 | The impact is an unprecedented ability to consolidate infrastructure without compromise: no change to Service Level Agreements (SLAs), no loss of performance or scale, and no regression in the organization's overall security posture. Such wholesale consolidation drives meaningful reduction in operating and capital costs, and allows datacenter managers to demonstrate a dramatic ROI for a myriad of virtualization technologies within the datacenter. While server and storage virtualization have become mainstream elements of modern datacenter designs, emerging virtual Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) promise to extend the benefits of virtualization into the core of the networking infrastructure. Citrix Systems is leading the way in virtualizing ADCs with its NetScaler® product line, including its new NetScaler SDX service delivery platform. This paper outlines the compelling benefits of consolidating networking services, and details why competing efforts pursued by F5® with its new virtual Cluster Multi-Processing (vCMP™) technology come up short for critical ADC consolidation projects.
