Citrix has announced that in its pursuit to strengthen its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), it is now offering a choice of deploying Citrix ADC in hybrid environments and thereby help deliver a secure, reliable experience for the users. The announcement came at the AWS re:Invent 2019 event.
Keeping in mind the necessity of certain apps to stay on-premises, the newly validated AWS Outposts solution, Citrix ADC can be used to bring native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to on-premises facilities in a simple, cost-effective way and deliver a consistent hybrid experience. With the new Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) ingress routing features, companies can redirect traffic flowing in and out of a VPC through Citrix ADC to ensure highly available and reliable performance. Amazon VPC Ingress Routing is a service that helps customers simplify the integration of network and security appliances within their network topology.
To ease migrating apps to the cloud, the AWS Quick Start for Citrix ADC empowers companies to speed and automate the configuration and greatly reduce the time, costs and skill level involved.
Citrix also announced that the Citrix SD-WAN now supports AWS Transit Gateway to simplify how Amazon VPCs and on-premises networks are connected to reduce operational costs. Using the Citrix SD-WAN orchestration service, customers can quickly connect their branches and data centers to the AWS Transit Gateway and access resources across any Amazon VPC or other connected networks.
These new capabilities make it easy for businesses to deliver an optimal application experience for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops as well as other cloud and SaaS applications on AWS. Thereby help quickly set-up secure, highly-available connections to AWS resources and provide scalable networks across hybrid cloud environments and geographically distributed regions.
