The Microsoft Sharepoint Deployment Guide is intended to be a guideline for deploying Citrix NetScaler with SharePoint Portal Server 2007. This guide will provide steps for improving the Microsoft SharePoint end user experience by utilizing Citrix NetScaler's acceleration and optimization features.
The Microsoft Sharepoint and Citrix Performance Validation outlines the best way to optimize the Microsoft Office 2007 SharePoint Server applications for all access scenarios, allowing organizations to streamline operations and dramatically reduce network costs between data centers, remote sites, and branch offices. The tests detailed in this document show that download times of commonly accessed documents across a WAN can be reduced from over 4 minutes to less than 1 second. In extreme network scenarios where user response times showed to be in excess of 10 minutes, Citrix NetScaler and WANScaler were able to reduce the workflow wait down to 15 seconds, making a previously impossible access scenario feasible again.
Citrix® NetScaler® optimizes the delivery of web applications — increasing security and improving performance and Web server capacity. The Integrated Caching feature of the Citrix NetScaler Application Switch helps optimize the delivery of web content and applications. Caching dynamic content reduces the latency and the computation cost (in the application and database servers) associated with the dynamic page generation process. Caching at the edge (for example, ISP and branch Enterprise deployments) can, in addition, result in significant reduction in page download time and in bandwidth utilization. This Caching Deployment Guide for ASP.NET Web Applications discusses the way an Application Expert would find out the potential caching scenarios that a web application can benefit from, and shows how to create and test the NetScaler caching policies and settings to put these scenarios into effect.
