Citrix Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for 2010 Application Delivery Controllers Magic Quadrant
November 22 2010 - 1:40PM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. today announced that Citrix® has been
evaluated and positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant
in the 2010 Magic Quadrant for Application Delivery Controllers*
report authored by Mark Fabbi, Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst,
and Joe Skorupa, Research VP. The report evaluates Citrix(R)
NetScaler®, a key component of the company’s virtualization,
networking and cloud computing strategy. Gartner defines a vendor
in the Leaders Quadrant as one who has “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 advanced
platform ADC capabilities that focus on enterprise application
capabilities. We expect a leader to have strong or growing market
share, especially in the advanced platform ADCs, and to have
solutions that resonate with an increasing number of enterprises.
Expertise in complex data center application deployment also is a
necessity to be a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Application
Delivery Controllers.”
NetScaler delivery infrastructure transforms today’s traditional
enterprise datacenter built upon rigid, isolated network devices
into tomorrow’s cloud-based virtual datacenter that is flexible and
scalable enough to deliver IT as an on-demand service. As a
foundational component of Citrix® OpenCloud™ solutions, NetScaler
provides enterprise customers and cloud providers alike with
powerful virtualization and networking capabilities. In addition,
NetScaler accelerates and secures web applications for thousands of
corporate customers, and is the delivery infrastructure of choice
for most of the world’s largest cloud providers and websites,
touching an estimated 75 percent of all Internet users each
day.
