Ecora Releases Citrix Module for Enterprise Auditor 3.0 Suite
Save time and boost efficiencies with automated configuration data collection to report on, track changes to, secure, and recover critical Citrix servers throughout the enterprise
PORTSMOUTH, NH - May 27, 2003 - Ecora Software, the leader in total configuration management, today announced the general availability of a Citrix module for its Enterprise Auditor 3.0 suite, an integral component of Ecora's Total Configuration Management (TCM) solution. With the Citrix module, users can automatically collect configuration data from Citrix MetaFrame servers across the enterprise to run reports, track changes, provide a more secure environent, and create up-to-date disaster recovery documentation.
"Citrix MetaFrame is the most widely deployed enterprise access product and represents a significant market opportunity for Ecora," said Alex Bakman, CEO of Ecora. "By implementing the Ecora Enterprise Auditor suite, administrators responsible for Citrix, as well as our other supported platforms, can significantly save time managing configuration settings and changes, maximize availability by gaining more control of their systems, and provide a more stable and secure environment."
Ecora Enterprise Auditor 3.0 is a powerful configuration reporting and change management solution driven by a comprehensive, cross-platform configuration database that stores hundreds of thousands of configuration settings. In addition to flexible, customized reporting, the Citrix module provides dozens of out-of-the-box reports critical to managing Citrix servers, including:
o Policy Report - Details the defined rules of each policy and the users and groups to which is assigned. Find where policies conflict or which rules have a particular value.
o License Report - Breaks down all the different types of licenses, including product codes, product licenses, connection licenses, license sets, license counts, and license assignments.
o Feature Release Report - Quickly identifies feature release level, service pack, and installation date to help with corporate compliance and standardization.
o Published Applications Authorized Users Report - Details which users and groups have access to applications in the Citrix farm. Know which applications allow anonymous access.
o Server Troubleshooting Reports - Provides details on the health of the Citrix servers through focus on CPU, memory, OS, sessions, SNMP, networking, and thresholds.
"Maintaining consistency across our Citrix servers is very important to us, but it's a struggle to manually document configuration settings and track and monitor changes," said Cathy Partridge, senior systems analyst for the City of Edmonton. "With Ecora's Citrix Module, I'm impressed with how easy it is to automatically document Citrix-specific configuration settings and changes. We are now able to better manage our environment, while saving time and increasing our operational efficiencies."
Partridge is using the Citrix module of the Ecora Enterprise Auditor suite to:
o Report on Citrix sessions to see user connections and license usage
o Discover applications published on all of the City of Edmonton's Citrix servers
o Establish consistent configuration settings for uniform service and usability
o Report on Citrix service pack levels
The Enterprise Auditor 3.0 suite in combination with Ecora Patch Manager comprises Ecora's Total Configuration Management (TCM) solution suite.
