Today at Citrix Synergy™, where virtual computing takes center
stage, Citrix announced NetScaler® Cloud Gateway, a new product
that radically simplifies the delivery and management of apps and
IT services. Today’s modern enterprise is aggressively adopting a
new generation of cloud-based apps and SaaS services to achieve
greater agility and improved economics. The hidden cost of
migrating to these cloud services is an increasingly fragmented
administration of applications, networks and security. The
resulting number of application silos, identity management schemes,
and access control processes increases cost and complexity. Cloud
Gateway is a powerful solution that collapses and eliminates
application silos, providing a unified entrance for seamless access
and management of apps delivered from private or public clouds.
Cloud Gateway helps enterprise IT streamline traditional
silo-based architectures in favor of a much simpler,
service-oriented approach, designed to realize the “Power of One” -
one place for users to get self-service access to any app, one
login for any app or service, and one point of control for IT to
enforce consistent policies for compliance, access control,
auditing and quality of service (QoS). Cloud Gateway supports all
leading browsers and all versions of Citrix Receiver™, a universal
software client that provides users with easy, self-service access
to all their apps from any PC, Mac, tablet or smart phone. Unlike
other alternative offerings in this space, Cloud Gateway goes
beyond SaaS and web apps to fully support seamless, secure access
to any Windows app or desktop as well. Moreover, the Citrix
Receiver client provides a rich, native device experience that goes
beyond basic browser access with custom designed support for 1,000s
of different devices, including innovative new products like the HP
TouchPad, BlackBerry Playbook, and Google Chromebook.
What’s New
Cloud Gateway puts enterprise IT back in control of applications
delivered from public and private clouds by providing:
- Powerful user management to control the
full application lifecycle, including provisioning and
de-provisioning of all apps and services.
- Comprehensive service level management
that proactively monitors and manages the availability and app
performance experience across all SaaS, web and Windows apps.
- Broad license management capabilities
providing valuable insight into license utilization across a full
range of private and public cloud apps and services.
- Single dashboard view of everything
that matters across all SaaS, web and Windows apps.
From an end-user perspective, Cloud Gateway enables:
- Full self-service support for all apps
and devices through support for Citrix Receiver.
- Single-sign on, enabling users to log
in once to any app, and be automatically signed into any other app
they choose.
- Common identity and subscriber
credentials to access any application, including hundreds of
popular SaaS services.
- View, request and launch any
application from a self-service app store using any device with a
high definition user experience.
- Full application request workflow
support.
Easy and Flexible Deployment Options
- Cloud Gateway can be deployed as a
software virtual appliance, a security hardened hardware appliance,
or as a cloud-based service from one of the thousands of Citrix
service provider partners.
- Cloud Gateway can also be integrated
with Citrix Receiver, the award-winning universal client for IT
services.
Why it Matters
Cloud-delivered apps are becoming a mainstream part of the
enterprise app portfolio. While each SaaS, web and cloud app
provides its own native administration and delivery model, the
process of provisioning, managing and securing these apps is highly
fragmented and inconsistent. The modern IT organization needs the
ability to break free from silo-based approaches to app delivery –
as well as seamlessly weaving in Windows apps and desktops. Cloud
Gateway overcomes this dilemma by providing a “front door” to the
datacenter, giving IT a single point of control to connect and
deliver any private or public cloud app to any device.
Quotes
Drue Reeves, vice president and research director, Cloud
Computing and Data Center Strategies, Gartner
“As enterprises rapidly embrace applications delivered from
public cloud infrastructures, IT requires a simplified model to
manage and monitor all applications and services, regardless of
where they run. Subscribers of these services similarly want to
remain indifferent to the origin of the application workload. They
simply demand a consistent experience when accessing and consuming
public and private cloud services.”
Guido Haarmans, Vice President of Developer Programs and
Business Development, NetSuite
“The next wave of Citrix technology allows IT to manage user,
identity, and application usage information across cloud and
on-premise applications. This level of management integration to
create a single point of control for applications is especially
relevant for those NetSuite customers who deploy a two-tier model
whereby they run subsidiaries on NetSuite cloud ERP and integrate
them with headquarters on-premise legacy ERP systems.”
Aaron Levie, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer,
Box
"Organizations are realizing tremendous benefits by implementing
cloud-delivered applications, creating a workforce that is
significantly more productive, agile and mobile. But, enterprises
moving to the cloud are also facing entirely new IT challenges
around managing these services securely and at scale. Citrix
NetScaler Cloud Gateway will help organizations easily provision
and manage cloud applications like Box, all while creating a more
seamless experience for end users."
Filip Kesler, Vice President of Business Development,
Egnyte
“The new Citrix NetScaler Cloud Gateway technology provides
enterprise users with seamless access to on-premises and
off-premises data using Egnyte’s hybrid cloud storage. The
management of user identities, security policies and access control
in this environment enhances visibility and control for IT
managers. This integration will accelerate adoption of hybrid cloud
by large businesses.”
Klaus Oestermann, Group Vice President and General Manager,
Networking and Cloud Product Group
“NetScaler Cloud Gateway is a breakthrough solution for our
enterprise customers. It provides the level of management,
visibility and trust that enterprises have been missing as they
rely increasingly on cloud-based services while also unifying the
existing windows, web and desktop services into a single point of
control for IT. Cloud Gateway puts IT back in the driver’s seat of
their entire application portfolio via an unified application
dashboard including SaaS services while delivering on a seamless
user experience to drive customer delight.”
