Datacenter and Cloud Solutions
Our Datacenter and Cloud Solutions bring lower operating costs, greater flexibility and cloud-enablement to
the enterprise datacenter. These products are also designed to power public “clouds” when used by hosting and
cloud service providers. Our datacenter and cloud solutions include virtual infrastructure and application
networking products.
Virtual Infrastructure Products
Citrix XenServer and Citrix Essentials offer powerful virtual infrastructure for improving operational
efficiencies in the enterprise datacenter and for public cloud service providers:
•Citrix®XenServer™ is an enterprise-class platform for managing server virtualization in the datacenter
as a flexible aggregated pool of computing and storage resources. Based on the high-performance Xen
virtualization engine, XenServer combines comprehensive server virtualization capabilities with
scalability, performance and ease-of-use. XenServer is offered free of charge to any user for unlimited
production deployment.
•Citrix Essentials ™ for XenServer™ and Hyper-V™, announced in February 2009, adds a set of
advanced management and automation capabilities to the Citrix and Microsoft server virtualization
platforms. This solution adds the following capabilities to existing virtualization management systems:
lab automation, high availability, provisioning, workflow orchestration and seamless integration with
leading storage systems.
Application Networking Products
Citrix NetScaler, Citrix Access Gateway and Citrix Repeater Solutions improve the performance, security
and costs of delivering applications, desktops and web content over both public and private networks:
•Citrix®NetScaler®is an all-in-one Web application delivery controller that makes applications run
five times better by application accelerator methods such as HTTP compression and caching, ensuring
application availability through advanced L4-7 load balancer and content switching methods,
increasing application security with an integrated application firewall and substantially lowering costs
by offloading servers for server consolidation. It reduces Web application TCO, optimizes the
user experience and makes sure that applications are always available. NetScaler comes in both
built-for-purpose MPX-series hardware appliances powered by our nCore technology and an
economical form factor with our VPX virtual appliance that operates with any standard industry server
using our XenServer technology.
•Citrix Access Gateway™ is an SSL/VPN that securely delivers applications with policy-based
SmartAccess control. Users have easy-to-use secure access to the applications and data they need to be
productive. Organizations can cost effectively extend access to datacenter resources from outside the
office, while maintaining unprecedented control through comprehensive SmartAccess policies.
•Citrix Repeater™ solutions provide high-performance application delivery to branch office users that
increase productivity and reduce IT costs in the enterprise branch by delivering local area network-like
application performance over the wide area network, or WAN. Appliance products in the Citrix
Repeater family of solutions, including Citrix Branch Repeater™ (formerly WANScaler®) and Citrix
Branch Repeater™ with Windows Server®, developed in partnership with Microsoft, can accelerate
applications to datacenters and mobile workers. The AutoOptimizer™ Engine, which serves as the
cornerstone of the Citrix Repeater architecture, offers flexible deployment options. The Citrix Repeater
client software accelerates application delivery to other remote users including those in smaller branch
offices, home offices and business travelers, while users in larger branch offices are supported with
Citrix Repeater appliances.
