Citrix SD-WAN includes an industry-leading Application Control Engine with deep packet inspection enabling detection, classification, and acceleration of over 4,500 SaaS, cloud, and virtual applications and sub applications.

Enjoy the freedom of deployment on your choice of public cloud or in conjunction with SaaS applications. With Citrix SD-WAN, you can deliver the best application experience through real-time, packet-based path selection and bi-directional QoS.

And ensure an always-on workspace with the highest network resiliency through sub-second failover.

Citrix SD-WAN provides an alternative to the legacy edge router, enabling a simpler branch network with lower infrastructure and support costs.

Multiple overlay routed networks can be software defined, with separate policies and security rules applied to each. With dynamic routing, Citrix SD-WAN provides easy network insertion through either inline or edge routed modes for a streamlined branch network with assured application delivery.

Citrix SD-WAN creates a reliable WAN from diverse network links, including MPLS, broadband, and 4G/LTE, continuously measuring and monitoring each link in real time for loss, latency, jitter and congestion.

Link outages and errors are mitigated by Citrix SD-WAN’s intelligent load balancing to match applications to optimal WAN links, resulting in reliable performance. Selective packet replication for real-time and other latency-sensitive applications ensures consistent experience.

Citrix SD-WAN brings strong data protection to the network with a built-in, application-aware stateful firewall that is integrated with application QoS to allow centrally-defined security policies to limit or reject application traffic. Users and traffic can be segmented into different zones, allowing different policies to be applied per zone.

Citrix SD-WAN also provides strong encryption using HTTPS/TLS and AES 256 to provide security across the control and data planes. And optional, next-generation firewall capabilities can be added as a virtualized network function (VNF) on select SD-WAN appliances. Creation of IPsec tunnels can be automated from the branch to Zscaler Secure Internet Gateway or Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access to simplify operations.

Citrix SD-WAN Cloud Direct service enables resilient, high performance access from SD-WAN sites to over 1,000 of SaaS and UCaaS platforms and 150 major network and cloud exchanges. This turnkey service deploys in minutes and provides centralized management with real-time visibility.

Citrix SD-WAN Cloud Direct service intelligently load balances and QoS optimizes up to four Internet links into redundant carrier-grade points-of-presence (PoPs), with “hit-less” failover which mitigates internet circuit outages—even those difficult-to-detect brown-out conditions—without disrupting any applications.

Citrix SD-WAN improves application experience while reducing bandwidth expenses with features such as TCP optimization, compression, data de-duplication, and protocol optimization.

Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator, a SaaS-based provisioning and management solution, enables customers and partners to centrally manage and monitor users, permissions, applications, and WAN links for control and visibility across the entire network, and to optimize the quality of experience for applications

Quickly and easily deploy new sites on the network with zero touch deployment. Simplify the time and effort to set up new locations with automated setup of cloud services, security, and applications.
