October 05 2010 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) announced a new solution
that will transform today’s traditional enterprise datacenter built
upon rigid, isolated network devices into tomorrow’s cloud-based
virtual datacenter that is flexible and scalable enough to deliver
IT as an on-demand service. With Citrix® NetScaler® VPX™ web
application delivery software tested and fully certified to
integrate with HP’s high-performance 5400zl and 8200zl switch
series, Citrix is now enabling IT organizations to turn networking
into a virtualized datacenter service by embedding
application-layer intelligence and control more deeply into the
networking fabric. The combined solution enables customers to
converge two core data center capabilities, LAN switching and L4-7
load balancing into a single device to help lower operational
costs, increase application availability and speed performance.
Citrix is leveraging the global reach of common channel partners
to deliver the industry’s only solution marrying market-leading
load balancing with data center switching. All editions of
NetScaler VPX integrate with the HP networking architecture
supporting performance levels up to 1 Gbps. NetScaler integration
is available via the HP AllianceONE Services zl Module for the HP
5400zl and 8200zl switch series, enabling data center managers to
simplify their network architectures at the core and aggregation
switch layers. Certified interoperability between recognized
leaders in networking provides customers with the confidence to
design intelligence into the fabric of the next-generation data
center fabric.
