GigaSpaces Integrates With Citrix OpenCloud Platform to Ease Creation of Elastic Data Center Environments
GigaSpaces XAP, Citrix NetScaler and Citrix XenServer Fulfill Immediate and Long-term Application Development, Deployment and Scalability Needs
NEW YORK and BETHESDA, Maryland, October 20, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- GigaSpaces, a leading provider of a new generation of application
platforms for Java and .Net environments, has partnered with Citrix to
provide an open and elastic cloud-enabled platform. Integrating GigaSpaces
eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) with Citrix OpenCloud virtualization and
networking infrastructure provides enterprise IT a fully integrated,
optimized and elastic application platform. The joint solution provides an
"evolutionary" path to "revolutionary" IT solutions without incurring the
costs of re-writing and re-architecting existing systems. Integration between
GigaSpaces XAP for web, application, and data virtualization, Citrix(R)
NetScaler(R) for network virtualization and Citrix(R) XenServer(R) for
compute virtualization creates an elastic and open application framework.
This ensures that organizations can upgrade their data centers and create
hybrid cloud-data center combinations with minimal application changes while
enjoying high performance and proven dynamic scalability.
"Citrix NetScaler and XenServer form the foundation for some of the
largest, most dynamic datacenters in the world," said Sunil Potti,
vice-president of product management and marketing, Citrix Networking and
Cloud Group. "GigaSpaces XAP integration lets Spring, J2EE and .NET
applications hosted in these datacenters elastically scale up and down as
capacity needs change."
"Our joint customers will benefit from the combined years of experience
that Citrix and GigaSpaces offer in providing the best hardware and software
platforms for flexible application deployment," said GigaSpaces CEO Zeev
Bikowsky. "With the combination of Citrix and GigaSpaces technologies,
companies can bring IT operations to the future without severing their ties
to the past."
With the combined Citrix and GigaSpaces technology in place,
organizations will be able to extend the data center and the applications
that run in these environments beyond currently known limits (and, when
needed, physical boundaries). It allows enterprises to leverage historical
investments in hardware and applications while easing long-term application
development and deployment.
This provides a truly open, non-vendor locking solution, providing the
broadest support for existing standards and technologies. It enables dynamic
scalability without diminishing returns and allows applications to operate
among public and private clouds and the data center with minimal code change.
The joint solution provides a complete virtualization solution for the
network, operating system, data and applications.
The integration is immediately available and has been verified as Citrix
Ready(R). The Citrix Ready program helps customers identify third-party
solutions that are recommended to enhance virtualization, networking, and
cloud computing solutions from Citrix. Enterprises already using NetScaler,
XenServer or XAP will be able to integrate the additional components quickly
and easily. New customers will find that they will be able to more quickly
develop, deploy and operate existing and new applications and hardware when
they add the new solution to their existing infrastructure.
