IDC Names Three Cloud-Native Application Delivery Controllers as IDC Innovators


International Data Corporation (IDC) has just released an IDC (News - Alert) Innovators report recognizing three innovative vendors with revenue under $100 million providing cloud-native application delivery controllers (cloud-native ADCs).

The three vendors recognized as IDC Innovators are Avi Networks, NGINX, and Webscale Networks.

Avi Networks helps enterprises scale up or scale down dynamically in response to sudden changes in traffic patterns with a platform that leverages analytics to make informed decisions on traffic based on built-in telemetry and visibility. NGINX technology currently supports some of the world's busiest websites and has an increasingly influential constituency of companies who utilize its cloud-native ADCs. Webscale Networks caters to mid-market companies with a SaaS (News - Alert) approach for customers who want application delivery to be as simple as possible.

"Existing application delivery infrastructure was designed for the client/server era, not for the demands of DevOps and microservices in a multi-cloud world. Avi Networks, NGINX, and Webscale Networks are all responding to the burgeoning requirement for cloud-native application-delivery solutions," said Brad Casemore, research director, atacenter Networks.



IDC Innovators: Cloud-Native Application Delivery Controllers, 2017 (IDC #US42127817) profiles cloud-native application delivery controllers with an innovative technology or a groundbreaking new business model or both. The IDC Innovators research document examines cloud-native application delivery controller companies with revenue of less than $100 million with a product, service, or business model with a specific use case.
