Which Citrix ADC platform is a hardware-based, multi-tenant capable appliance designed for high-performance workloads?

• A. SDX
• B. CPX
• C. MPX
• D. VPX

Answer: (A)

SDX is the Citrix ADC hardware platform engineered to run multiple isolated ADC tenants on a single physical box. Each tenant operates as its own virtual ADC instance with separate configuration, licenses, and VIPs, while sharing the same high‑performance hardware resources and networking fabric. This hard partitioning provides strong isolation and predictable performance, which is essential for service providers or large deployments that need multi‑tenancy without sacrificing throughput.

The other options are different approaches: MPX is a hardware appliance designed for a single ADC instance with high throughput but without hardware‑level multi‑tenancy. VPX is a software appliance that runs on a hypervisor, not a hardware‑based multi‑tenant platform. CPX is containerized software, also not hardware‑based. Therefore, the platform that matches hardware‑based, multi‑tenant capability for high‑performance workloads is SDX.
