Increased Global Demand for Online Content and Services Drive Pulse Secure Application Delivery Business to Record GrowthSAN JOSE, Calif. , Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pulse Secure, the leading provider of enterprise Secure Access solutions, today announced that its virtual Application Delivery Controller (virtual ADC) business unit has achieved record growth and increased market share in the last year. The announcement marks the one-year anniversary since Pulse’s acquisition of the virtual ADC Business Unit from Brocade Communications. Factors driving the company’s success are the increased worldwide demand for online content and web services, and rapidly evolving infrastructure requirements including cloud and hybrid IT growth, DevOps, containerization/Docker and workload migration. Brad Casemore, research vice president for Datacenter Networks at IDC, said, “As enterprises pursue digital transformation as a strategic imperative, they are increasingly embracing hybrid IT and multi-cloud to achieve greater agility and flexibility. However, as applications become more distributed – residing not only in on-premises datacenters but also in multiple clouds – enterprises are compelled to adopt equally agile application-delivery infrastructures that provide both cost-effective support for distributed applications and flexible licensing. By creating a pool of Traffic Manager ADC licenses that customers can flexibly allocate and reuse as needed, Pulse Secure Services Director allows customers to rapidly deploy application-delivery services when and where they’re required, ensuring that organizations can attain the business agility, operational flexibility and elastic scalability that cloud promises.” 2018 highlights testifying to Pulse Secure’s virtual ADC market success include:
“Our growth highlights that we are gaining market share due to our ontinued innovation and the exceptional performance of our products. We continue to demonstrate that our virtual ADC product line helps enterprises design and easily deploy solutions for today’s rapidly changing hybrid-IT environment,” said Marion Smith, vice president and general manager of Pulse Secure’s virtual ADC business unit. Significantly contributing to the unit’s growth in the last year, and the years ahead, is the opportunity to sell integrated solutions to existing Pulse Secure clients including 80 percent of the Fortune 500 and some 22,000 other companies. These organizations, including the world’s largest enterprises, are attracted by a unified solution that combines secure access from any device to any system, proven capabilities to deliver applications with high performance and system-wide tools to manage their infrastructure efficiently for both security and performance. The outlook is bright given these trends, the investments made by Pulse Secure in people, products and the platform and the proven accomplishments of the virtual ADC team. In the last year, the company:

Takahiro Sawada, general manager of the IP Network Technologies Department, Carrier Products Business Division for SCSK Corporation, said, “We have been fortunate to be partners with Pulse virtual ADC for over 10 years and are very excited about the positive momentum since the acquisition of virtual ADC. Many of our customers are happy with the solutions and capabilities that this technology provides.
