Citrix Positioned for the Ninth Consecutive Year as a Leader in the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Application Delivery Controllers
October 08 2015 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix today announced that it has been evaluated by Gartner,
Inc. for its NetScaler® solution, the market-leading application
delivery controller used as core infrastructure for some of the
largest cloud providers in the world, and positioned in the leaders
quadrant in the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Application Delivery
Controllers[1] (ADC) report authored by Gartner analysts Andrew
Lerner, Mark Fabbi, Danilo Ciscato and Joe Skorupa, for the ninth
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 in this market
revolve around enterprise application functionality. 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, etc.) well in advance of the mainstream enterprise
demand. A leader must exhibit expertise in complex enterprise
application environments and offers 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, SDN and cloud services, will
change ADC deployment models.”
