This was one of the most interesting projects in my long career with Citrix and, more specifically, with NetScaler
In more than 11 years I have seen NetScaler grow from a niche product to one that serves a much wider range of applications. As part of my role as Senior Director of Product Management, I am responsible with a wide strip of partners to find creative solutions and help our joint customers.
Citrix recently the NetScaler Content Pack IBM Cloud Orchestrator, , in which we define tackled on an interesting journey towards, Load Balancing and ADC requirements for all applications cloud. IBM and SoftLayer are marquee customers NetScaler and we work together as a business and technology partners. The NetScaler content package for IBM Cloud Orchestrator was developed and delivered to work with IBM engineers in Bangalore to help our joint customers with all their needs ADC while they build their public, private or hybrid cloud infrastructure. See Mike Ballengee blog published to learn more about the announcement.
Here's more about how you can use the Content Pack, and also focus on some of its cool features.
- manage
- Start with Load Balance device
- Register NetScaler device
- Make basic management information such as IP, user, pass, etc.
- Register NetScaler device
- Unregister NetScaler device
- Select to deregister. the device you
you want to set up the device, the next step is to load balancer instance after registering or configure.
As you can see here, the load balancer instance configuration via the new Admin partition infrastructure is passable NetScaler. This means that you define Soft ADC instances on NetScaler virtual or physical devices.
This infrastructure gives you the flexibility to carve a single NetScaler appliance in 512 independent instances that can be used for certain purposes, while the instances define, you need to provide bandwidth connection limit and storage requirements. This practically defines how many soft instances that you can have on a device. All these instances are discarded at the network level, data plane and management plane. This is extremely useful to share infrastructure for enterprise app deployment or service provider applications where you need the ADC appliance or infrastructure across multiple apps or tenants.
While you define the Soft-ADC instances, enter the VLAN associate for the traffic flow, which helps to separate the traffic between instances. This infrastructure also allows you to IP-duplication across instances have required together for the cloud-based scenarios.
You can always go back and change the instance parameter setup in the beginning, including changes to VLAN association had. The content pack allows the establishment of central measures load balancing and also allows you to configure the SSL certificate / key and other parameters. SSL is a given use cases for cloud security of significant value is must have.
Another interesting feature of the content package is the ability to define Content Based LB pools . Content-based pools function at Layer 7, where the definition and selection pool on L7 properties based incoming traffic. For example, you can tell if URL contains "XYZ" then select that pool and similarly you can use any other parameters of the payload to define pool selection guidelines. These guidelines are based on NetScaler advance policy infrastructure language and are extremely efficient and user friendly. You can also priority to the policy in connection that provides additional flexibility in decision making.
These are some of the great features that distinguish NetScaler integration with IBM Cloud Orchestrator. We truly believe this integration unique value for our customers and partners with our technology provides various forms of cloud infrastructure to help build.
