    Data Sheet Citrix Application Delivery Management Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) is an intuitive, comprehensive platform that enables automation, orchestration, management, and analytics for application delivery across hybrid multi-cloud environments. To help you deliver the best application experience and availability for both monolithic and microservices-based applications, Citrix ADM provides one holistic view with the ability to drill down on specific details for easier troubleshooting, faster resolution, and actionable insights. Applications Drive Business We effectively live in an application economy where applications are synonymous with business productivity, growth, and customer experience. To stay competitive, organizations must be able to innovate rapidly and scale to meet customer demand while also minimizing downtime to prevent productivity and revenue loss. Doing this effectively and efficiently requires a transformation in application design, application delivery, and the type of network services employed by applications. Application Delivery Needs to Adapt As hybrid multi-cloud becomes the standard for application deployment, application components become distributed across disparate environments, which leads to fragmentation. This fragmentation introduces a number of challenges for delivering applications and network services: • Inconsistent configuration resulting from time-consuming and error-prone processes • Lack of clear visibility and insight across all environments • Fragmented troubleshooting With

  • Netscaler White Paper: a Foundation for Next-Generation Datacenter
    White Paper Citrix ADC (formerly NetScaler ADC) – A Foundation for Next- Generation Datacenter and Cloud-Based Security citrix.com White Paper Citrix NetScaler The need for robust datacenter security has never been greater. Traditional challenges and concerns—including extensive regulatory requirements, the rise of targeted attacks, and the continuing erosion of perimeter-centric security models—are now being joined by the need to account for highly dynamic enterprise cloud architectures and flat networks with fewer, natural ‘choke points.’ Add the ever-present budgetary pressures to do more with less, and it becomes clear that the foundation for stronger security must be built using existing datacenter infrastructure. Citrix® NetScaler®, the best application delivery controller (ADC) for building enterprise cloud networks, is precisely such a solution. Already a strategic component in thousands of enterprise datacenters, NetScaler delivers an extensive portfolio of essential datacenter security capabilities. Moreover, it minimizes the need for enterprises to invest in a large number of expensive, standalone security solutions. NetScaler not only provides critically important application security, network/ infrastructure security, and identity and access management, but also supports a rich ecosystem of partner products to cover adjacent security domains. NetScaler Datacenter Security Capabilities Application Security • NetScaler Application Firewall • Data Loss Protection • Layer 7 Attack Protection Network/Infrastructure Security • No Compromise SSL • DNS Security • Layer 4 Attack Protection Identity and Access Management Security Fabric / Partner Ecosystem The net result is a strong foundation for next-generation datacenter and cloud-based security that is also cost effective. citrix.com 2 White Paper Citrix NetScaler NetScaler for application security Security practitioners are justifiably investing substantial time, effort, and money on application- layer security.
