Citrix and Bytemobile Partner to Develop Scalable Solutions for Mobile Operators
February 27 2012 - 2:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), a leading provider of mobile
and cloud solutions, and Bytemobile, Inc., the industry leader in
video optimization and Smart Capacity™ solutions for mobile network
operators (MNOs), today announced the formation of a strategic
partnership that will result in the delivery of innovative new
solutions for the mobile data market. The partnership between the
two companies combines the expertise of Citrix® NetScaler® in
mobile computing solutions and flexible application delivery with
Bytemobile’s best-in-class traffic management and data optimization
solutions, as well as its global footprint of MNO deployments. The
synergy between these core competencies will enable operators to
deliver the best possible subscriber experience under all network
conditions and fully monetize all subscriber traffic – while
scaling their solutions to meet subscriber demand. As part of the
partnership, Bytemobile has been verified as being Citrix
Ready®.
“Mobile carriers today are wrestling with maintaining
profitability while also managing explosive growth of video, data
and 4G traffic,” said Klaus Oestermann, group vice president and
general manager, Cloud Networking Product Group at Citrix. “They
are in need of next-generation architecture to scale and optimize
data, video and voice in an intelligent manner. The unique
combination of expertise between Citrix and Bytemobile will
revolutionize traffic management, enabling mobile carriers to
dramatically reduce spending while increasing profitability and
accelerating their move to 4G.”
“Wireless networks of the future require a completely different
architecture than today’s voice-dominated design − and thus require
a different way of thinking,” said Chris Koopmans, chief operating
officer of Bytemobile. “As voice gives way to video and data in all
aspects of a mobile operator’s business – including revenue,
traffic, and subscriber satisfaction – carriers need to revamp
their network to deliver visibility and control at the content
layer. Smarter tools will be necessary for them to deliver the best
service to their subscribers and capture the market opportunity in
front of them. We are excited to partner with Citrix in addressing
this challenge and developing highly optimized and integrated
solutions offering smart capacity in a scalable, on-demand manner
as operators manage their 3G networks and build out their 4G and
cloud-based data services.”
Citrix NetScaler application delivery technology powers the
world’s leading cloud and service providers. NetScaler makes
applications and cloud-based services run five times better by
scaling, accelerating application and service performance, and
integrating security. Touching an estimated 75 percent of all

Bytemobile has over a decade of expertise in Smart Capacity
management for mobile network operators. Its technology enables
operators to better utilize the capacity of existing resources to

technology has been deployed with over 130 operators in more than
60 countries, serving nearly 2 billion subscribers. Over 20
petabytes (PB) of data traffic flow through these operators’
