Citrix NetScaler and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Now
Certified to Work Together
Customers are increasingly faced with the challenge of scaling their
OpenStack deployments and are looking for production-grade
infrastructure that supports the demands of their business. Today,
Citrix is unveiling the integration and certification of its
market-leading application delivery controller, NetScaler, with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. For the first time, customers can
now assemble their cloud infrastructure using best of breed components
from Citrix and Red Hat. The joint solution provides customers with
access to a broader portfolio of products to further boost the
performance and scale provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform deployments.
NetScaler is used as core infrastructure for some of the largest cloud
providers in the world, and this announcement brings the power of
comprehensive networking infrastructure solutions to customers choosing
to build their clouds on OpenStack. Earlier this year, Citrix joined
the Open Stack Foundation with a view towards supporting
industry and customer initiatives in building highly scalable public
and private clouds. As customers drive towards building
fully-integrated, “lights-out” datacenters with minimal manual
configuration and intervention, this integration provides them with
fully automated control over services through a single control point -
the newly available NetScaler Control Center.
NetScaler Control Center offers customers the ability to deploy complex
configurations including clustering, all managed through a single
management control pane. NetScaler Control Center allows for the full
range of deployment methods natively integrated with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux OpenStack Platform, and customers can use a single, native
OpenStack configuration to automatically drive configuration changes to
NetScaler.
