What is Citrix Universal HMC?
Introduced in March 2024, the Citrix Universal HMC subscription has replaced all traditional CVAD (XenApp & Desktops) and DaaS offerings with a single SKU that allows organisations to run Citrix in a traditional customer-managed environment, in Citrix Cloud as a service or in a hybrid state across the two with the same licence.
Unlimited NetScaler instances
Offering more than desktop and application virtualisation, Citrix Universal HMC includes eligibility to run an unlimited number of NetScaler ADC instances, anywhere in the hybrid cloud architecture, without additional licence cost or complexity.
What does NetScaler do?
NetScaler is a software based load balancing and application delivery control solution packed with industry leading capabilities to improve the availability, performance, security, scalability and efficiency of digital service delivery infrastructure.
Increasing NetScaler value
From user experience and operational efficiency, to security posture and observability, every NetScaler deployed enhances the RoI. Want more value? Deploy more NetScalers in more places and get more for your budget.

Remove technical overlap and reduce cost.
Decrease complexity & inconsistency
Having n+1 ADC vendor solutions deployed at various locations in the HMC footprint significantly increases operational complexity, leads to inconstant posture and UX plus the risk for downtime caused by configuration error.
Improve service levels, reduce cost
NetScaler’s common codebase can be deployed anywhere in the HMC architecture, reducing load balancing and ADC technical overlap with 3rd party vendors including public cloud proprietary services from Azure, AWS & GCP.

Simplify operational procedures
One codebase can be managed from one place, with one set of admin skills, and one set of APIs, significantly reducing operational complexity and the risk of configuration error.
Improve agility
Replacing multiple vendor solutions across the hybrid multi-cloud footprint with NetScaler significantly reduces cloud friction, improving service agility and reducing cost.
Gain consistent security posture
All NetScaler appliances in Universal HMC are Premium Edition, allowing a full stack of security features to be deployed anywhere in that risk exists at the edge or on internal systems.
Fastrack to observability
