NetScaler beats F5 Networks for building cloud-ready networks

You can't build a next-generation network with a platform designed to meet the challenges of the past. Citrix NetScaler enables cloud-ready networks by delivering the industry's most comprehensive set of load balancing, application security and acceleration capabilities across the broadest range of platforms. Compare this with F5 Networks, which provides high-quality, capable ADC solutions that meet traditional enterprise requirements—but are less effective in addressing emerging requirements for cloud infrastructures and cloud-ready enterprise networks.

9 reasons Citrix NetScaler beats F5:

Citrix TriScale technology

  1. Pay-As-You-Grow elasticity to increase ADC capacity on demand
  2. ADC consolidation solutions with higher density and a more functional architecture
  3. Advanced clustering technology for seamlessly expanding capacity up to 32x

Plus

  1. Software-based virtual ADCs with 100% feature parity to hardware-based appliances
  2. Innovative cloud bridging functionality for hybrid cloud environments
  3. Open, standards based application visibility with AppFlow
  4. SQL-intelligent load balancing of database servers to scale out the data tier
  5. Simple, highly intuitive policy engine that doesn't require complex programming
  6. 2x faster 2048-bit SSL performance

Consolidate ADCs without compromise

NetScaler SDX can consolidate 2.5 times more appliances into a single platform than F5, and do it for less. And, unlike F5, NetScaler solutions provide true multi-tenant isolation for the best security and performance, along with 100 percent support of all ADC functionality.
