Citrix has announced the new NetScaler T1000 series which integrates ByteMobile optimization technology with the NetScaler platform architecture.
The NetScaler T1000 combines optimization technology for enhanced mobile subscriber experience with ADC technology for improved network efficiency. The software-first foundation that powers the Citrix Networking portfolio helps customers protect and future-proof their technology investments as the NetScaler platform can be easily updated to address new technologies and industry trends for the secure delivery of applications and data.
The platform combines subscriber-aware steering, optimization, load balancing, CGNAT and unique traffic identification and optimization technology all in one platform.
NetScaler can also scale at a dramatically lower cost per unit of capacity; ensure the ability to evolve different elements of a network at different rates; and be leveraged seamlessly across physical, hybrid and fully virtualized and containerized implementations to facilitate the migration to NFV.
Citrix introduces this new enhanced platform which includes: a flexible architecture to manage different types of traffic; increased capacity which enables operational agility and flexibility; enhanced IT efficiencies through higher infrastructure utilization and consolidation ratios; and lower TCO of datacenter and network operations.
With the NetScaler T1000, service providers may also consolidate multiple use cases on a single platform, allowing operators to simplify S/Gi-LAN deployment and reduce complexity and inefficiency. The most impactful consolidated scenario is that of carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT), data-plane load balancing, optimization and traffic steering.
The NetScaler T1000 also lets service providers scale mobile S/Gi-LAN services.
Citrix NetScaler T1000 will be generally available in Q1 2016.
