Course Overview
The primary objective of the Citrix NetScaler Essentials and Traffic Management course is to provide the foundational concepts and skills necessary to implement, configure, secure, monitor, optimize, and troubleshoot a Citrix NetScaler system for application delivery. This course is designed specifically for students who have limited or no previous NetScaler experience, and is based on version 11 of the Citrix NetScaler product. Students will have access to hands-on exercises within a virtual lab environment.
This course has been completely redeveloped and replaces the previous course (!CX-CNS-205), including the following enhancements:
- A new lab environment, redesigned and built for enhanced performance
- New content introduced in the majority of modules
- Incorporated course feedback that has been gathered over the last year
- Reorganization of the content into a logical sequence of three days of base content that focuses on essential NetScaler functionality, followed by two days of additional Traffic Management features, with exercises that progressively build on each other to provide a more effective and versatile learning experience.
Note: it is not recommended to take both the five-day Citrix NetScaler Essentials and Traffic Management training and the five-day Citrix NetScaler for Apps and Desktops training, as these courses share the same first three days of content.
