Last October, we reintroduced Citrix ADC as NetScaler \u2014 the original name of the pioneering application delivery and security solution.<\/p>\n

The reintroduction of NetScaler<\/a> has given us the opportunity to simplify our licensing and pricing: NetScaler now provides subscription-only options that include both hardware and software ADCs.<\/p>\n

While NetScaler will no longer offer perpetual licensing, what is not changing is the flexibility to deploy your ADCs on demand between on-premises and cloud to best serve the needs of your business.<\/p>\n

As the first application delivery controller to offer the capability to migrate ADCs across environments, NetScaler remains committed to enhancing its existing hybrid cloud and multi-cloud functionality. Modern applications built with microservices and deployed in hyperscale cloud provide enterprises with greater business agility to get their products to market faster. And these enterprises rely on NetScaler for high-performance application delivery, deep observability, and comprehensive application and API security features.<\/p>\n

Simpler pricing, more flexibility<\/h2>\n

You may want to deploy ADCs as software on your own servers, or you may prefer ADC functionality delivered by purpose-built, hardened appliances that are optimized to meet the demands of containerized environments for modern application delivery. NetScaler will continue to offer both options.<\/p>\n

With the expansion of existing NetScaler subscription options to include discrete hardware devices, you now have the option to purchase hardware ADCs while also enjoying the benefits of NetScaler subscription licensing. And for the ultimate flexibility, you can choose a single comprehensive subscription that includes both software and hardware ADCs.<\/p>\n

Continuous innovation, more value<\/h2>\n

Unlike other ADC solutions, NetScaler hardware and software ADCs run on a single operating system. So regardless of the ADC form factor or environment you choose now or in the future, NetScaler features and functionality are always the same. This simplicity makes it easy to manage your ADCs across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.<\/p>\n

By focusing on continuous innovation and preserving your choice to allocate throughput capacity flexibly across software and hardware ADCs, we aim to increase the value you gain from NetScaler.<\/p>\n
