So according to theinquirer.net Citrix has only just started shipping the WANscaler to the UK? Is this a reflection on the UK’s plentiful bandwidth, such that it doesn’t really need the WANscaler? or is it a reflection of how long it takes Citrix UK to develop a go-to-market strategy? Mmmm….? 

Citrix wants WAN stake

WANscaler: awful name, useful product

CITRIX SYSTEMS has started shipping its WANscaler Client appliance in the UK for the first time.

Acquired when Citrix bought Orbital Data last year, WANscaler is aimed at optimising performance for branch offices through compression and accelerating protocol performance.

Despite the unfortunate name, it should sell like hot cakes to firms that already run Presentation Server or Terminal Services, as a way serve applications across wide area networks.

Security is also built in “at both ends of the wire”, said Citrix’s Dave Austin.
