Systems and methods for a history walker interface to a time-based data structure are disclosed. A time-based data structure may contain information about updates to a set of records that change periodically over time. For example, a set of records that record state transitions of a task item as the task item progresses through its life cycle. An example task item may be represented by a change request or incident report in a help desk software application. The task item begins with an “open” state and may transition through any number of states (e.g., assigned, on-hold, test, customer response requested, etc.) on its way to ultimately being “closed” as completed. A history walker interface may assist application developers when creating applications to indicate how the task item transitioned through its different states throughout its lifecycle.

Provided herein are systems and methods for providing insights or metrics in connection with provisioning applications and/or desktop sessions to end-users. Network devices (e.g., appliances, intermediary devices, gateways, proxy devices or middle-boxes) can gather insights such as network-level statistics. Additional insights (e.g., metadata and metrics) associated with virtual applications and virtual desktops can be gathered to provide administrators with comprehensive end-to-end real-time and/or historical reports of performance and end-user experience (UX) insights. Insights relating to an application or desktop session can be used to determine and/or improve the overall health of the infrastructure of the session, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, the applications (e.g., remote desktop application) being delivered using the infrastructure, and/or the corresponding user experience.

[Problem] It is determined whether quick repair handling is required for a failure in a communication apparatus or in a communication service that occurs in a nighttime period in compliance with an SLA while curbing operating expenses. [Solution] A maintenance task management apparatus 11 determines handling of failures when both an apparatus failure that is a failure in communication apparatuses 46a and 46b in a nighttime period and a service failure that is a trouble in a communication service provided by the communication apparatuses 46a and 46b to users in the nighttime period occur or only the apparatus failure occurs. The maintenance task management apparatus 11 includes a handling determination unit 23 and a handling control unit 31. The handling determination unit 23 determines whether service interruption of communication due to double failures, which are both the apparatus failure and the service failure, violates an SLA that is service level agreement with users when the double failures are detected. The handling control unit 31 performs control for transmitting a quick handling notification for requesting quick failure repair to a worker terminal 42 when it is determined that the service interruption violates the SLA.

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of performing appropriate processing under a predetermined usage agreement. To this end, the information processing apparatus repeatedly communicates with a server saving agreement information and obtains the agreement information in a case where the information processing apparatus is in a second state in which a predetermined service is available. In this case, the information processing apparatus switches from the second state to a first state in which the predetermined service is unavailable based on a time and date at which the communication with the server fails.

Described herein are systems and methods for work from home solutions according to various embodiments of the invention. These solutions accurately diagnose connectivity issue locations and severity from any, some, or all points in a network framework. Embodiments of these solutions may also use artificial intelligence and machine learning to process customer quality-of-experience (QoE) feedback and other relevant indicators. The solutions may improve network connectivity based on these measurements and processes.

Described embodiments provide for associating a user experience score with a location of a client. A device may identify a session between the client and an application service established via a first network. The device may receive, via the application service, a network address of the client associated with a second network. The device may determine a location of the client accessing the application service via the first network based at least on the network address associated with the second network. The device may receive, from an instrumentation service, performance factors for the client. Each of the performance factors may be associated with access to the application service by the client. The device may generate a user experience score for the client based at least on the performance factors. The device may provide an instruction based at least on an association between the user experience score and the location.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network availability management of a network deployed at a customer site involves at a cloud server connected to the network, receiving network availability information of the network deployed at the customer site from at least one wireless sensor deployed at the customer site, at the cloud server, receiving wireless communications channel quality information of the network deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, automatically determining a service-level agreement (SLA) network availability metric based on the network availability information and the wireless communications channel quality information.

A device may receive group information, associated with performing application maintenance, that includes information corresponding to one or more resources, associated with performing the application maintenance, and information associated with one or more shifts of the one or more resources. The device may receive ticket information, associated with performing the application maintenance, that includes priority information associated with one or more ticket types associated with performing the application maintenance. The device may simulate, based on the group information and the ticket information, performing the application maintenance to determine a simulation result. The simulation result may include information associated with one or more predicted performance metrics associated with performing the application maintenance. The device may provide the information associated with the one or more predicted performance metrics.
