Simplified NetScaler Offerings on Public Cloud Marketplaces

We are making some changes to our NetScaler offerings on public cloud marketplaces, designed to simplify the customer purchase experience and deliver more value. We've carefully reviewed and consolidated our public cloud offerings for two key reasons,

• Deliver more value with meaningful offers 
• Streamline the NetScaler experience on Azure Marketplace

Deliver more value with meaningful offers 

We've reduced our commercial public offerings from 15 variants to 3 core options

• NetScaler VPX Advanced 200 Mbps
• NetScaler VPX Premium 1 Gbps
• NetScaler VPX Premium 5 Gbps

To further enhance value, we've reduced prices on our Premium offerings by 10-18%.

Migration Guidance for Existing Users

If you're currently using a delisted offering, the following table will guide you to choose the best listing 

Streamline the NetScaler experience on Azure Marketplace

Azure Marketplace uses a system of "plans" within an offer.
Previously, a separate offer existed for each NetScaler release version, with all commercial variants repeated under each as shown below.

This approach led to the need to create new offers for every release and delete old offers when they reached end-of-life (EOL).
 

New Unified Offer for Azure:

To streamline this process, we've created a single offer with a revamped list of plans encompassing all releases.
This allows you to leverage the same offer for all future NetScaler builds on Azure.

Important Note for Azure Users:

• Users on 13.1 offers may see a deprecation notice from Azure.
• This does not indicate the 13.1 release itself is being deprecated, but rather the specific offer/plan on Azure.
• To continue using 13.1 builds, simply switch to the new unified offer (NetScaler VPX VM).

In conclusion, these changes simplify the selection process, enhance value, and streamline your NetScaler experience on Public cloud marketplaces.
