Citrix CloudConnector for CDN ... Extend your reach to the Internet Edge

Citrix CloudConnector for CDN ... Extend your reach to the Internet Edge -

We all understand the concept of optimization through a private network. It is easy to see what you can do when you control both sides of the connection, using products like Citrix NetScaler and Citrix Cloud Bridge. We are able to extend the L2 domain through a wide area infrastructure and provide seamless, optimized connectivity at the application level. The big question is, how can we take advantage of this technology when your end users are not on a network and you control how you extend that reach around the world without spending huge sums of money deployment of infrastructure worldwide?

Enter NetScaler CloudConnector for CDN ... .a solution that is specifically designed to take a publicly available CDN and make it available for "public" face of Internet applications only, but for applications " private "as well. CDNs, as we all know, are designed to push the content as close as possible to the end user, regardless of where they may be globally. They use technologies such as caching and other optimizations using things like BGP Anycast for DNS resolution to provide for the first mile, from the perspective of the end user, is as short as possible. However, CDNs are generally based on the contents of the cache. What about the non-cacheable content? And what about applications "intranet" private?

NetScaler CloudConnector for CDN provides a "hybrid" solution for networking using the NetScaler technology and a CDN. With NetScaler CloudConnector CDN for even the non-cacheable content is accelerated and delivered to the end user from the nearest available access points on both ends.

The deployment solution architecture leverages simple configurations, or on a Netscaler the existing data center or on a dedicated Netscaler Cloud Connector for use. This allows for optimized connectivity for different CDN POPs are also Citrix NetScaler license to the following:

• Caching
• Data Compression
• Data deduplication
• TCP optimizations
• fully encrypted and secure connectivity between CDN POP and Data Center Origin
• full tolerance of defects with several access points for the accelerated content

end user is fully directed to the nearest CDN POP where the Citrix Cloud Connector will speed up and optimize any content that must be retrieved from the original site. So, suddenly, you reap the benefits of caching at the edge, optimization of any / all non-cacheable dynamic content and extend the reach of your network and applications on the edges of the world with a converged solution. As mentioned above, this solution also adds a significant amount of fault tolerance for multiple access points, all geographically dispersed, with roads tolerant multiple failures on the content of the actual source. Access to the source content can also be locked and fully secure through IPSec connectivity provided by Citrix enabled CDN.

This solution has obvious advantages in the business by delivering content faster to the edges without the cost and complexity of deploying additional infrastructure worldwide. The same architecture can be leveraged to accelerate employee access to SaaS applications that can reside outside of the company.
