November 2, 2009 11:00 AM EST

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro, a global leader in Internet content security and a member of the Citrix Ready(TM) Open Networking Program, announced that its Web and Messaging security virtual appliance solutions support Citrix® NetScaler® VPX(TM), the industry's only leading application delivery and load balancing solution that is available as a virtual appliance.

Trend Micro(TM) InterScan(TM) Web Security and Trend Micro(TM) Messaging Security gateway solutions are designed to provide an effective, highly scalable and optimized solution against emerging Web and email-borne threats. Both are available as software virtual appliances for corporations that want to reduce costs, increase IT flexibility, simplify deployment and upgrades and promote business continuity. They combine a hardened operating system and application stack that can run optimally on industry standard "bare-metal" hardware, or in a virtual machine.

NetScaler VPX scales both solutions by providing load balancing and cache redirection services as well as integrated caching and consolidated logging services. This is especially important within a threat landscape where Internet-based threats are constantly evolving and compromised Web site and URLs are often obscure and short-lived. The integrated cache on the NetScaler VPX allows for caching of the responses to provide faster response times. In addition, the consolidated logging feature can be used to generate access logs for all Web requests.

"With the Citrix Ready Open Networking Program, Citrix and its partners are delivering powerful virtual networking solutions," said Sunil Potti, vice president of product management and marketing, NetScaler product group, Citrix Systems. "We are very excited that Trend Micro, a recognized security leader, has joined and that together we can deliver a fully tested, fully virtualized solution combining our market-leading NetScaler web application delivery solution with Trend Micro's web and messaging security solution."

"Citrix Netscaler VPX, in conjunction with Trend Micro Interscan Web Security and Interscan Messaging Security gateway solutions, provides a flexible, scalable architecture that can grow with traffic and application needs," said John Maddison, vice president, Trend Micro. "By supporting virtual environments, dynamic and public cloud datacenters, the combination of both solutions will considerably reduce operational costs. In addition, the Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network(TM) cloud-client infrastructure provides customers of these solutions optimal online security."
