As a Nexthink V6 Customer, you’re already realizing the power and value of a proactive, Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management solution: more productive employees, reduction in employee issues, and a smoother, more accelerated time-to-resolution for employee-reported IT issues.

The first time I was introduced to a real, proper PC was in the early 90’s: my uncle’s work PC, which I used instead to play games. In fact, my first experience with any kind of tech support service was when I phoned the Codemasters help line after getting stuck on a particularly knotty puzzle in the game ‘Dizzy’. No matter how loudly I shouted into the phone, the machine continued to route me back to the beginning of its automated script.

Mean time to innocence (MTTI) is a term used by IT teams to prove that their respective domain is not the source of a particular issue. In other words, it’s a fancy term to avoid blame when something goes wrong. Each team has its own domain-specific tools to prove the issue is not their fault. With respect to desktop virtualization, here are just some of the domains that are relevant when diagnosing issues.

The fast-paced adoption of digital workplace technologies provides fantastic opportunities to improve digital employee experience (DEX). But it comes at a cost. Digital technology has a serious—and increasing—impact on our environment, with a carbon footprint of about 4% of global carbon emission (that’s more than the aviation industry’s 2.5% contribution).

If you were to put 100 enterprise tech leaders in a room together and ask them if they think their company’s employee experience is dependent upon IT, I’m certain all would agree it is. But I’m also certain those 100 wouldn’t know: For IT decision-makers, the devil is in the details. Many are judged by uncompromising Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and shoddy survey data, not comprehensive digital experience trends and indexes.

Modern CPUs are complex beasts with billions of transistors. This complexity in hardware brings indeterminacy even in simple software algorithms. Let’s benchmark a simple list traversal. Does the average node access latency correspond to say, a CPU cache latency? Let’s test it! Here we benchmark access latency for lists with a different number of nodes. All the lists are contiguous in memory, traversed sequentially, and have a 4 KB padding between the next pointers.

This article originally appeared in VentureBeat. “I feel like my job performance is based on a rigged lottery.” That’s what the Director of End User Computing at a large European bank told me two weeks ago. Every quarter, her company runs an NPS-style survey asking employees about their IT Experience. If you work in a corporate setting, you’ve probably seen these questionnaires before.

Here’s a direct quote from an IT Manager I spoke with recently: “We’ve been using virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for a large percentage of employees for a few years now, but between you and me, it’s been a mess.

If you’ve been following recent tech news, you’ll know that Windows 11 is one of the hottest topics right now. Most of the conversation has been focused on users of the Home version, as Microsoft tries to get the average consumer excited with hot new features and a fresh look. But what about enterprise users who won’t have a choice in whether they upgrade or not? How are they going to feel about Windows 11?
