Datacenters are undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by cloud, mobility and virtualization. Successfully managing application workloads in these modern datacenters requires a flexible, scalable, application-aware network. Citrix and Cisco announce the Citrix NetScaler 1000V, a best-in-class application delivery controller that redefines L4-L7 services.
Building on Cisco strength in Unified Fabric and Unified Compute, and Citrix strength in intelligent, application delivery, the new architecture runs on Nexus Virtual Service Platform to provide a virtualized network platform that delivers scalability, elastic instantiation, and multi-tenant operation, all with a common approach to service provisioning and management. This core platform of Cisco Unified Fabric also integrates WAN optimization, security, application delivery, and network monitoring into a seamless converged infrastructure.
Bringing Citrix and Cisco key technologies together into an integrated solution helps enterprise and service provider customers deliver true cloud service automation with deep network and application-level intelligence, speed service deployment and simplify networking services.
Citrix NetScaler is industry most advanced cloud network platform. It enables datacenter network to become an end-to-end service delivery fabric to optimize delivery of all web applications, cloud-based services, virtual desktops, enterprise business apps and mobile services. It ensures the performance, availability and security SLAs for any service to any user, regardless of location and access technology.
Elevating Your Software Product Engineering Journey with Vast Edge
NetScaler L4-7 load balancing brings 100% availability to all applications and services, while improving efficiency of expensive server and network resources. Acceleration capabilities, such as AppCache, AppCompress and TCP optimizations, improve user experience by making applications faster and more responsive. NetScaler load balancing capabilities include:
NetScaler secures applications and networks from a wide variety of threats and attacks, prevents leakage of confidential data, and protects sensitive communications with SSL and SSL VPN capabilities.
Citrix TriScale drives unprecedented network scalability, enabling IT teams to build enterprise cloud networks that can Scale Up performance 5x, Scale Out capacity by 32x, and Scale In consolidation by running up to 40 appliances in a single platform.
Meeting strict performance SLAs is greatly simplified with end-to-end monitoring that transforms network data into actionable business intelligence.
Application delivery and load balancing policies can be defined and managed using a simple declarative policy engine, with no programming expertise required.
