Setting Up NetScaler Insight Center with Simulations
Overview
Insight Center is quickly becoming one of the most "asked about" features within NetScaler. This course will teach you how to stand up and configure NetScaler Insight Center within an environment containing one or more NetScaler appliances. This course provides users with hands-on practice related to setting up NetScaler Insight Center to monitor virtual application, virtual desktop and web application traffic which traverses a NetScaler appliance. This course includes thirty days of access to a fully provisioned lab environment.
Use of NetScaler Insight Center provides enhanced visibility into web and mobile workspace environments; reducing time spent on troubleshooting performance issues.
This course is based on Citrix NetScaler Insight Center 10.5, which is a component of Citrix NetScaler 10.5.
