December 07 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced a strategic
alliance focused on providing application delivery networking
solutions to enterprise customers in the Korean market. LG-Nortel,
which boasts approximately 40 percent of the application delivery
controller (ADC) market in Korea, will now distribute Citrix®
NetScaler®, the industry-leading technology that accelerates and
secures web applications for thousands of corporate and web
customers and is a key component of the company’s virtualization,
networking and cloud computing strategy. NetScaler is also the
delivery infrastructure of choice for most of the world’s largest
consumer websites and cloud providers, touching an estimated 75
percent of all Internet users each day.
LG-Nortel will establish a comprehensive application delivery
infrastructure product line-up that will reinforce its domestic
communication equipment portfolio. By adding NetScaler, LG-Nortel
gains a partner that is stable and committed to the Korean
marketplace, where the L4-L7 market size is approximately $60
million per year. The strategic alliance and sole distribution
agreement encompasses the entire Citrix® NetScaler® MPX™ hardware
product line, as well as the new Citrix® NetScaler® VPX™ virtual
appliance portfolio (see “Citrix NetScaler Goes Virtual”).
Together, Citrix and LG-Nortel will deliver solutions that meet the
broad requirements of the Korean market – a comprehensive set of
solutions that span the needs of the small businesses, large
enterprises, telecommunications companies and cloud providers.
“LG-Nortel, the leader in the growing communication equipment
market in Korea, represents a key, strategic alliance for us,” said
Klaus Oestermann, group vice president and general manager, Network
and Cloud Product Group, Citrix Systems. “Through this partnership,
we will be able to offer a truly valuable networking solution where
it is needed most – in the emerging communications and cloud
computing market in Korea.”
“With this business partnership, LG-Nortel has significantly
expanded its product portfolio and can now offer a variety of
secure application delivery networking solutions,” said JD An, vice
president, Enterprise Solutions, LG-Nortel. “In doing so, LG-Nortel
establishes itself as the global communication equipment provider
that consistently offers the most value to customers.”
NetScaler, a key component of an application delivery
infrastructure, is an integrated web application delivery
controller that functions as an application accelerator through
caching and HTTP compression. NetScaler also provides advanced
traffic management through Layer 4-7 load balancing and content
switching, and includes application security via a web application
firewall and SSL VPN. NetScaler further offloads application and
web servers to ensure application availability, increased security
through SSL, and server consolidation. It reduces the TCO of web
application delivery, optimizes the user experience and makes
applications run five times better. NetScaler appliances are
available in both hardware and virtual versions, for any throughput
need-from 10 Mbps to over 18 Gbps.
