Citrix SD-WAN Platform Editions

Citrix SD-WAN appliances are available in three different editions, allowing you to deploy the features you need at each location with easy upgrades, configuration, and monitoring.

  • Citrix SD-WAN Premium (PE) – This Edition includes both Standard Edition and WAN Optimization features. Premium Edition Integrates WAN virtualization with WAN optimization capabilities to optimize branch and mobile user experience and to achieve fully resilient applications regardless of network quality.

  • Citrix SD-WAN Standard Edition (Virtual WAN/SE) – This Edition includes Standard Edition Virtual WAN features, only. Standard edition supports software-defined WAN capability to create a highly reliable network from multiple network links and to ensure that each application takes the best path to achieve the highest application performance.

  • Citrix SD-WAN Optimization Edition (WANOP) – This Edition includes WAN Optimization features, only. It supports application acceleration, data reduction, and protocol control to optimize applications across the WAN. Optionally, it can include virtual Windows Server to simplify branch infrastructure and mobile PC plug-in capability.

Note

The WANOP Edition and Standard/Premium Edition are separate hardware platforms running different software.

In a data center, administrators can deploy one Standard Edition and one WANOP Edition to achieve Premium Edition capabilities. In the branch office, administrators can choose to deploy either a Standard Edition or WANOP Edition. Alternatively, the benefits of both Standard and WANOP Editions can be accomplished by deploying a single Premium Edition at the branch office.
