Cloud Provider RapidScale Offers Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN

The managed cloud provider RapidScale is offering Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN as a standalone managed service. In addition, RapidScale is making the Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN service available for resale through its network of independent agents.RapidScale CEO Randy Jeter said his company owns its own platform, which operates out of six facilities. “We partner with Cisco, Citrix, NetApp, and Fortinet for our core infrastructure,” said Jeter. “We own our own backbone. We’re a global IT service provider with our own cloud.” But he wouldn’t compare RapidScale’s cloud exactly to public cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). He said RapidScale’s cloud is built like a public cloud platform, but it’s distributed through customers. Jeter mentioned that Cox Communications is a customer.
