Preface

NetScaler is becoming more essential in many environments and is often crucial because of many of the services it offers. This book, which is about implementing NetScaler VPX, covers all the basics on how to get started with NetScaler VPX in a virtual environment and how to deliver highly available services and remote access to a Citrix environment.

It starts off with an easy introduction on what the product is, what it can offer, and how to perform an initial setup both on an on-premises deployment and using public cloud offerings.

Later, it moves on to some of the more advanced features, such as remote access against Citrix, different VPN features, and optimizing network services.

It also covers high availability features, such as active/passive HA, clustering, and how to load balance many of the commonly used platforms such as Exchange, SQL, Lync, and other Citrix components. It shows you how to secure services using application firewall and AAA.
