Citrix CloudBridge provides connectivity between enterprise datacenters and off-premises clouds, making the cloud a seamless extension of the enterprise network. Citrix CloudBridge is a complete network solution—available as a standalone physical or virtual appliance or integrated into NetScaler Platinum—which enables enterprises to transparently shift web and app servers to the cloud while keeping database, directories, repositories and other key corporate data safely within the enterprise datacenter. Citrix CloudBridge provides key network services that make the cloud appear as a native extension of the enterprise network.

Seamless network extension

L2 network bridging makes the cloud network a natural extension of the enterprise's L2 network, making it easy to shift compute resources to the cloud and protect data within the datacenter without having to re-architect applications.

Secured tunnel

Citrix CloudBridge protects data with IPSec security to ensure that it remains secure as it traverses the network links between the enterprise and the cloud.

Optimized access

TCP optimizations, compression and data de-duplication included in Citrix CloudBridge minimize performance degradation that is often introduced by WAN connections between enterprise datacenters and the cloud.

User transparency

Global server load balancing gives end users a single, consistent path to their applications, regardless of which enterprise or cloud datacenter happens to be hosting the application at any given time.
