Citrix announces Immediate Availability of Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Firewall
If you’re not familiar with the Palo Alto Networks-VM Series Firewall which was announced by both Palo Alto and their partner Citrix yesterday, that’s okay. Hang with me and I’ll explain why this matters to you if you’re job is to protect your corporate network from outside threats.
Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is a next-generation virtualized firewall and threat prevention offering, on the Citrix NetScaler SDX service delivery networking platform. This industry-first integration allows customers to use a single, multi-tenant platform to spin up dedicated advanced delivery controller (ADC) and next-generation firewall instances tailored to the specific needs of individual applications to safely enable applications, protect against known and unknown threats, and maximize application availability and performance.
That’s the techie nerdy description of what this is. Here’s the English version.
Virtualized and cloud environments have to be secure. But at the same time they also have to be efficient at delivering the right applications to the right users using any device and from any location. This isn’t easy to do. But with the VM-Series, a company can embrace the key characteristics of cloud and virtualized computing:
Multi-tenancy – the ability to support differing needs of new application owners, business units or service provider customers
Agility – the services must have the ability to be provisioned and de-provisioned on demand, with support for automation and orchestration
Scalability – the services must have the ability to flexibly scale up, scale out capacity to meet the needs of the business
Now Palo Alto has brought Citrix into the picture and they’ve brought their NetScaler SDX service delivery networking platform for enterprise and cloud datacenters. This allows companies to bring services to employees anywhere. The combination of the two allows organizations to achieve substantial infrastructure consolidation and reduce costs and complexity without compromising on functionality. The reason being is that they only have to manage a single box to deliver virtualized and cloud environments to end users securely.
I’ve embedded a video below that gives a brief overview of this. Enjoy!
