NetScaler for the XenDesktop\XenApp Dummy

I have been working with XenApp since the WinFrame and MetaFrame days.  Back then we had to create ALTADDR and NAT entries on the firewall to allow connections from the Internet.  Later, we moved into CSG (Citrix Secure Gateway) that allowed only 443 and a single IP address to be exposed to the Internet to access the internal Presentation Server farm.Now, the preferred method is Access ...

Load Balancing – SSL Session Persistence

PersistenceSSL_101019.jpg

Configuring Persistence Based on SSL Session IDsThe Citrix NetScaler initially selects a server by using a load balancing method. With persistence configured, enabling the NetScaler to send any subsequent client requests to the selected server, the server can access state information for that client. If persistence is configured, it overrides the load balancing methods once the server has been selected. If the configured persistence ...

Load Balancing – Persistence

thumb-LB_Persistence_100831.jpg

Load balancing with persistence allows you to distribute client requests across multiple servers and optimize resource utilization. Load balancers improve server fault tolerance and end-user response time. In a scenario with a limited number of servers providing service to a large number of clients, a server can become overloaded and degrade server performance. Load balancing is used to prevent bottlenecks by forwarding the client ...

Load Balancing – Hash Method

thumb-LB_Hash_100831.jpg

Load balancing uses a number of algorithms, called load balancing methods, to determine how to distribute the load among the servers. When a Load balancer is configured to use the hash method, it computes a hash value then sends the request to the server. Hash load balancing is similar to persistence based load balancing, ensuring that connections within existing user sessions are consistently routed ...

Configuring, Verifying and Monitoring Persistence on NetScaler

What is persistence in Server Load Balancing?Before understanding what persistence is, let us get an overview of Server Load balancing (SLB). The SLB feature selects a server (service to be precise) from a set of configured servers to serve a client request based on a load balancing algorithm configured by an administrator.In Figure 1, user B's first request can be served by one of the ...
