CommentsCitrix Systems, Inc. (www.citrix.com), a provider in access infrastructure solutions, today announced it has completed the acquisition of privately held NetScaler Inc., a global leader in high-performance application networking.
This acquisition strengthens Citrix’s customer value proposition by improving the performance of any application delivered through the Citrix Access Platform, the industry’s most complete and integrated system that seamlessly connects users, devices, and networks to enterprise resources.
“With this acquisition, we are extending our best access experience value to the entire range of Web-based applications, including enterprise, browser-based, XML Web services, and others,” said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer for Citrix.
“With the addition of the Citrix NetScaler Application Accelerator and Application Switch, the Citrix Access Platform can significantly optimize the customer’s entire set of client/server, Web, desktop, or legacy enterprise resources.”
NetScaler, with approximately 200 employees, including research and development teams in Silicon Valley and India, will continue to operate from San Jose, Calif., as the Application Networking Group of Citrix. B.V. Jagadeesh, previously president and chief executive officer for NetScaler, will now report to Mark Templeton as group vice president and general manager.
In early 2003, Citrix outlined a strategy to expand its coverage of the overall Access Infrastructure category by penetrating into adjacent high-growth markets such as collaboration and VPN.
Citrix Systems, Inc. is the global leader in access infrastructure and the most trusted name in secure access. More than 160,000 organizations around the world use the Citrix Access Platform to provide secure, well-managed access to business information wherever it lives – on demand.
