Citrix has significantly reduced the complexity of app delivery and security. One of the most difficult things that IT must handle is the secure delivery of apps. But all of that is about to change. Citrix Systems, Inc. has launched Citrix App Delivery and Security Service, a new, intent-based cloud service that automates the process in real-time. Citrix App Delivery and Security service, the first and only solution of its type, eliminates complexity from every stage of app delivery, including provisioning, securing, onboarding, and administration, enabling IT to offer a superior experience that keeps users engaged and productive.
“Application experience is the new currency for IT,” said Rohit Mehra, Group Vice President, Network and Telecom Infrastructure at independent analyst firm IDC.
Added, “Organizations that deliver a secure, reliable one can drive competitive advantage and workforce productivity, but to do so requires a new approach and app delivery system that can self-detect issues and automatically correct for them.”
Citrix App Delivery and Security Service is specifically designed to assist IT change app delivery from a sluggish, manual process based mostly on guessing to a fast, automated process driven by intent, giving them the agility they need to keep up with the business and provide significant results. The following are some of the solution’s primary features:
• Intent-based – Translates business and technical intent into app delivery and security policies and configurations automatically. Administrators can set a maximum acceptable application latency threshold for an area, for example, and servers and systems will change to ensure app delivery inside those limits.
• Self-Healing and Continuously Optimizing – Auto-detects and corrects application delivery issues such as performance degradation, additional demands, and outages. When a slow server is discovered, it can be removed from the load balancing pool automatically.
• Internet-Condition Aware — Citrix Intelligent Traffic ManagementTM collects and analyses 10 billion data points each day from more than one billion users across 50,000 networks in 200 countries to provide real-time visibility into the state of the Internet. With this information, IT can improve the application experience for individual users and recommend the ideal locations for additional hosting sites as traffic increases.
• Integrated App and API Security – web application firewall, Bot management, and API protection provide complete protection of the most valuable and susceptible assets.
“Citrix App Delivery and Security Service is going be a game-changer for SAAS and microservices,” said Geoffrey Knaak, Technical Manager, Senior Systems Administrator, Aria Systems, Inc.
He added, “It has the perfect mix of customizability and built-in intelligence that will allow enterprises to deploy their revenue generating apps quickly and securely without sacrificing the functionality that their customers depend on.”
