What I found from testing was that the person doing the screen share didn’t use a crazy amount of CPU but rather each person viewing the screen share was consuming a relatively high amount due to rendering the video. The spike you see was when the same testers all got on a WebEx session with another person doing a screen share. With the JVDI client the CPU utilization is successfully offloaded to the client device. If you’re only interested in Jabber, don’t be alarmed by that spike, it is not from Jabber.

Should you? Personally, I feel while the audio quality is acceptable it is still not as loud and clear as when you use Jabber directly on your device but if you are entertaining the idea of putting Jabber in your virtual desktop or published desktop, odds are getting it directly on your end user’s devices is something you are not in a position to do.Ībove you can see a a trend of CPU utilization. It’s worth noting, for this test I focused purely on audio only calls.īack to the question, Can you? Yes, you can. I/O, network, disk writes are all within acceptable ranges for us. Memory is relatively high but no more so than on any device. You can see the CPU utilization is pretty reasonable. These are launched on a published desktop and each user has an endpoint with JVDI Client. The metrics shown from ControlUp above are of 4 sessions, 3 of which are engaged in Jabber calls.

Without the client, don’t even bother trying. They’ll experience choppy speech no matter what policies or other settings you have in-place. If they do not have the JVDI Client installer, their audio quality is going to be poor. Cisco Jabber actually works pretty well in a Citrix virtual desktop, RemotePC and published desktop as long as you ensure the user’s endpoint that they are launching their desktop session from has the JVDI Client installed. I think I should address the can you? and should you? questions. In this post, I’d like to address the use of Cisco Jabber and Cisco WebEx in Citrix desktops as I have received multiple questions about this.īefore getting into the how. When there was a surge of people going to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number one issue seemed to be with people trying to get on web conferences and having audio issues or using a Softphone like Cisco Jabber and having audio issues.
