Additionally, Command Center provides extensive real-time and historical views of the availability, performance, and security for enterprise-wide delivery of application data to users in any location. The solution will be unveiled at NetWorld Interop, Las Vegas, booth 825.

"The mainstream IT industry's rapid adoption of advanced application acceleration devices like those offered by NetScaler is driving the need for central management of a large number of devices," said Lynn Nye, president, APM Advisors. "Solutions such as NetScaler Command Center are not just 'nice to haves' but are increasingly differentiating offerings due to the challenge of managing complex application environments."

NetScaler Command Center will enable customers to significantly streamline the day-to-day operations through the following:

    module.
    

"Not only are we seeing rapid growth in the number of NetScaler customers, as evidenced by our recent 500th customer milestone, but also in the size of NetScaler deployments. Our longstanding customers consider NetScaler systems a core component of their network infrastructures whenever they add new applications," said Raj Kanaya, vice president of product strategy and alliances, NetScaler.
