Company expands open source integrations, allowing customers to develop, test and deliver applications on native cloud platforms with speed, flexibility and consistency
The digital transformation is driven by the fast and efficient delivery of new applications that improve the way we think and operate. Aware of this, Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) is expanding its open source integrations, allowing companies to take advantage of modern and innovative cloud environments from a variety of leading providers, which accelerates migration to the cloud and the results they can achieve.
The company announces that Citrix® ADC has obtained Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification, which will provide IT departments with a faster, more flexible and consistent way to develop, test and deliver applications in Kubernetes environments at scale. Citrix ADCs are compatible with all Red Hat platforms (including Red Hat OpenShift) and the complete line is sponsored by Red Hat and its partners.
“We live in an application-driven world, and IT organizations need to create modern environments in which they can deploy them flexibly and quickly while maintaining the scalability, security and reliability of their systems,” said Mihir Maniar, Vice- President of Product Management Networks at Citrix. "With our Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification, we are expanding the options that our customers have to carry out this process."
A Modern Approach
Citrix® ADC is a software-based solution for application delivery and download management, and is designed to provide a high-quality corporate digital experience for web, traditional and cloud-based applications, regardless of where they are hosted. The solution can be deployed locally and on all types of cloud platforms, including: Amazon Web Services (EKS), Google Cloud Platform (GKE) and Microsoft Azure (AKS). The Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification is based on Citrix's Red Hat Container Certificate and reiterates the company's commitment to supporting Red Hat's innovative technologies.
Among the benefits generated by the implementation of Citrix's cloud-based solutions in Kubernetes environments are:
• Flexibility: The IT department can choose, within a comprehensive range of Citrix ADC formats, how to deliver applications - including high-performance container platforms (CPX), virtual machine-based solutions (VPX), Linux Bare-Metal processes (BLX ) or existing MPX and / or SDX applications.
• Consistency: With the same code base for all Citrix ADC options, IT can achieve operational consistency across all types of application workload.
• Migration made easy: Monolithic applications can be migrated quickly and easily to microservice based applications with support for various protocols, including TCP, TCP-SSL, UDP and HTTP / S.
• Greater visibility and understanding: From a single Citrix ADM (Application Delivery Management) management plan, IT can gain end-to-end visibility and the insights needed to deliver applications based on microservices at scale, receive immediate feedback and solve problems related to the users' experience.
“Red Hat OpenShift is the most comprehensive business platform for Kubernetes in the industry,” said Julio Tapia, executive director of the Red Hat Partner Ecosystem. “Kubernetes operators are attractive because they help to code the human operational logic normally needed to manage services as a native Kubernetes application, which facilitates day-to-day operations. The Citrix ADC Operator allows enterprise developers and their IT departments to deliver applications with the speed, security and reliability that modern cloud environments demand. ”
In addition to Red Hat OpenShift, Citrix ADC can be integrated with a wide range of open source and CNCF ecosystem tools, including Prometheus, Grafana, Spinnaker, FluentD, Kibana, Open Tracing and Zipkin.
