Pooled capacity

Pooled capacity in NetScaler is a licensing framework that comprises a common bandwidth and instance pool that is hosted on and served by NetScaler Console. From this common pool, each NetScaler instance in your data center, regardless of platform or form factor, checks out one instance license and only as much bandwidth as it needs. The license file and the bandwidth are not bound to the instance. When the instance no longer requires these resources, it checks them back in to the common pool, making the resources available to other instances that need them.

Note

In NetScaler Console, one of the agents is the license server.

This licensing framework maximizes bandwidth utilization by ensuring that instances are not allocated bandwidth more than their requirement. The ability of the NetScaler instances to check licenses and bandwidth in and out of a common pool also enables you to automate instance provisioning.

You can increase or decrease the bandwidth allocated to an instance at run time without impacting traffic. You can also transfer the licenses in the pool from one instance to another.
