Release offers major architectural enhancements to support scale and performance, newly supported client and application visibility

Liquidware, a leading third-party provider of platform-agnostic end-user computing solutions, announced the general availability of Stratusphere UX 6.0, a user experience monitoring and diagnostics solution for physical desktops, virtual and cloud-based workspaces.

Stratusphere UX has received a major architectural change with this release, scaling to support the capture of far more user, machine and application metrics and information. The solution has also added features to support application strategy, application visibility as well as support for new end-devices.

“We have put significant resources behind this version of Stratusphere UX,” said David Bieneman, CEO and co-founder, Liquidware. “Architectural enhancements and the addition of a Stratusphere Collector Appliance now allow the solution to extend visibility and capture more in-guest details, while also increasing overall responsiveness and reporting.”

The new architecture of Stratusphere UX will better support enterprise environments with a platform scale increase of 400 percent and increases of 40 percent in interface responsiveness and over 100 percent in reporting time.

“Stratusphere UX 6.0 has been a great solution for us. We have significant resources invested in VMware and the ability to monitor the environment is important to us. Liquidware provides greater speed to resolution and detail over other solutions we’ve used, including vRealize Operations Manager,” said Ralph Looney, senior director, IT Infrastructure and Systems at Coast Community College District. “We could not be happier with Stratusphere UX and how it supports the delivery of user experience and meeting the needs of our students.”

With this release of Stratusphere UX, the product will now support Apple OS X (El Capitan) and macOS (Sierra). It has increased visibility to support end-device trace route functionality; physical-layer connectivity can play an important role in the delivery of user experience for remote users.

In addition, release 6.0 of Stratusphere UX will provide greater application features with new Application Strategy reporting. Specifically, the solution will add reports for application utilization and application candidates (complexity) for FlexApp, Liquidware’s Application Layering solution.
