Introduction
Sep 0 1, 20 16
T he Citrix NetScaler SDX appliance is a multitenant platform on which you can provision and manage multiple virtual
NetScaler machines (instances). T he SDX appliance addresses cloud computing and multitenancy requirements by allowing a
single administrator to configure and manage the appliance and delegate the administration of each hosted instance to
tenants. T he SDX appliance enables the appliance administrator to provide each tenant the following benefits:
One complete instance. Each instance has the following privileges:
Dedicated CPU and memory resources
A separate space for entities
T he independence to run the release and build of their choice
Lifecycle independence
A completely isolated network. T raffic meant for a particular instance is sent only to that instance.
T he Citrix NetScaler SDX appliance provides a Management Service that is pre-provisioned on the appliance. T he
Management Service provides a user interface (HT T P and HT T PS modes) and an API to configure, manage, and monitor the
appliance, the Management Service, and the instances. A Citrix self-signed certificate is prepackaged for HT T PS support.
Citrix recommends that you use the HT T PS mode to access the Management Service user interface.
