2 #CitrixSummit Tweet about this session with hashtag #SUM601D and #CitrixSummit

3 #CitrixSummit AppDNA Software Overview / Value Lab Exercises Q&A Agenda 3

4 AppDNA Software Overview / Value

5 #CitrixSummit Complexity ○ More features means a higher chance for failure Maintenance ○ Frequent releases means frequent retesting Integration ○ Apps often need to talk to other apps Migration ○ Hardware, OS, and platform Private cloud applications pose challenges

6 ? ? Traditional approach to app lifecycle Manual testing effort Time Cost Risk

7 #CitrixSummit Automated application analysis ○ Collects thousands of data points Comprehensive reporting ○ Outlines areas that need attention Application preparation ○ Can assist with Citrix streaming and App-V Application management tools ○ Handles day-to-day updates and patches Introducing Citrix AppDNA Software

8 The AppDNA approach to app lifecycle Automation and reporting Time Cost Risk Application “DNA” #CitrixSummit

9 Readiness Matrix Across applications, across technologies Complexity Virtualization Server Based Computing Windows Desktop #CitrixSummit

10 AppDNA software 3-tiered architecture The AppDNA server produces reports, manages users, processes, Web sites, and licenses The client system is used to connect to the environment 3 3 2 2 Application data storage and analysis takes place in the SQL backend database 1 1 SQL TCP Traffic HTTP or HTTPS #CitrixSummit

11 DNA Database Server 2008 R2 Server 2003 Windows XP Windows 7 OS Import Applications Windows / Web / ISV / Internally developed Applications Windows / Web / ISV / Internally developed Apps Users / Groups / Devices Audit / Performance / Runtime

12 #CitrixSummit Direct import versus import capture Direct import ○ Takes in data in one step ○ Available for MSIs and SFTs ○ Preferred import method Install capture ○ Uses VM snapshots to collect data ○ Available for all formats (EXEs, MSIs, etc.) ○ Additional configuration steps are required

13 Applications External Data Operating System Analyze  Internal State  Dependencies  App -> App  App -> OS  External data AppDNA Database Heuristic Algorithms #CitrixSummit

14 Report Estate View Effort Calculator Assessment Forward-Path Action Report Remediation Action / Fix Where Do I stand? How do I get there? How long will it take? How much will it cost? What do I need to do? Competitive edge Partner efficiency Drive the process
