Citrix
NetScaler Application Switch
Maximum Application Performance with Comprehensive Traffic Management
Citrix® NetScaler® Application Switch is an ideal solution
for any enterprise seeking comprehensive traffic management, application
acceleration, network optimization and attack defenses.
Application Acceleration
Citrix NetScaler Application Switch increases the speed of application
delivery up to 15 times by leveraging multiple acceleration technologies
and innovative TCP optimizations. TCP optimizations improve
the underlying application delivery network by enhancing the
efficiency of both client and server connections, while remaining
entirely transparent to application users.
Citrix
AppCompress(tm) and Citrix
AppCache(tm) deliver highly efficient data compresssion and
content caching to speed application responses. These capabilities
are available in the NetScaler Application Switch Enterprise Edition
and Standard Edition.
L4-7 Load Balancing
NetScaler Application Switch distributes traffic and directs client
requests to the right application server based on layer 4 or
application-layer request data. In addition, NetScaler
Application Switch provides multiple methods to monitor the health
of application servers to ensure continuous application availability.
Citrix NetScaler Application Switch is an ideal replacement for
aging load balancers and other traffic management devices. Replacing
legacy devices with NetScaler Application Switch reduces network
complexity and operational costs, and streamlines the application
delivery infrastructure with the industry’s leading technologies.
SSL Acceleration
NetScaler Application Switch integrates hardware-based SSL acceleration
to offload the compute intensive processes of SSL connection
setup and bulk encryption from Web servers. SSL acceleration
reduces CPU utilization on servers, enhancing application response
times and freeing server resources for more users.
Application Security
Citrix’s patented Request
Switching(r) technology enables Citrix NetScaler Application
Switch to forward valid client requests and block illegitimate
requests. The Application Switch includes built-in defenses against
damaging denial of service (DoS) attacks. Content inspection capabilities
enable NetScaler Application Switch to identify and block application-based
attacks.
