Runecast Analyzer license for Everyone and HOSPITALS
With COVID-19 raging across the world, businesses have been scrambling to configure and empower remote workers through the mass isolation of the workforce that has resulted. Many businesses are leveraging VMware Horizon as the means to effectively allow remote employees to access business resources in their environments. One thing that I have been noticing in companies that I have been working with on initiatives for remote workers is that environments are being stood up quickly and understandably often not in accord with best practices.
In line with that, if you haven’t heard about Runecast in terms of keeping a healthy vSphere infrastructure environment, you need to know about them. I know I have written about Runecast solutions often here on VHT and have constantly been impressed by their product as well as the team of folks they have working for them. They offer a top notch solution providing functionality you won’t find anywhere else. To go along with the great solution found in Runecast Analyzer, the team at Runecast is offering a free Runecast trial with full VMware Horizon insights enabled for EVERYONE and full Runecast Analyzer license for HOSPITALS to help those on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. Let’s look at free Runecast Analyzer license for Everyone and HOSPITALS.

A quick analysis of the environment already shows issues with the Horizon environment. This is a lab environment, so as you can see, I only have one connection server, so it is listing this along with several other relevant KBs right out of the gate.
