Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADC)

Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) is the management and analytics layer for Citrix ADC application delivery controllers. The product line now carries the NetScaler brand: Citrix's former ADM product page redirects to netscaler.com, the software is documented as NetScaler Application Delivery Management, and the vendor states that the NetScaler ADM service has been rebranded as NetScaler Console service.

What it offers

• Adding, configuring and upgrading NetScaler instances from one place
• Application and infrastructure analytics covering performance, usage and availability
• A central SSL certificate dashboard
• StyleBooks, reusable templates for standard application delivery configurations
• Licence management, including pooled capacity, check-in/check-out and virtual CPU licensing

It is available as on-premises software and as a cloud service, and manages instances on premises and in environments such as Azure, Hyper-V and KVM.
