Using NetScaler for ingress traffic management with Red Hat OpenShift
If you’re using or considering the Red Hat OpenShift enterprise platform for container orchestration, you may find it challenging to manage ingress in your Kubernetes environment. NetScaler is an elegant solution for routing, securing, and optimizing ingress traffic to a single or multiple OpenShift clusters.

Use NetScaler operators for Kubernetes ingress
h3
Getting requests into and out of an OpenShift cluster can be challenging. NetScaler solves this problem with operators that use Kubernetes constructs for providing ingress control into OpenShift clusters as well as automating the lifecycle management of NetScaler hardware and software application delivery controllers (ADCs).

Provide access to services external to an OpenShift cluster
h3
NetScaler seamlessly integrates into your existing networking fabric without creating additional hops, and it eliminates the need to re-architect your network. You can either deploy a NetScaler application delivery controller (ADC) outside an OpenShift cluster or deploy NetScaler CPX (a containerized ADC) as a pod inside the cluster.

Ensure consistent ingress across on-premises and cloud
h3
Because microservices can be deployed on-premises and on public cloud, using different ingress methods across environments leads to inconsistencies and adds to operational complexity. NetScaler provides a consistent approach to ingress for hybrid cloud application delivery.

Migrate legacy applications to OpenShift
h3
Traditionally, applications were written to use the TCP/UDP networking protocols, but Kubernetes ingress objects don’t support TCP, TCP-SSL, or UDP for microservices-based applications. NetScaler Ingress Controller supports TCP/UDP protocols along with HTTP/HTTPS requirements for modern application delivery.
transparent
Route application traffic
h3
You can route traffic between containers inside the Red Hat OpenShift platform using NetScaler CPX, a containerized application delivery controller
transparent
Optimize application traffic
h2
NetScaler observability goes beyond simple monitoring to not only alert you that something is wrong, but to also help you pinpoint application issues so you can fix them faster
transparent
Automate security configuration
h3
NetScaler supports SSL and mTLS as well as all certificate and key management solutions including Let’s Encrypt
transparent
Ensure failover handling for high availability
h3
As the access point for traffic into the cluster, NetScaler elastically scales to handle failover events without disruption or downtime — including any event that causes the cluster to be unavailable
transparent
Enable rolling upgrades
h3
The ability to upgrade applications without disrupting traffic is non-negotiable for production environments. NetScaler Ingress Controller supports software updates without downtime.
Using NetScaler with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for network automation
Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) is Red Hat’s suite of tools designed to automate IT operations, streamline workflows, and improve the efficiency and reliability of managing IT infrastructure. It is widely used by DevOps and systems administrators to manage infrastructure as code and to automate workflows. AAP comprises three components: Ansible Engine, Ansible Tower, and Automation Hub. NetScaler seamlessly integrates with AAP to provide network automation for Day 0 - N operations for faster application deployment.

Automate NetScaler configurations with an application-centric API
h3
NetScaler Next-Gen API features an intuitive application-centric interface that abstracts many of the low-level complexities of traditional NetScaler configurations and uses a declarative approach to achieve desired state for hybrid- and multi-cloud application delivery
transparent
No need to be a NetScaler expert
h3
NetScaler offers a declarative approach to configuring ADCs that simplifies application delivery and security, whether that’s implementing a single NetScaler capability or configuring NetScaler to deliver a complex enterprise application
transparent
Nothing additional to install
h2
Using Ansible with NetScaler is agentless: There’s no need to install or maintain additional software
Using NetScaler on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for application portability across environments
NetScaler BLX is a software form factor for bare metal that brings enterprise-grade application delivery controller (ADC) capabilities to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) platform. NetScaler BLX runs directly on bare metal or a virtual machine and is ideally suited for highly performant applications that need to be portable across on-premises and public cloud environments.

Achieve high-performance application delivery
h3
NetScaler BLX is powered by the open source Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) technology to deliver high performance on RHEL: On a 10 G NIC, the line-rate performance of a NetScaler BLX can handle data at the maximum speed of 10 Gbps without any slowdown or packet loss
