Migrating apps to the cloud
Citrix SD-WAN contains an integrated database and deep packet inspection to identify applications, including individual SaaS applications, and intelligently steer traffic from the branch to the Internet, cloud, or SaaS. SD-WAN provides the ability to route traffic from the branch to the Internet via a secure web gateway, which provides cloud-based security including firewall, URL filtering, and usage accounting. SD-WAN builds secure and reliable connections to the cloud to provide a WAN-like experience similar to the data center. For a hybrid multi-cloud scenario, Citrix hosts SD-WAN appliances in Equinix and uses their cloud exchange to provide automatic traffic routing and failover to a multi-cloud environment.

WAN virtualization for WAN efficiency
Citrix SD-WAN creates a reliable WAN from diverse network links, including MPLS, broadband, and wireless, continuously measuring and monitoring each link for loss, latency, jitter and congestion. Link outages and errors are mitigated by Citrix SD-WAN's ability to move traffic off poor performing links without impact to the applications, resulting in predictable and consistent performance. Mission-critical applications are always routed across the paths with the fastest transit time, real-time application traffic can be duplicated to guarantee no loss and traffic from high-bandwidth applications can be balanced across multiple links to provide high performance for large file transfers.
-
Application QoS for assured delivery
Citrix SD-WAN identifies applications through deep packet inspection technology that results in the great accuracy granularity. Application and application elements can be grouped into different categories with different priorities and bandwidths. With the granular application awareness combined with network intelligence, the platform can ensure that critical applications receive priority and are routed across the high-quality link. Lower quality links are used for lower priority applications that can tolerate higher latency. The Citrix SD-WAN endpoints also communicate with each other on congestion conditions, allowing sending devices to adjust transmission rates to match network capacity.
-
Dynamic Routing for branch simplification
Citrix SD-WAN provides an alternative to the legacy branch router, enabling a simpler branch network with lower infrastructure and support costs. Multiple overlay routed networks can be software defined, with separate policies and security rules applied to each. With Dynamic Routing, Citrix SD-WAN can participate in your routing topology in overlay mode for easy network insertion or operate in edge mode for a streamlined branch network with assured application delivery.
-
Integrated firewall for complete security
Citrix SD-WAN brings strong data protection to the network, from link layer security to a stateful firewall function. The firewall integrates with the application QoS to allow security policies to be centrally defined by application or application element, allowing you to limit or reject traffic by applications or application elements. Citrix SD-WAN also allows users to be segmented into different zones, allowing different policies to be applied per zone. Finally, Citrix SD-WAN provides strong encryption as data crosses public and private networks while easily integrating with cloud web gateways. Citrix SD-WAN can redirect Internet traffic to a secure web gateway for next-generation firewall by creation of IPsec tunnels from the branch to Palo Alto's Global Protect cloud service. This reduces the need to deploy firewalls at the branches.

Application and WAN optimization usability and bandwidth efficiency
Through features such as TCP flow control, data compression, de-duplication and protocol optimization, Citrix SD-WAN can improve the end-user experience as well as provide a reduction in WAN bandwidth expenses. And with video usage on the rise, Citrix SD-WAN can optimize video delivery within Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environments as well as for popular websites and internal video content repositories.
