F5
Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV)
today announced that it has again been positioned by Gartner,
Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Application
Delivery Controllers (ADCs), published October 6, 2015.
“Software continues to be the growth engine for F5 ADCs, with many
customers choosing virtual, cloud, and as-a-service offerings, as well
as traditional hardware and hybrid deployments,” said Manny Rivelo,
President and CEO, F5. “We believe that longstanding recognition as a
Leader in the ADC Magic Quadrant points to the success customers are
having with innovative offerings like F5
Silverline® services and the strength of our overall Synthesis™
vision.”
In describing the market, Gartner states that “(a)pplication delivery
controllers (ADCs) provide functions that optimize delivery of
enterprise applications across the network. ADCs provide functionality
for both user-to-application and application-to-application traffic, and
effectively bridge the gap between the application and underlying
protocols and traditional packet-based networks.”1
