Citrix NetScaler VPX

Features

Accelerated deployment with enhanced scalability

NetScaler VPX runs on off-the-shelf servers with multiple hypervisor options, enabling new NetScaler instances to be rapidly provisioned anywhere in the datacenter that load balancing, application acceleration and application security are required. Performance capacities can be upgraded in the field within minutes with the simple addition of a Pay-as-You-Grow license.

Lower total cost of ownership

NetScaler VPX helps organisations control costs by leveraging processing capacity already in place, including existing virtualised servers and associated resources. Multiple NetScaler VPX instances can be deployed on a single server to maximize utilisation of hardware infrastructure, and low-cost commodity server platforms can be used for load balancing and other application delivery needs without creating dependence on specific server hardware.

High availability for Citrix XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop

Local and global server load balancing (GSLB), along with secure remote access, improve availability and security for Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix XenApp deployments without the need to deploy hardware appliances into the Citrix environment. Policy wizards enable quick and safe XenDesktop and XenApp configuration.

Application delivery for small business

NetScaler VPX brings advanced application delivery functionality within reach of organisations that may not have the budget or specialised IT expertise to purchase and install a traditional hardware-based appliance. Unlike competing solutions, the NetScaler VPX virtual appliance provides 100 percent feature parity with its appliance equivalents.
