Region AvailabilityLanguagesAllEnglishNEBS Level 3 certified Citrix NetScaler MPX and SDX appliancesCitrix is now shipping NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) Level 3 certified NetScalerMPX and SDX appliances. This platform design is available for purchase as the MPX and SDXversions of 11500, 13500, 14500, 16500, 18500, and 20500 models. NEBS models areavailable with Pay-As-You-Grow and Burst Pack performance upgrades and all NetScalersoftware options.NEBS is a telco standard to ensure equipment is highly resilient to environmental impacts.Compliance is required in the telco core (where phone calls are routed) for fire safety, hardenedprotection (e.g. lightning strikes or earthquakes) and tracking. North American telcos requireNEBS compliance and this capability is also highly desirable worldwide. NetScaler goes beyond“compliance” and is fully certified via third party testing. The changes needed for NEBScertification are purely mechanical (e.g., chassis, power supply, etc.) and do not affectperformance, port configurations, power consumption or other metrics. NetScaler MPX withNEBS can be converted to NetScaler SDX with NEBS on-premise via field replaceableupgrades.NEBS certified, Citrix NetScaler appliances provide a strong foothold in the fast growing telco,service provider and mobile carrier space. These markets are of major strategic importance andprovide areas of substantial growth for NetScaler.Product NamePublic Announcement DateGeneral Availability DatesRegion AvailabilityLanguagesCitrix NetScaler NEBS certified appliances for MPX/SDX11500 ,13500, 14500, 16500, 18500 and 20500AnnouncedNowAllEnglishNetScaler Command Center MPX applianceCitrix now sells a NetScaler Command Center MPX appliance in all GEOs.

Asingle virtual IP address (VIP) can be supported across up to 32 NetScaler nodes to scaleoverall capacity to massive levels. NetScaler ‘nodes’ can be added or removed seamlessly tomatch NetScaler capacity with real-time traffic demands. This eliminates costly overprovisioning and the use of expensive and complex chassis-based alternatives. Clustering isalso a potential alternative to high availability (HA) pair installations, which would eliminate idleNetScaler appliances.Clustering is a licensed and charged-for upgrade and is orderable now.
