In this episode, we’re bringing you The Upload, but with a twist! We’re broadcasting LIVE from the floor at the Washington VMware User Group (VMUG) and chatting with Eric Aguila, our Commercial Accounts Executive. We dive into what was discussed in the keynote and Eric gives us the scoop on the happenings at the ControlUp booth and the questions people ask most often. But that’s not all! Tom Fenton, ControlUp’s Edge DX SME, joins Jeff and Eugenia. Tom gives us the dish on VMware project Monterey and other cool things, such as his book on how to install ESX on a Raspberry Pi.
What is DEX? DEX stands for Digital Employee Experience, and it’s, essentially, everything that remote workers deal with throughout the course of their work day—applications and desktops, the status of their home or work network, how strong their internet connection is, and everything else you can think of. It’s everything that makes or breaks the work from anywhere experience, and it’s something you hear ControlUp talk about a lot. The ControlUp Digital Experience management platform brings together a suite of solutions that make it possible for IT to spot problems in remote workers’ environments, no matter where they’re working, so employees stay productive and have a frustration-free experience.
What is a DEX report: The DEX report is data about a customer’s after a POC. It compares their environment to two million VDI computers in the ControlUp global community.
Why would someone want a DEX report: The digital employee experience (DEX) is a key performance indicator in understanding the impact of technology on employee experience. Many customers rely on subjective feedback to determine an employee’s DEX. ControlUp offers objective feedback that compares the customer’s environment to over two million virtual machines.
Listen in as we interview Spencer Pitts, Digital Workspace Chief Technologist at VMware. Have fun and gain some insights into his views of the Digital Employee Experience.
Starting in v8.6, ControlUp will integrate with Microsoft Azure, to allow real-time monitoring and management of Azure and AVD resources. You’ll be able to see the relevant metrics displayed in the Real-Time Console and Solve. This long-awaited new integration automatically discovers and collects comprehensive information such as Cost, Health, Configuration and other metadata on each of the following new objects
In addition to offering a wide range of new metrics, predefined actions, and drill-down relationships for easier troubleshooting and navigation, our Azure integration supports seamless association between Azure VMs and entities from different ControlUp extensions, virtual machine management, and more!
Support for AVD in ControlUp Remote DX!
“Previously available only for Citrix and VMware Horizon environments, this release will add support for Microsoft RDS and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments running on Windows.”
Scheduled Triggers
ControlUp v8.5 included the basic functionality for this feature, but with v8.6 there will be even more scheduling options, including:
Additional Features/Enhancements
An email can now be sent when an Automated Action fails to run.
Remote work is now a business imperative
Millions of us are living the work-from-anywhere life now, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Remote work is here to stay; IDC projects that the U.S. remote work population will be nearly 60% of the total workforce by 2024.
Security and compliance are meaningless when it comes to the digital employee experience
Device management tools lack visibility into a user’s experience. Deloitte states that a compelling workforce experience creates 22% higher engagement, 12% greater job satisfaction, with people 4x more likely to stay in jobs longer than other organizations.
ControlUp Edge DX improves the work-from-anywhere experience.
Edge DX understands employee experiences on physical endpoints no matter where in the world people are working.
Experiential data can help IT detect any issues impacting an employee’s experience, so they can improve or fix problems quickly and get employees back to what they want to do: a good job. Edge DX can even automate recurring problems before help desk tickets are created.
