Citrix announced today the availability of its new NetScaler T1000 series. The new series integrates ByteMobile optimization technology with NetScaler’s platform architecture in order to enhance the mobile subscriber experience.
To ensure future success, service providers need a platform that can easily scale out to meet the continued explosive rapid growth of mobile traffic – specifically the rise of encrypted mobile video and content. According to the 2016 Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast, mobile video will grow at a CAGR of 62 percent between 2015 and 2020 with three-fourths (75 percent) of the world’s mobile data traffic consisting of video traffic by 2020.
Service providers need a solution that directly addresses the evolution of this traffic. Mobile video presently places the most stress on the mobile network yet its delivery serves as a key differentiator within the highly competitive mobile service provider marketplace. The optimization of this traffic becomes even more essential to meet the demands to improve network efficiency and enhance user experience – providing higher quality videos with less stalling to ultimately enhance subscriber quality of experience (QoE). Service providers are also seeking a platform that can dynamically and efficiently steer traffic through the most efficient service paths, directly determined by the subscribers’ needs. This helps reduce latency, improve speed and preserve functionality. Perhaps most importantly however, this can greatly reduce the costs to the service provider in delivering new services. The NetScaler T1000 platform combines subscriber-aware steering, load balancing, CGNAT and unique traffic identification and optimization technology – all in one single platform.
NetScaler is the only platform that can: scale at a dramatically lower cost per unit of capacity; provide the fluidity to evolve different elements of a network at different rates; and be leveraged seamlessly across physical, hybrid and fully virtualized and containerized implementations to assist the migration to NFV.
As the leader in the application virtualization and delivery markets, Citrix introduces this new enhanced platform which includes: a flexible architecture to manage different types of traffic; increased capacity which enables operational agility and flexibility; enhanced IT efficiencies through higher infrastructure utilization and consolidation ratios; and lower TCO of datacenter and network operations.
Additional benefits of the NetScaler T1000 for service providers include providing the ability to:
- Consolidate multiple functions on a single platform – Allows operators to simplify S/Gi-LAN deployment and reduce complexity and inefficiency. The most impactful consolidated scenario is that of carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT), data-plane load balancing, optimization and traffic steering.
- Scale mobile S/Gi-LAN services – Enables operators to scale out any network use case, including optimization and load balancing, CGNAT, optimization and traffic-steering in the data plane; and LTE DNS, SMPP, SIP, and Diameter load-balancing in the control plane.
- Platform and scalability options to address different network sizes – NetScaler T1000 comes in models supporting from 20 Gbps to 100 Gbps and 100 Gbps to 160 Gbps with paygrow options that allow license upgrades to higher throughputs. Furthermore, clustering of appliances can scale capacity up to 3.3 Tbps.
- Improved CAPEX and OPEX – NetScaler T1000 significantly lowers the cost per Gigabit capacity, providing up to 1/3 the cost of competitive ASIC-based platforms. Mobile operators can augment their networks with NetScaler and lower their overall total cost of ownership.
- Transition to automated and virtualized networks – NetScaler is certified with popular OpenStack distributions, such as Red Hat and Mirantis, and can be deployed as a physical network function (PNF). Furthermore, the NetScaler virtual ADCs, the VPX, can co-exist with NetScaler PNFs in a hybrid network exposing the same APIs to NFV orchestration platforms allowing all NetScaler platforms to be managed using the same management framework.
Citrix NetScaler T1000 will be generally available in Q1 2016. For more info, check out these blog entries:
