Nice blog! Some minor comments from my side, aslo in addition to Andrew: In regards to NetScaler Gateway there is only one currently sold functional model, NetScaler Gateway. Form factors are VPX (indeed the NetScaler where features get limited based on license file) with max 500 ICA users, a Physical appliance with NetScaler Gateway only enabled (5500 model) and NetScaler Gateway is ALWAYS included in all NetScaler versions (std, ent, plat.).

CAG 4.x / 5.x / 2010 are end of sale! Still supported, not no longer sold so no longer available!

AAC is still available for CAG 4.x but not required for 5 and NetScaler Gateway.

In regards to NetScaler ADC, there are 2 more “versions”, the Express (free, 5 Mbit, 15 NG users 13 month lic, NS standard features) and the developer edition (for NetScaler customers with support, 13 month lic, 1 Mbit, NS platinum features).

In regards to the Branch Repeater, you will see that all those products will be moved to the new name, Cloud Bridge, te coming time. NetScaler BR name will disappear.

I know, product names and Citrix.. 😉 but is is a little more clear now. We have 2 products (NetScaler and Cloud Bridge). You pick the NetScaler function (NG only, std. ent. or plat), and for both NetScaler and Cloud Bridge, the performance you need (SSL numbers + bandwidth) and off you go!

I agree with you but when you go to the download page you’ll see this list of downloads. The CAG’s are listed there so that’s why I mentioned them as Citrix is doing the same thing.

Enterprise Edition (NetScaler)
Standard Edition (CAG)
Advanced Edition (CAG)”

The bottom two aren’t actually NetScalers though are they. They are CAG 5’s and not based upon the NetScaler platform at all. So these two which as Shaun rightly says are approaching EOL; are Citrix actually referring to them as NetScalers?

That was my first response too but there are still customers relying on the Access Controller so I found it worth mentioning,

Personally I would consider it legacy and not worth mentioning.
