage for license compliance and performance. It monitors system resources, logs statistics on user connections, disconnections and archive usage, and it provides real time system monitoring. Resource Management Services also offers alert notification, and provides suggestions for correcting bottlenecks. Finally, the company debuted Installation Management Services, which automates the deployment of applications across server farms.
Many large enterprises have hundreds of servers.
They need to be able to install applications on one server and clone these systems. Installation Management Services records how the application is deployed on a server, creates a wizard and duplicates that process across other servers.
