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.
