Citrix is pleased to announce the availability of Citrix ADC VPX on Google Cloud Platform. With this launch, Citrix ADC is now available on all major cloud providers.

“With its software-first strategy, Citrix ADC VPX on Google Cloud allows customers the flexibility to move workloads as they wish,” said Marissa Schmidt, Senior Director Product Management, Citrix. “The unique Citrix ADC Pooled Capacity licensing methodology, enables customers to create an extremely adaptable hybrid-cloud environment with workloads on-premises and in Google Cloud,” she added.

The Citrix ADC delivers an integrated and easy-to-use platform. It is deployed directly in front of web and database servers. It runs in thousands of networks around the globe to optimize, secure, and control the delivery of enterprise and cloud services, and now it can run on applications built on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Citrix ADC is built from the ground up with a software-first approach. It does not rely on hardware tricks to get the best performance from general purpose computing stacks; rather it is well suited for cloud environments, like GCP. Citrix ADC features available on Google Cloud include: Load balancing, ICA Proxy, Content switching, Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (with nFactor), and VPN and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). The capabilities supported on GCP will continue to grow.

“We’re delighted that Citrix has chosen to bring its Citrix ADC capabilities to Google Cloud, making Google Cloud an even stronger choice for enterprise customers who want to expand their cloud usage,” said Prajakta Joshi, Senior Product Manager at Google Cloud. “Customers will have the flexibility to move their on-premises applications — like Citrix Virtual Apps, Desktops, and web apps — to Google Cloud much more easily.”

With the availability of Citrix ADC in GCP, Citrix joins forces with Google Cloud in the journey to making cloud deployments simple and seamless for our customers. Citrix ADC can be deployed as a virtual or containerized application. You can download the images from Github and view installation instructions in the Citrix ADC documentation.
