Citrix EdgeSight uses Firebird
Citrix® EdgeSight™ is a performance and availability management solution for XenDesktop, XenApp and endpoint systems. EdgeSight monitors applications, devices, sessions, license usage, and the network in real time, allowing users to quickly analyze, resolve, and proactively prevent problems.
In the EdgeSight support page, we can find the following:
The EdgeSight agent is continuously monitoring every process that is running on the monitored device. In turn, it is continuously writing performance data to its local Firebird SQL database.
So, one more big company using Firebird.
How many more are out there, and we still don’t know? 🙂
