Business productivity hinges on providing the right users
secure access to the right applications using any device
and from any location. Effective and seamless delivery of
applications requires addressing all aspects of application
delivery—security, availability, performance and visibility—in
a comprehensive manner. Each capability needs to be bestin-class, and the aggregate solution needs to exhibit the
qualities and characteristics that define cloud architectures,
including affordability, and elastic scalability.
Citrix NetScaler SDX is a true service delivery networking platform for enterprise
and cloud datacenters. An advanced virtualized architecture supports multiple
NetScaler instances on a single hardware appliance, while an advanced control
plane unifies provisioning, monitoring and management to meet the most demanding
multi-tenant requirements. Instead of relying on “bolted” on capabilities or a
collection of physical and virtual form factors that may compromise on features,
performance and scalability, organizations can utilize the Citrix NetScaler SDX
purpose-built platform for their datacenter service delivery needs.
Now, with the addition of the VM-Series on Citrix NetScaler SDX, security
and ADC services can be consolidated on a single hardware platform. This
addresses the unique application needs for business units, application owners
and SP customers in a multi-tenant deployment. The combination of VM-Series
on Citrix NetScaler SDX also provides a complete, validated, security and ADC
solution for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop deployments.
VM-Series on Citrix NetScaler SDX
The VM-Series delivers safe application enablement using the same PAN-OS™
feature set that is available in physical security appliances. The core of the
Citrix NetScaler SDX Platform
VM-Series is the next-generation firewall which natively classifies all traffic,
inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user,
regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user—in
other words, the elements that run the business—are then used as the basis of an
organization’s security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a
reduction in incident response time.
