Lorna CrawfordWith so many of us working remotely, it is important for IT to establish remote sensors that can run 24x7x365 to provide feedback and monitor the performance and availability of any remote site or region that hosts your remote workforce. These sensors provide a proactive approach to handling any reduction in performance or lack of availability, before end-users are impacted and productivity is reduced.

Benny TritschFor many admins, monitoring your infrastructure comes with a huge piece missing.

Giving you complete visibility into your front- and back-end infrastructure, you can monitor, manage, troubleshoot, and remediate your entire environment—including your IGEL endpoints—in real time. In this session, discover how easy it is to integrate ControlUp and IGEL, and take a look at a brand new offering from ControlUp called Scoutbees.

Mike WalshTechnology changes fast, and sometimes the world changes even faster – which means delivering a secure, structured, personalized work environment for users to be accessed from anywhere, at any time, without reliance on traditional IT or desktop infrastructure. This comes on top of the existing pressures of a) enabling complicated hybrid and multi-cloud environments, b) the requirement to optimize cloud expenditures to support these initiatives, c) the impact of Microsoft’s WVD technology, and d) a growing realization that in the distributed enterprise VDI workspaces need to be reasonably close to the user in order to deliver the right experience. This session will deal with how an enterprise-class control plane for the end user experience can address all of these issues, and highlight real-world successes by both SMB and enterprise customers.
Dietmar RenschAre you convinced that your endpoints are really secure? An attack gateway could already be the input device. Sensitive data (PINs) could be accessed, even before further security measures take effect. You can trust CHERRY input devices. We prevent your headache with secure authentication and encrypted key transmission and offer additional benefits through integrated readers for chip cards and RF / NFC tokens or biometrics. Security starts at the input device!
