Provides Greater Visibility into Work From Anywhere Environments
CHICAGO, March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Liquidware, the leader in digital workspace management, today announced version 6.6 of Stratusphere™ UX, its premier digital experience monitoring solution.
This latest version includes the following critical features and metrics:
Windows 11 Hardware Compatibility Inventory
Last fall, Microsoft released the Windows 11 operating system. The new OS places restrictions on key resource components, including CPU Clock, Core #, bit width & generation, RAM, Display size, resolution, Direct X 12/WDDM 2, & Color Depth, and Security (UEFI & TPM 2.0), among others. Stratusphere UX collects information on each one of these restrictions for each machine in the company fleet to determine upgrade compatibility with this OS. It highlights each incompatibility after evaluating it. This provides guidance for planning whether to perform in place upgrades or image refresh that would involve reinstalling applications and/or restoring data.
Work from Anywhere Metrics
New Work From Anywhere (WFx) metrics have been added to Stratusphere UX 6.6, including machine location, user input delay and machine local user accounts. These metrics provide detailed information as to the exact location the user on the machine is working at as well as how well their local device is performing remotely. Now, issues arising due to location & distance that could cause slow latency are easier to identify. In addition, the local user accounts data indicates whether there are multiple user accounts on the local machine, their status (enabled/disable/locked), when did they login last, and, most importantly, if any of them have administrative privileges. Local accounts with administrative privileges create a potential security issue. Domain accounts can be managed remotely but local accounts present another security attack surface that could result in leakage of sensitive data for the organization.
Dashboard Widget Enhancement
A new Sankey Diagram widget has been added to the Dashboards, displaying data relationships in a one-to-many, many-to-many, and many-to-one visualization. This widget displays the interrelation of digital workspace components including application names, process names, versions, destination IP, machines, processes, and users in a digital workspace environment.
Updated OS
As part of its continued focus on security, Stratusphere UX now runs on Oracle Linux 8 operating system that replaced CentOS 8. The new Oracle Linux 8 operating system provides widespread compatibility across virtual and cloud platforms and has universally accepted Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) for compliancy within FED and DoD environments.
Grace Krokidas, CMO at Liquidware stated, "This latest version of Stratusphere UX fulfills recent feature requests from customers to gain further visibility into their users' remote environments. This is critical in today's WFx scenarios. As an authority and pioneer in this space, Liquidware continues to deliver enhancements and innovation in digital experience monitoring."
