Summary


This chapter described the basic features of the NetScaler ADC, the different load balancing functionalities, the NetScaler AAA feature, the NetScaler Gateway, and how to configure the Citrix NetScaler Gateway with Citrix StoreFront.

It's not possible to explain all the possible deployments from the NetScaler Gateway from the load balancing features in just one chapter. There are a lot of other deployments available. For example, it's possible to use the NetScaler Gateway as an RDP gateway.

Note

For more information about the possible deployments, see the Citrix documentation. The URL is http://docs.citrix.com/en-us/netscaler-gateway/11/deploy-xenmobile.html.

In the next chapter, we will explain the use of the Citrix NetScaler AppExpert features.
