Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud each offer native networking and security tools, but as many ANZ businesses discover, these tools often fall short when it comes to managing complexity, maintaining visibility and keeping costs under control.
This is where NetScaler comes into its own.
NetScaler helps IT teams simplify cloud adoption, improve performance and security and unify operations across multiple environments, without blowing the budget or locking themselves into a single hyperscaler’s ecosystem.
Many ANZ businesses are running a mix of environments: traditional data centres, Microsoft 365, some workloads in AWS or Azure, and DR or test environments elsewhere. With each hyperscaler offering different tools for traffic management, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and SSL offloading, maintaining consistency becomes a nightmare.
NetScaler provides a single platform for application delivery, load balancing and security across all your environments—on-prem or cloud.
This means:
Native tools work great - until you want to move. ANZ businesses often face challenges when shifting workloads from Azure to AWS (or vice versa) or building DR in a secondary cloud.
NetScaler gives you true cloud portability with a consistent codebase across all clouds.
That translates to:
Cybersecurity remains a top concern in ANZ, especially with tightening regulatory requirements and increasing ransomware attacks.
While public clouds offer their own security tools, many of the advanced features are locked behind premium SKUs or require third-party add-ons.
NetScaler includes enterprise-grade security out of the box:
It’s a cost-effective way to harden your environment, especially useful for ANZ mid-sized organisations without large security teams.
Most native cloud tools give you basic metrics and alerts, but not the end-to-end visibility needed to pinpoint user experience issues or performance bottlenecks, especially in a hybrid environment.
NetScaler offers:
For mid-sized IT teams, this means fewer blind spots, faster issue resolution, and better control without needing a big monitoring stack.
ANZ organisations are increasingly embracing DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code to improve agility. But native cloud networking tools can be inconsistent when automating across platforms.
NetScaler is DevOps-ready, offering:
This helps lean IT teams do more with less, standardise across environments and support faster releases without compromising stability.
One of the biggest frustrations for ANZ businesses is managing unpredictable cloud costs, especially when it comes to consumption-based tools like Azure Front Door, AWS WAF or GCP Load Balancer.
NetScaler simplifies this with fixed-cost licensing, especially when bundled with Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi-Cloud (UHMC):
Transitioning to a secure, efficient cloud app delivery strategy doesn’t have to be complex.
