What's new and upcoming with Citrix technology and features

Unlike traditional load scores which purely look at resource usage and miss fire warnings of high load when genuine resource intensive applications are launched by users. Citrix Analytics has devised a new Machine Load Indicator Score which calibrates for user-experience and shows a score from 0 to 100 indicating how utilized your Citrix VDA/VDI machines are. And allowing you to shut or close those machines which are perpetually under-utilized or expand capacity where machines are heavily utilized.

The Session Recording service lets you subscribe to email notifications to notify specific recipients about resource usage alerts, server status changes, and the results of automated tasks for archiving and deleting recordings.

This feature grants the ability to check end user's device posture using Endpoint Protection via CrowdStrike. This information can be used to provide Contextual access into Citrix Workspace. 

API to manage Citrix Policies

Application discovery feature helps an admin get visibility into the internal private applications such as web apps and client server apps (TCP and UDP based apps) in their organization and the users accessing those applications.

The integration of the Always on ZTNA before Windows Logon feature for Secure Private Access service establishes pre-logon connectivity for the Secure Private Access users before they log on to the machine.

Selecting role/scope pairs in Identity and Access Management will be redesigned to improve console performance and enhance efficiency when assigning administrator permissions in Citrix Cloud.

Distributors will be able to access license usage data for all their partners through the Citrix Cloud API to help with reviewing and validating partner usage reports. 

Citrix Gateway service now supports Loss tolerant mode (preview), which uses EDT Lossy transport protocol to enhance the end-user audio experience for users connecting through networks with high latency and packet loss.

You can now create configuration partitions within a single Citrix DaaS instance. You achieve that by creating tenant scopes in Administrators > Scopes and associating related configuration objects, such as machine catalogs and delivery groups, with those tenants. As a result, administrators with access to a tenant can manage only objects that are associated with the tenant. This feature is useful, for example, if your organization has independent divisions or separate IT management teams. Also, the Full Configuration interface lets you filter tenant customers by name. By default, the interface displays information about all tenants.
