WANScaler optimizes communication between two network points through caching, compression and TCP optimization. It can improve choppy network response and does wonders for file transfers, especially and repetitive transfers Netscaler does almost too much to summarize. But basically it is a fantastic load balancing/web optimization device that has great performance and redundancy. It can do magic as a general purpose load balancer and especially in front of a web farm of servers through caching and off loading tasks from the web servers. It is also an enterprise class SSL VPN, it has an application firewall and now can act as the AAC server in a Citrix farm. It goes deeper and further, but that is the overview..
