Citrix NetScaler VPX^© provides the complete NetScaler all-in-one feature set in a simple, easy-to-install virtual appliance. IT organizations of any size can deploy NetScaler VPX on demand, anywhere in the datacenter, using industry standard servers. The simplicity and flexibility of NetScaler VPX make it easy and cost effective to fully optimize every web application and more effectively integrate networking services with application delivery.

Ensure high availability for XenApp – Integrated local and global server load balancing and secure remote access ensure improved availability of Citrix XenApp services. Smaller XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop deployments benefit from the same security and reliability that NetScaler appliances provide while avoiding capacity over-provisioning.

Enhance test and development –NetScaler VPX can be easily incorporated into development and lab environments, making the quality assurance process more like the real world for organizations that run NetScaler MPX in production.

Serve multiple tenants cost-effectively – Deploy NetScaler MPX appliances at the datacenter edge and dedicated NetScaler VPX instances deeper within the datacenter. This architecture addresses high-capacity, network-wide actions while enabling you to handle multiple tenants, each with their own application-specific actions.
