New Machine Load Indicator scores in Citrix Analytics

Now Available
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.
