Citrix Announces Citrix NetScaler 12000

Tuesday, 02 May 2006 by Michel Roth

Citrix today announced its new Citrix NetScaler 12000 system designed for large-scale Web applications handling millions of simultaneous users conducting hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. The new high-end offering of Citrix�s market-leading NetScaler application delivery product line raises the bar for Web application delivery with the ability to process application transactions up to 400 percent faster than the best high-end products available from other providers.

Unlike traditional networking vendors that focus solely on network-layer performance and packet processing, the Citrix NetScaler 12000 is uniquely designed to deliver application-specific performance gains for today�s most complex and demanding Web applications. The NetScaler 12000 far outdistances itself from competing offerings in accelerating application transactions with more than 275,000 Web (HTTP) requests per second and 28,000 secure (SSL-based) transactions per second. These performance gains continue Citrix�s long-standing leadership in delivering the industry�s most advanced application delivery solutions.
