Business Wire
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 21, 2014.
“Making it easier for customers to quickly and securely deploy
applications and services across their networks—in the data center
or in the cloud—is our top priority,” said Manny Rivelo, EVP of
Strategic Solutions at F5. “We feel being recognized for eight
consecutive years as a Leader in the ADC Magic Quadrant is a
powerful reflection of F5’s technology, our Synthesis™ vision, and
the real business challenges customers are addressing.”
Gartner describes an Application Delivery Controller as
“generally deployed in the data center [to] provide functions that
optimize delivery of enterprise applications across the network.
ADCs provide functionality for both user-to-application and
application-to-application traffic. The ADC effectively bridges the
gap between the application and underlying protocols and the
traditional packet-based networks.”1
