New Citrix NetScaler Boosts Security and Accelerates Mobile User Experience

Citrix News Release:



New NetScaler 10 Brings Next-Generation Acceleration and Secure Mobile Application Delivery to Enterprises and Service Providers
Citrix today announced the latest software release for Citrix® NetScaler® 10 with TriScale™ technology, the industry’s most advanced cloud networking platform built to enhance the mobile users experience and increases security. Most networks have been architected with the traditional PC-type of devices in mind mainly connecting across wired networks.  But with the disruption caused by mobile devices entering the workplace over the last 10 years, the traditional datacenter design and the protocols used are not flexible enough to deal with the demands of today’s mobile devices. For the consumer, this translates into inexplicable connection delays on their mobile device, which for example, interrupt a purchase or stall a video they are watching. In the enterprise, this inflexibility of the network to adapt, results in decreased productivity for employees who cannot adequately access their business apps.  The new NetScaler 10 provides an answer to these problems by reducing the lag time caused when an antiquated system attempts to react to the request of a mobile device. By decreasing this latency, NetScaler 10 delivers by providing a faster, more efficient business solution.
Organizations require a solution that addresses these user expectations, while also meeting IT’s need for security. NetScaler 10 now works in conjunction with Citrix XenMobile™ MDM to provide the foundation to address these needs. Through role-based management, configuration and security of corporate and employee-owned devices and thanks to new levels of secure mobile application delivery including ActiveSync filtering, email security is expanded and device management simplified. Not only does NetScaler 10 decrease latency and improve efficiency, it also inherently creates a more flexible network giving a more agile and expandable datacenter network.  This flexibility in the datacenter has become a necessity as the number of mobile apps, all with unique infrastructure characteristics, increases. Enhancements to the NetScaler SDX™ product line using TriScale technology makes this advanced scalability possible. 
           

Key Facts and Highlights

·         Superior Mobile Application Experience – NetScaler has introduced many new features and protocols such as SPDY and MPTCP support that significantly improve the way the network behaves delivering a first class predictable user experience for the mobile enterprise user.
·         Secure Enterprise Mobility - XenMobile is a robust mobile device management solution that delivers role-based management, configuration and security for both corporate and employee-owned devices. The latest release of NetScaler introduces new levels of secure mobile application delivery including ActiveSync filtering for secure email and device management in conjunction with XenMobile.
·         Advances in TriScale technology – With today’s announcement, NetScaler SDX now offers even more flexibility in TriScale clustering. SDX now delivers fully independent instances of an advanced delivery controller (ADC) clustered horizontally within a NetScaler SDX appliance as well as vertically across NetScaler SDX appliances. NetScaler 10 also offers new traffic domains, a feature that allows overlapping IP ranges.
·         Deep Visibility for Web Apps and Virtual Desktops – NetScaler Insight Center consists of two key applications – HDX Insight for HDX traffic and Web Insight for web applications.  The solution is designed to gather the breadth of data available to the NetScaler platform and deliver network and application visibility. HDX Insight is now integrated into the Citrix XenApp® and Citrix XenDesktop® management console. What was once only available to a network administrator is now being shared in a format more appropriate for a desktop administrator.
