NetScaler is a line of networking products owned by Cloud Software Group. The products consist of multiple networking tools and services. NetScaler was initially developed in 1997 by Michel K Susai[1] and acquired by Citrix Systems in 2005. Citrix consolidated all of its networking products under the NetScaler brand in 2016.[1] On September 30, 2022, when Citrix was taken private as part of the merger with TIBCO Software, NetScaler was formed as a business unit under the Cloud Software Group.[2] OverviewThe NetScaler line of products are the networking business unit for Cloud Software Group.[2] It includes NetScaler ADCs, NetScaler Unified Gateway, NetScaler AppFirewall, NetScaler Intelligent Traffic Management, and NetScaler Application Delivery Manager.[3][4] The products can work in conjunction with other Cloud Software Group offerings, including its Citrix and Xen line of products.[3] NetScaler is integrated with OpenStack as part of Cloud Software Group's sponsorship of the OpenStack Foundation.[5] ProductsNetScaler is an application delivery controller (ADC).[6] and described by TechTarget's Michael Otey as "Cloud Software Group’s core networking product".[6] It The product is aimed at business customers and it performs tasks such as traffic optimization, L4-L7 load balancing,[7] and web app acceleration[8][9] while maintaining data security.[10] NetScaler monitors server health and allocates network and application traffic to additional servers for efficient use of resources.[11][7] It also performs several kinds of caching and compression.[12] It can be made a server proxy, process SSL requests, and offers VPN and micro-app VPN operations. It also includes NetScaler application firewall and SSL encryption capabilities.[12][11] NetScaler ADC can manage traffic during DDoS attacks, making sure traffic gets to critical applications.[10] Additionally, NetScaler's logs of network activity feed into Citrix's cloud-based analytics service and are used to analyze and identify security risks.[13] There are five versions of NetScaler:[6] NetScaler MPX, a hardware-based appliance for use in data centers;[6] NetScaler SDX, a hardware-based appliance intended for service providers that provides virtualization delivering multitenancy for virtual and cloud-based data centers;[12][14] NetScaler VPX, a software-based application that is implemented as a virtual machine and intended for small business use;[15] and NetScaler CPX, a NetScaler ADC packaged in a container and designed for cloud and microservices applications.[6] NetScaler BLX is a software form factor that runs natively on bare-metal Linux servers, without a hypervisor or container layer.[16] NetScaler Unified Gateway allows for remote access of virtual desktops and a variety applications from a single point of entry and with single sign-on.[3][17][18] The NetScaler Application Delivery Management (ADM) is a platform designed for the organization and automation of policy management across devices and applications.[19] The tool is used to manage the various NetScaler products from a single dashboard.[3] The platform also provides analytics.[19] History
