Last fall at AWS re:Invent 2019, Citrix announced that the Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) was validated to run on AWS Outposts. This was a great step forward for organizations that are looking to reduce the management overhead between their on-premises and cloud infrastructures, creating a more cohesive experience. Now, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the AWS Outpost Service Ready program. And of course, Citrix ADC is here for the launch of the program.

The AWS Service Ready designation recognizes that Citrix has demonstrated successful integration with AWS Outposts deployments. AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience.

Achieving the AWS Outposts Ready designation differentiates Citrix as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a product fully tested on AWS Outposts. AWS Outposts Ready products are generally available and supported for AWS customers, with clear deployment documentation for AWS Outposts. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale and varying levels of complexity.

“Customers are looking for better ways to store and manage their data across the enterprise as part of a comprehensive digitization initiative,” said Joshua Burgin, General Manager, AWS Outposts, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “With Citrix ADC on AWS Outposts, customers can benefit from a comprehensive application delivery solution for any application in their environment, on AWS Outposts, or in AWS Regions, for a truly consistent hybrid experience.”

Using Citrix ADC with AWS and AWS Outposts, you can take advantage of the key capabilities in app delivery:

  • Central management and monitoring of your app delivery environment no matter where it is deployed, giving you the visibility and control needed to optimize the performance your users demand.
  • Flexible licensing, pooled capacity, enabling the movement of app delivery to those services which require more capacity. This agility allows organizations the ability to maximize their resources and costs.
  • Integrated security to protect your apps without bolting on additional services that add additional complexity to the environment.

To support the seamless integration and deployment of AWS Outposts Ready solutions, AWS established the AWS Outposts Ready Program to help customers identify products integrated with AWS Outposts and spend less time evaluating new tools and more time scaling their use of products that are integrated with AWS Outposts deployments.
