No one will buy Citrix whole. It could be broken up and sold. NetScaler has the best chance for getting a good price but Citrix marketing is quickly destroying its brand value. The VDI has value for the customer base but the product is obsolescent and there is newer technology from competitors.

What investor wants to buy a product line called Citrix ADC? How would you market that if you are not Citrix? You'd have to name it back to NetScaler before everyone thinks that NetScaler is dead. Citrix corporate marketing made these name changes to make it look like they were doing something. They said it would build the Citrix name brand, but all they are doing is causing confusion, and ruining the value of a respected name.
That's so true about Citrix marketing destroying the value of the NetScaler brand. Citrixadc.com doesn't even point to a website hosted by Citrix. I guess the marketing department won't pay up to buy the domain from the current owner.
My guess is by Q1 2019 Citrix will sell off its out of date technology.
