IntelliPerform: Filling the gap WSRM left behind

21/06/202329/01/2020 by Peter Corish

Introduction

VDI environments (whether you are running them yourself or an MSP hosting for multiple users) are implemented for their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and manageability, however, when providing a whole workforce all of their desktops and applications from one location, performance issues are bound to arise.
Resources in VDI environments are shared and often all it takes is one power user or one runaway process to severely impact the experience of everyone on a server. Even worse these can cause the server itself to crash.
In this post, I will discuss an approach that Windows took to resolve this issue on their 2008 – 2012 servers, what happened to that solution and how IntelliPerform can fill the gap it left behind AND more.

Windows 7 end of life: What does it mean for your endpoints?

27/05/202407/11/2019 by Peter Corish

With Windows 7 End-of-life on the horizon there is a lot of panic in the air over what to do with your existing devices. A lot of people will be telling you that you need to upgrade or be vulnerable to malicious software, or to remove the OS and boot with Linux because the only thing to stop a group of hackers is an open source, easily accessed OS.
