FastTrack 2.0 includes an intuitive wizard that simplifies the data collection process and outputs a comprehensive report providing the detailed, quantitative information Citrix customers need to successfully implement desktop transformation projects.
The wizard intuitively guides the user through the assessment process from the initial data gathering phase, through data analysis, then to modeling. Transparent to the user, the wizard makes application delivery, XenDesktop FlexCast delivery, datacenter and location decisions based on the collected data. The wizard will also proactively track the quality of the data in the assessment. From within the wizard, the customer can troubleshoot issues and also evaluate the SysTrack products that can provide ongoing monitoring, optimization and problem resolution at the site and enterprise level.
