CloudBridge 7.4

CloudBridge release 7.4 is compatible with partner appliances running previous CloudBridge

and Branch Repeater releases 5.5 and later, and Citrix Branch Repeater with Windows

Server releases 2.0 and later. It can be used in a mixed environment that includes units

running these older releases.

What's New in CloudBridge 7.4

This release introduces support for the following features:

•Citrix Insight Center enhancements:

•Tracking connections across your enterprise. For example, a user connection that

goes from a PC, through a branch-office CloudBridge appliance, across a WAN,

through a datacenter CloudBridge appliance, through a NetScaler appliance, and to

the server is tracked along the way, allowing you to identify bottlenecks and other

problems.

•VPN (NetScaler Gateway) support for your mobile and remote users.

•Better visibility into traffic at the branch office and user levels.

•Unique visibility into Citrix applications (XenApp/XenDesktop).

•Built-in packet analyzer, allowing you to perform your own traffic analysis on the

appliance itself.

••Call home‚ crash upload service. The appliance can be configured to upload technical

support bundles automatically to a Citrix server, to simplify support.

•Simplified secure peering setup. The datacenter appliance can push out credentials to

selected remote appliances using a streamlined process.

•User interface improvements:

•Instead of having separate sections of the user interface for the management

service and accelerator, both have been combined. This provides greater

consistency between products with and without the management service

•Duplication between the management service and accelerator is eliminated: user

administration, date and time services, and logging are each controlled in just one

place.

•WCCP and virtual inline modes on CloudBridge 4000/5000 appliances can be

configured from the accelerator GUI, eliminating the need to log onto the NetScaler

instance.

•Non-destructive reset to factory defaults. All models can now be reset to their default

settings, except for IP and licensing configuration, allowing remote configuration reset

without losing connectivity or capabilities.

•WCCP enhancements that allow more responsive adaptation to network events through

programmable timeouts.

•Support for the Citrix NITRO API. CloudBridge appliances can now be controlled through

the Citrix NITRO API and NITRO SDKƒs, based on REST (Representational State Transfer)

commands.
