Hello All,
We are using ACE 4710 appliance to load-balance our webserver.
I saw in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/application-networking-services/ace-4700-series-application-control-engine-appliances/eol_C51-728976.html that the hardware is end-of-sale since January 2014.
I don't see on the website of Cisco another new ACE model replacing the 4710 appliance.
Could ou please someone tell me by which hardware/platform/solution the ACE will be replace ?
I heard about Citrix Netscaler Solution...
Could someone tell me more about this ? Is Netscaler the replacing of the Ace ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Frédéric

Hi Frederic,
Customers are using RISE technology for an order of magnitude CAPEX and OPEX savings.
RISE (Remote Integrated Services Engine) is an innovative, industry-first architecture conceived by the Nexus Services engineering team to seamlessly integrate Nexus switches with appliances offering L2/L3/L4-L7 services. RISE makes the service appliance look like a line card in the Nexus 7K series and N5k/6k(upcoming). This integration allows any appliance to take advantage of the benefits of an in-chassis module such as increased application performance, high application availability, and data center consolidation.
Here are some details on RISE integration with Citrix Netscaler,
RISE Features:
Simplified Out-of-Box experience
Supported on Citrix NetScaler MPX, SDX, VPX, and Nexus 1KV with VPX
Automatic Policy Based Routing - Eliminates need for SNAT or Manual PBR
Direct and Indirect Attach mode integration
Show module for RISE
Attach module for RISE
Auto Attach – Zero touch configuration of RISE
Health Monitoring of appliance
Appliance HA and VPC supported
DCNM support via DevNet
Order of magnitude OPEX savings: reduction in configuration, and ease of deployment
Order of magnitude CAPEX savings: Wiring, Power Rackspace and Cost savings
