DABCC Whitepaper On XPS Access Tracking Manager 2.5.7

Friday, 01 September 2006 by Michel Roth

"For those of you who manage or support a Citrix farm, chances are you are constantly looking for systems management tools to maximize your investment in Citrix (or just to make your job a tad easier.). But these tools can be pricey, difficult to use, or in the case of shareware � well, you get what you pay for. If you are running Citrix MetaFrame XPe, Presentation Server Enterprise Edition, but have struggled to create reports to help you better manage your farm using Resource Manager, then Access Tracking Manager (ATM) from XTS is the cure for your reporting blues.

It is common knowledge in the Citrix world that the reports from Resource Manager are too basic, not easy to read and lack the data we really need. You may have wanted to write more comprehensive reports but don�t have the expertise or time to code them in Crystal Reports. If this is the case, then you are like many customers who need to extract the wealth of valuable data Citrix captures for better capacity planning, improved licensing analysis, increased productivity and to manage service levels to ensure a consistent, positive user experience.

In this paper, I will go in to a bit more detail about the problems we face, the solutions we have tried, and then I will explain how with ATM you can solve these problems in a very easy, cost effective manner, with little impact to your time and no impact to your production farm. "
