Troubleshooting Video Latency on Non-Persistent VM with ControlUp
A user asked about troubleshooting video latency on a non-persistent VM, and it was suggested to use User Session Details in Solve as the best starting point. If Remote DX was installed, they can also watch session relevant latency, CPU, RAM and other metrics in a single place. Script Action can be used for advanced data collection. The Network Latency graph may be legit, but there was a known issue with the Linux RDX plugin. A new beta version which fixes this issue will be available soon. After sifting through the data, 3.75GB of RAM usage was found - they will look at adjusting graphics settings with Horizon View.

ControlUp and FIPS Compliance: Progress Towards Certification and Security Efforts
A user asked about FIPS compliance with ControlUp, and the response was that ControlUp is likely closer to FIPS compliant but not certified. This is due to the way the registry key in Windows works, requiring only certified modules. ControlUp's security can be seen on https://www.controlup.com/controlling-your-security/, with different components in the process of certifying for FIPS 140-2. IOP being a Linux appliance, and COP being a webservice, the explanation does not directly apply to them.
