Citrix Branch Repeater VPX

Citrix Branch Repeater VPX is the new name for the WANScaler appliance in virtual environments, Supported for Citrix XenServer, VMware vSphere and soon Microsoft Hyper-V. In this last document we already saw how to set up WANScaler (www.bujarra.com/?p=3320) so its operation does not vary too much, the most complicated thing will be to define a good design in our physical and virtual infrastructure since depending on the needs we will have to assign one or two physical NIC's to the virtual network where we host the virtual machine or configure different VLANs if necessary. In this document we will see how to deploy the VM and how we will optimize the traffic of an external client (with the plugin).

Using Citrix Branch Repeater (WanScaler Virtualized!)

We start, for those of us who knew the Citrix WANScaler product which is a physical appliance, Citrix has now renamed this product to Citrix Branch Repeater. This product is available in its apliance version as until now and also in an apliance under a Microsoft Windows operating system 2003 o Windows 2008. This product and its family are traffic optimizers, This is, if we have several delegations and there is traffic between them, With these products we can save exaggerated times when sending files or any type of traffic, since Branch Repeater will optimize all traffic that passes through, based on package optimization, by packet frames, caches data structure, and when more packages with the same patterns pass through, that data will not be sent, since he has them searched.
