Citrix announced Citrix® NetScaler® Control Center for VMware.

With the final goal to help his customers gain advanced application availability, security and optimization functionality that complement existing VMware NSX™ capabilities, Citrix has announced yesterday Citrix® NetScaler® Control Center for VMware. This means, Citrix is automating deployment and configuration of NetScaler functionality within networks that will
use the new VMware NSX™ network virtualization platform and other VMware virtualization technologies.

Connectikpeople has also observed that, NetScaler Control Center also aims to enable cloud administrators to programmatically insert best-in-class NetScaler services into software-defined datacenters built on VMware virtualization technologies.

Henceforth NetScaler Control Center for VMware can enable users deploying Citrix NetScaler and VMware technologies to accelerate the transformation to the software-defined data center with its ability to:

• Enable users to spin-up NetScaler services in their VMware-based cloud environments at the same time they are spinning up virtual servers, virtual storage and the larger virtual network
• Allow self-service NetScaler configuration by users directly from the VMware vCloud® GUI
• Free users from dealing with the complexities of network topology and configuration, allowing them to focus solely on the NetScaler functionality that their applications need
• Complement NetScaler Insight Center and NetScaler Command Center, solutions that deliver deep visibility and control to critical business applications and mobile services across public and private cloud environments

A tech preview of NetScaler Control Center will be made available to current NetScaler customers current on PCS (SA/maintenance) in Q3.
