NetScaler Technologies

Citrix TriScale technology

TriScale provides the ultimate in flexible and easy to deploy capacity scaling IT administrators may dramatically expand performance, whether locally or throughout public, private and hybrid clouds in multiple synergistic ways. TriScale uniquely provides the ability to dynamically “scale-out, “scale-up” and “scale-in” your network operations.

Dozens of NetScaler appliances may be clustered together to linearly “scale-out” a large unified group with a single system image. In this scenario all NetScaler appliances work in concert to deliver any application or service. At the same time each clustered appliance may be “scaled-up” by five times via either “Pay-As-You-Grow” or Burst Pack license upgrades. Further, services may be “scaled-in” through consolidating up to forty NetScaler instances on each NetScaler SDX appliance. TriScale is available for NetScaler every MPX, SDX and VPX appliance.

NetScaler nCore technology provides high performance and ROI

Citrix NetScaler nCore application accelerator technology delivers a seven fold increase in performance and scalability and provides new levels of advanced web application delivery controller performance for even the most challenging web applications.

nCore application accelerator technology increases the performance and scalability of NetScaler MPX platforms at no additional cost. nCore technology breaks the single CPU performance barrier that limits the performance, scalability, and extensibility of competing web application accelerator solutions. It is a true 64-bit architecture that is built from the ground up to intelligently distribute packet flows across multiple CPU cores for high-performance parallel processing. With nCore, you get:

• Seven times better performance and scalability
• Increased performance of Web 2.0 applications
• Greater ability to handle traffic spikes and capacity to support more users and applications
• All-in-one platform for web application delivery controller requirements
• Performance, scalability, integration, ease of management
• Reduced CapEx, OpEx, maintenance, and support costs

Integrated Web Interface server

The Citrix Web Interface for XenApp and XenDesktop operates natively on both NetScaler MPX and NetScaler VPX with nCore technology.  Web Interface enumerates the applications and desktops for both XenApp and XenDesktop that are available to a particular user, and publishes these in a browser window.

Why run Web Interface on Citrix NetScaler?

• Improve network security. With Web Interface deployed in the DMZ (not in the Intranet) no extra network firewall openings are required for Web Interface access and callbacks.
• Multiple authentication methods are available including LDAP, RADIUS, NTLM, and TACACS+.
• Over 7,500 concurrent Web Interface sessions are sustained by NetScaler MPX hardware models.
• Simplified network infrastructure with Web Interface configured through the NetScaler graphical user interface.
• Superior session capacity and reduced latency is provided via dedicated SSL VPN hardware support.
