Evaluation based on completeness of vision
and ability to execute
Citrix, a leading provider of the Citrix NetScaler application
delivery controller (ADC) solution, today announced that it has
been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the
2016 Magic Quadrant for Application Deliver Controllers. [1]
NetScaler is the market-leading ADC that powers application
delivery infrastructure for some of the world’s largest
enterprises, cloud hosting providers and Telcos. (ADC) report
authored by Gartner analysts Mark Fabbi and Andrew Lerner for the
tenth consecutive year.
According to Gartner, Inc.: “a Leader exhibits the ability to
shape the market by introducing additional capabilities in its
product offerings and by raising awareness of the importance of
these features. Key capabilities for a Leader revolve around the
ADC capabilities that focus on enterprise application capabilities.
We expect a Leader to have strong or growing market share and to
have solutions that resonate with an increasing number of
enterprises. We expect Leaders to release ADC capabilities
(deployment models, features, pricing models and so on) that
support Mode 1 and Mode 2 requirements well in advance of
mainstream enterprise demand. A Leader must exhibit expertise in
complex enterprise application environments and offer a range of
deployment models..”
As noted in the report, “the key criterion in this Magic
Quadrant focuses on the vendor's ability to provide products and
services that solve complex application deployment challenges.
Success in this market goes beyond features. It involves a deep
understanding of how the elements of applications perform across
the network and how emerging network and application deployment
options, such as network fabrics, cloud services, microservices and
containers will change ADC requirements in the enterprise..”

Citrix
“We are honored to be recognized by Gartner and placed in the
Leaders Quadrant of the MQ for the tenth consecutive year. Our
disciplined execution by delivering innovations for both Mode 1 and
Mode 2 application environments in traditional datacenters and
cloud-hosted, deployed application workloads has been a major focus
for Citrix this past year. The delivery of NetScaler CPX, an ADC in
a Docker container, NetScaler Management and Analytics System for
seamless management of hybrid cloud ADC infrastructure and
continued innovations for security with Web Application Firewall
(WAF) Security Insight highlight our commitment to innovation to
meet customer and market needs. We have also seen great market
traction over the last 12 months with increased ADC market share
which is another testament to our sales and go to market execution.
We believe all of this led to Gartner’s recognition and positioning
us furthest for completeness of vision in the 2016 MQ report, as
well as guidance to its clients to consider Citrix for all ADC
opportunities globally.”
