SAP and Citrix NetScaler

Proven Strategies that Reduce Network Wait Time

HQ-Fast SAP
More than 41,000 customers worldwide count on SAP products like SAP NetWeaver and the mySAP.com Business Suite to reduce costs, improve business performance, and respond faster to rapidly changing business needs. In SAP Lab tests, Citrix has been proven to reduce network wait times for SAP users by up to 99% and improve app delivery speed by up to 5X. And with its server offload and caching capabilities, Citrix NetScaler helps companies maximize their SAP server resources – with CPU utilization dropping as much as 60% – to dramatically reduce operational expense.

Boost Performance for SAP Transactions
Test results proved conclusively that adding only a single, centrally located NetScaler appliance sitting in front of the SAP NetWeaver Portal Server can improve large-file download times across a global user base by about 80 percent. Even across the near-perfect conditions of a company LAN, response time improved. Learn more.

Improve User Experience & Reduce Operating Expenses
Deployed in front of the SAP NetWeaver Portal as a dedicated application delivery appliance, NetScaler is designed to efficiently handle basic tasks such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption/decryption, TCP connection management, and data compression. With such CPU-intensive tasks offloaded, the SAP NetWeaver Portal can handle vastly greater numbers of simultaneous connections and users. NetScaler also effortlessly serves popular content directly from memory, further reducing SAP workload. And finally, NetScaler can intelligently distribute application traffic at multi-gigabit data rates among multiple backend servers. SAP administrators can reduce operating expenses by procuring and managing fewer servers. Learn more.
