Vianen, 2 oktober 2007 - Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), wereldwijd marktleider op het gebied van application delivery infrastructure, introduceert zijn WANScaler Client op de EMEA-markt. Hiermee ervaren gebruikers op een wide area network (WAN) dezelfde applicatieprestaties als op een LAN, zelfs wanneer zij niet op een nevenkantoor aanwezig zijn.
Citrix WANScaler is een belangrijk onderdeel van de uitgebreide application delivery infrastructure van Citrix. Hiermee kunnen klanten op kostenefficiënte manier application delivery realiseren bij gebruikers, onafhankelijk van waar zij zich bevinden, tegen de beste prestaties en met de beste beveiliging. Daarnaast biedt de application delivery infrastructure ondersteuning voor een wereldwijde of multi-site organisatie.
Met WAN-optimalisatie-oplossingen als Citrix WANScaler verhogen organisaties de productiviteit omdat applicaties en data sneller beschikbaar zijn voor gebruikers. Daarnaast verbetert de compliance door de centralisatie van data en vermindert de total cost of ownership (TCO). Tegelijkertijd worden de investeringen snel terugverdiend door besparingen op bandbreedte en hardware upgrades en kunnen dure netwerken worden vervangen door internet VPN’s.

Citrix Brings Faster, Secure Application Delivery Over WAN to European Market
Citrix WANScaler Client offers accelerated application delivery to mobile users
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced the availability of its WANScaler Client into the EMEA market. WANScaler Client provides LAN-like application performance to employees over Wide Area Networks (WANs), even when outside of branch office locations.
Citrix WANScaler forms a vital part of Citrix’s enhanced application delivery infrastructure which enables customers to deliver any application to any user anywhere with the best performance, security and cost savings, and also helps to power the global or multi-site enterprise.
WAN Optimization appliances like Citrix WANScaler allow organisations to improve productivity, as users waste less time in waiting for applications and data. Organisations can also achieve improved regulatory compliance by centralizing data and a lower total cost of ownership while maximising return-on-investment by deferring bandwidth and hardware upgrades and replacing expensive data circuits with Internet VPNs.
Citrix WANScaler offers three main functions which optimize WAN links; 1) optimizing available bandwidth by using adaptive TCP flow mechanisms, thereby making bandwidth more efficient, 2) By using multi-level data compression which compacts the amount of data which travels across the WAN and 3) By reducing latency of inefficient protocols via protocol-specific accelerators.
Industry analysts have estimated that as many as sixty per cent of employees now access applications while working from a branch office, and up to ninety per cent require regular access to applications while working from home or on the road. As such organizations now require application delivery solutions which can extend LAN-like performance and security to application users wherever they may be. Citrix WANScaler Client allows businesses to offer mobile- and home-based users the benefits of WAN optimization at any location by installing its client on each users PC, negating the traditional performance reduction inherent in remote application access.
Citrix WANScaler also dovetails seamlessly with Citrix Access Gateway SSL VPN technology to help organizations eradicate the classic trade-off between enhanced application performance and secure application access for mobile employees.
“Citrix WANScaler is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing network infrastructure and enterprise applications, requiring no modifications to router, security or quality of service (QoS) policies,” said Klaus Oestermann, vice president and general manager, Application Networking Group, Citrix Systems. As a result, Citrix customers can enjoy instantly accelerated delivery of applications to branch users, remote and mobile workers and enhanced productivity balanced by reduced IT costs.”
Citrix WANScaler has previously been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant by Gartner, Inc. in its Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers report and as a ‘Strong Performer’ by Forrester Research in its 2007 Forrester Wave Report: WAN Optimization Appliances.
