Citrix Named A Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Delivery Controllers for Tenth Consecutive Year
Citrix, a leading provider of the Citrix NetScaler application delivery
controller (ADC (News - Alert)) 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 (News - Alert) 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.."
