Citrix to simplify app delivery and security

Citrix Systems, Inc. has launched Citrix App Delivery and Security Service, a new, intent-based cloud solution that automates the process in real-time. The app removes the complexity from every step of app delivery, including provisioning, securing, on-boarding, and management.

“It has the perfect mix of customizability and built-in intelligence that will allow enterprises to deploy their revenue generating apps quickly and securely without sacrificing the functionality that their customers depend on,” said Geoffrey Knaak, Technical Manager, Senior Systems Administrator, Aria Systems, Inc.

It is designed to help IT transform app delivery from a slow, manual process based largely on guesswork into an efficient, automated one driven by intent. It will be needed to keep up with the business and deliver meaningful outcomes.

The app works in the following way,

Intent-based

Automatically translates business and technical intent into application delivery and security policies and configurations. Administrators can, for instance, define a maximum acceptable application latency threshold for a region, and servers and systems will adjust to keep app delivery within the parameters.

Self-Healing and Continuously Optimizing

Auto-detects and corrects application delivery issues like performance degradation, new demands and outages. When a slow server is uncovered, it can be automatically removed from the load balancing pool.

Internet-State Aware

Collects and analyzes 10 billion data points a day from more than one billion users across 50,000 networks in 200 countries to provide real-time visibility into state of the Internet through Citrix Intelligent Traffic Management™.  Armed with this data, IT can optimize the application experience for individual users and prescribe the best locations for additional hosting sites if traffic increases to maintain service levels.

Integrated App and API Security

Integrated web application firewall, Bot management and API protection fuels holistic protection of most valuable and vulnerable assets.
