Problem
The internet is a blind spot for application delivery over which you have no control. The result is poor application response time that can negatively impact application end-user experience resulting in the loss of workforce productivity, customer loyalty, brand reputation, and revenue.

Game changer
NetScaler Intelligent Traffic Management uses real-time and historical telemetry to give you visibility into the state of the internet. Now you can bypass internet bottlenecks and direct traffic to locations with the lowest latency and fewest active connections to ensure an optimal application end-user experience.

Game changer
Intent-based application delivery from NetScaler automates the lifecycle management of ADCs based on policies you define. This declarative approach requires no programming expertise. You simply define the ideal state, and then NetScaler does the rest — such as automatically selecting the best hosting location for your applications based on individual user requests.

Problem
While attackers are becoming more sophisticated in their attack methods, many are successful at compromising your applications by using tried-and-true methods like DDoS attacks.

Game changer
To stop DNS-based DDoS attacks, NetScaler Intelligent Traffic Management provides scalable DNS resolution at the edge rather than the data center for faster responses to user DNS queries up to 1 million requests per second.

Problem
IT teams are integrating security inspections into their ADCs to protect applications from attack, but layers of security introduce long delays, which can degrade application performance.

Game changer
NetScaler uses a one-pass architecture for traffic processing that enables it to perform many functions simultaneously, reducing latency and improving performance. This applies in particular to WAF inspection, where the latency of each request can be reduced significantly.

Game changer
NetScaler uses hundreds of network traffic data points — more than any competing solution — to pinpoint performance and security issues. By turning these insights into policy-based actions, you can eliminate performance and security blind spots.
