NetScaler Features

NetScaler Benefits

Dynamic response to dynamic workloads - NetScaler dynamically responds to changing workloads even with unpredictable traffic. When high traffic volume occurs, NetScaler automatically reallocates resources and adds or subtracts back-end capacity.
NetScaler leverages intelligent content switching and advanced multi-level compression. Dynamic content caching immediately delivers frequently-requested content.
Organizations can also monitor application performance at the user level and measure the total benefit of application acceleration capabilities.

With NetScaler, organizations can optimize the user experience by delivering more applications to more users. Because NetScaler accelerates web application performance up to 5X faster, users are more productive and experience application availability without interruption. Organizations not only gain the best possible application performance, they also realize network bandwidth savings.

Traffic management - NetScaler provides L4-7 traffic management and Global Server Load Balancing.

It avoids a single point of failure and serves as a key element in disaster recovery strategies.

Efficient use of existing infrastructure and lower TCO - NetScaler off-loads servers from tasks they don’t perform well, i.e., compute-intensive tasks and repetitive network processing functions

Organizations realize substantially lowers costs by reducing the TCO of Web application delivery, i.e., reduces server costs by up to 80%.  Deploys Web 2.0 applications without substantial infrastructure changes.

Essential application protection – NetScaler delvers integrated application firewall protection of sensitive information through day zero attack protection and integrated XML security.  Also includes comprehensive AAA capabilities and DoS shield.

NetScaler prevents unauthorized access and the loss of valuable corporate and customer data. Aids in compliance with regulations, including HIPAA and PCI-DSS. Permits secure remote access.

WANScaler Features

WANScaler Benefits

An industry-first technology - The AutoOptimizer Engine, the cornerstone of the WANScaler architecture, offers flexible deployment options including:
WANScaler Client for remote home office and on-the-road users.
WANScaler appliances which support larger branch office users.

Users enjoy accelerated application delivery and response time across the WAN. It improves productivity, defers unnecessary and expensive bandwidth upgrades, and facilitates application resources consolidation within data centers.

Deploy applications anywhere - WANScaler supports hundreds of branch offices and WAN throughput up to 500 Mbps. The AutoOptimizer Engine dynamically applies the best WAN performance-boosting techniques based on real-time application traffic conditions, e.g., TCP flow control, multi-level compression, protocol acceleration, and layer 4 service policies. The AutoOptimizer Engine takes a no-dials approach to WAN optimization and application acceleration.

Organizations experience reduced link congestion, increased WAN throughput, and improved application response times for all applications. They can support more users and increased application traffic on their WAN infrastructure and realize improved performance. Users can actually use the application without waiting for it.

Transparent application delivery - WANScaler offers a completely transparent, end-to-end solution for all IP-based WANs, e.g., private leased lines, public Internet VPNs, satellite and wireless WANs. As a truly network-transparent WAN optimization solution, WANScaler appliances are automatically discovered, configured, and tuned without disturbing the existing infrastructure. Based on network conditions, data flows, and application mix, the AutoOptimizer Engine applies the right mix of WAN acceleration techniques automatically; it dynamically tunes the system as variables change.

WANScaler eliminates the need to change current network tools, firewalls, network services, or applications. During deployment, your network monitoring tools, firewalls, and applications do not require reconfiguration or modification - an easy and flexible approach to WAN deployment and optimization at all times under all kinds of conditions. As a result, it reduces on-going IT maintenance costs.

Application and data delivery acceleration - WANScaler immediately detects application protocols, i.e., CIFS, FTP, NFS, and HTTP and automatically applies the most efficient optimization methods.

Organizations experience faster application response times and better bandwidth utilization.

Class of Service (CoS) and Quality of Service (QoS) allow rate shaping, prioritization, and granular enterprise traffic management.

Organizations realize guaranteed predictable response times in heavily congested environments.
