Introduction to the NetScaler product line

August 1, 2023

Contributed by:

The NetScaler product line optimizes delivery of applications over the internet and private networks, combining application-level security, optimization, and traffic management into a single, integrated appliance. You can install a NetScaler appliance in your server room and route all connections to your managed servers through it. The NetScaler features that you enable and the policies you set are then applied to incoming and outgoing traffic.

A NetScaler appliance can be integrated into any network as a complement to existing load balancers, servers, caches, and firewalls. It requires no additional client or server side software, and can be configured using the NetScaler web-based GUI and CLI configuration utilities.
