CPU Utilization Management

If you're analysing the performance of your farm, in search of possible bottlenecks, you'll most likely find lack of CPU or memory resources.

Citrix CPU Utilization Management is a feature you can enable to improve the way XenApp manages CPU resources and to normalize CPU peaks.

CPU Utilization Management is a feature included in the Enterprise or Platinum edition of XenApp.

When you enable CPU Utilization Management, the server checks the proportion of CPU resource (share) assigned to each user. By default, it assigns the same share to all the users. This prevents one user that executes CPU-intensive operations from impacting the other users on the same session-host servers.

For example, consider a user who is using a spreadsheet to perform complex financial calculations. Without CPU Utilization Management, his session will probably be consuming most of the CPU resources available on the server, slowing down the work of other connected users. With CPU Utilization...
