Case Study: Gard achieves 30% increased server capacity and simplified IT administration with AppSense Management Suite

Gard - Customer Case Study

Gard is a global insurer supporting ship owners, operators and oil and gas clients, with about 340 employees across nine locations. Its IT team faced frequent downtime and heavy administration from managing user environments on Citrix—roaming profiles caused corruption, long logons and inflexible configurations—leaving staff overstretched and users with an unstable, slow experience.

Gard deployed the AppSense Management Suite (Environment, Performance and Application Manager) alongside increased Citrix use, rolling out quickly across its environment. The result was faster, simpler administration, higher user satisfaction, more secure and stable server builds and a 30% increase in server capacity—letting Gard support more users without extra hardware or staffing.
