Networking has always been foundational to Citrix environments, but today it’s more important than ever. Citrix ADC can play a key role in any business continuity plan (BCP) by front-ending Citrix Workspace or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops — on prem or in the cloud.

  • Capabilities such as load balancing and global server load balancing (GSLB) ensure uninterrupted access to apps and data, even if a server, data center, or cloud is unavailable.
  • During unplanned events when most users work from home, Citrix ADC can automatically scale capacity and instances in public and private clouds.

Now you can learn Citrix networking fundamentals by training on the latest release of Citrix ADC — version 13.0. Our new Citrix Education course, CNS-225: Deploy and Manage Citrix ADC 13.x with Traffic Management, combines product basics like platforms, architecture, and security with new features:

  • BLX platform: A lightweight software package that runs natively on Linux systems, with no virtual machine overhead
  • In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU): An easier way to update Citrix ADC appliances in a high-availability setup by replacing the force failover operation step in the upgrade process
  • Priority load balancing: A feature that enables you to assign a priority number for each service or service group that is bound to a priority load balancing virtual server

The new course also focuses on traffic management, covering the AppExpert policy engine, rewrite and responder features, and content switching. This five-day course is offered in two instructor-led formats: classroom and virtual.
