anyone play with a beta of the nCore code?
« on: June 10, 2009, 01:27:17 PM »
I'm curious to see how the 9500 stacks up to like a 10010 (yes I've seen the marketing numbers).

I see that it is no longer "beta".

As of today, the 9.1 nCore and classic editions are available for download from MyCitrix.

Yeah.. Unfortunately for me I have an MPX 9500 which is not supported yet.  The download section states this:

NetScaler nCore software (9.1.nc) is currently intended for use on the NetScaler MPX 15000 and MPX 17000 appliances.  All other NetScaler appliances should use Release 9.1.cl.


I'm more curious how linearly performance is going to scale across the cores.

A large number of featurs is not supported under nCore even on supported hardware.     Looks like the majority of customers that need features like GSLB, IP Tunneling, NetScaler Push (yep that new feature is classic not nCore) or Application Firewall as well as several others (read the release notes for better details) will need to stick with the 9.1 classic code.

Yes.  Here is the official not supported list in 9.1n.   I don't use any of these but I'm sure many of you do.

GSBL
IPV6
Rate Limiting
Connection Mirroring
Web 2.0 Push
AAA
AppFW
