Essential productivity apps like Teams, OneDrive, and other data-heavy tools put increasing pressure on traditional networks, slowing app performance and limiting productivity. Backhauling this traffic to a central data center can cause latency, resulting in a poor user experience. Citrix SD-WAN supports Microsoft’s Office 365 network connectivity principles to ensure reliable connectivity to the nearest Office 365 front doors directly from branch locations. Learn more
Extend the network to Microsoft Azure faster with automated provisioning of Citrix SD-WAN VPX instances. Citrix offers an automated on-ramp for Azure with one-click provisioning of its SD-WAN virtual appliance (VPX) and resources within existing or new virtual networks (VNets). Gain additional bandwidth and network redundancy with SD-WAN while smart load balancing ensures reliability in the event link conditions degrade or experience outages. Built-in intelligence in Citrix SD-WAN selects the best WAN link in real-time allowing users to benefit from a consistent, high-performance experience. Further, security options make it easy to protect traffic over the network and in the cloud. Explore the value of Citrix SD-WAN for Azure Virtual WAN. Learn more
Citrix SD-WAN now optimizes the experience for users accessing hosted or managed desktops, SaaS including Office 365, and more. When adding an SD-WAN virtual appliance in Azure, Citrix SD-WAN can prioritize the critical streams of HDX traffic, such as real-time audio, between the offices and the SD-WAN instance in Azure. Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring provides networking teams deep visibility into desktop sessions, HDX users, and virtual apps. For Microsoft Teams, since Citrix optimizes and redirects the traffic to the local user device, SD-WAN can steer this traffic directly to the cloud avoiding unnecessary network hops that result in latency.
Networking teams can configure and manage Citrix SD-WAN from a single platform, allowing them to view, monitor, and adjust bandwidth usage quickly and to ensure the best user experience. Citrix SD-WAN for Azure and “Works with Office 365” help deliver the modern desktop. Citrix SD-WAN integrates with Azure to automate policy control and deployment for reliable cloud application delivery over the WAN.
