Advanced application and service delivery

Citrix NetScaler makes apps and cloud-based services run five times better by offloading app and database servers, accelerating app and service performance, and integrating security. Deployed in front of web and database servers, NetScaler combines high-speed load balancing and content switching, data compression, content caching, SSL acceleration, network optimization, application visibility and application security on a single, comprehensive platform.

By using NetScaler to create a services delivery fabric overlay spanning enterprise and cloud datacenters, enterprises can make the cloud a transparent extension of their own network. IT organizations can extend existing in-place processes and tooling to the cloud-based services the business adopts.

Overcoming deployment challenges

Enterprise IT organizations are delivering more applications and services than ever to a broad user population demanding access from an ever-growing array of client devices. Not surprisingly, this can drive exponential growth in deployment costs and complexity. Providing advanced web application delivery and bridging enterprise networks with cloud infrastructure, NetScaler accelerates and simplifies app and service deployment while reducing TCO, optimizing user experience, meeting security requirements and ensuring availability.

The optimal choice for application and service delivery

Available as a high-performance hardware appliance or flexible software-based virtual appliance, Citrix NetScaler is easily deployed in front of web, application and database servers to provide high-speed load balancing, faster application performance, better protection against attack and the capability to offload servers from compute-intensive tasks. As the foundation for a comprehensive service delivery fabric, NetScaler with its Layer 2 network and Layer 3 security overlay makes cloud datacenters appear as a natural extension of the enterprise network.
