Replicate storage between datacenters

Replicating data between datacenters has always been a challenge for enterprises. Primary datacenters need to move their core data, which can easily enter the 20-50 gigabyte range, to secondary facilities to help protect against losing data in a disaster. This is typically accomplished using very large and expensive network pipes, and since moving that much data can cause considerable congestion, replication is performed at night. Despite all the planning and sizing of the network, latency can still cause end-user experience issues. 

CloudBridge provides performance protection by using key technologies to ensure continuous availability of storage replication including:

• TCP Flow Control – increase WAN utilization and throughput ensuring continuous availability and no loss
• Data Compression/De-duplication – increase replication throughput capacity by reducing the data transfer rate, and reduce the cost for networks that need to burst to meet capacity needs
• Protocol Optimization – improve application performance to significantly free up bandwidth for replication
• Quality of Service – enable running bandwidth-intensive applications in the background to support SLA guarantees and preferential treatment for high priority traffic

Compute in the cloud. Protect your data.

There's compute power for the asking out in the cloud. Service providers can provide cycles on demand for demand-driven and seasonal peaks. But prudent businesses are choosing not to move their valuable data to public cloud providers' storage amid concerns about security and access control. Citrix CloudBridge lets enterprises move or burst processing to the cloud while keeping databases and corporate directories safely in corporate datacenters, so they can deliver the service levels they need without compromising on security.

Seamlessly interconnect your branches and datacenter to the public cloud

For enterprises to take advantage of the public cloud efficiently, it's important for users and applications to be shielded from having to know the location of apps or data. Citrix CloudBridge spans the boundaries of enterprise and provider networks, yielding a secure, high-performance, low-latency "fabric" that users and apps can access transparently as a single flat network. By bridging and optimizing below the application layers, CloudBridge makes the complexity and latency of the network invisible to users and apps.

Choose your platforms – we do the rest

Selection of a virtualization platform isn't just a simple multiple-choice question—businesses may use more than one hypervisor depending on the apps they are running, and their cloud providers could take different options as well. Transparent access needn't depend on unanimous agreement. By delivering Citrix CloudBridge in the network—either as a physical appliance, as a multi-hypervisor virtual appliance or as a service on the NetScaler SDX multi-tenant service delivery controller—Citrix lets enterprises take advantage of the most cost-effective and robust cloud offerings. They can avoid lock-in, and make the best choices for the apps and the business.
