Supportability matrix for NetScaler cluster
Clustering in NetScaler appliance supports a wide-spread of features in NetScaler appliance configurations.
The following table lists the NetScaler appliance configurations and also provides the status of the features across releases.
Important
The “Node-level” entry in the table indicates that the feature is supported only on individual cluster nodes.
