the global leader in Application Delivery Networking (ADN), today
announced that it has been positioned by Gartner,
Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Application
Delivery Controllers (ADCs), [LINK] published October 30, 2012.
“Enterprises and service providers rely on F5 to help solve extremely
challenging issues, including application and data security, managing
access to critical web-based applications—on premises or in the
cloud—and coping with the explosion of data traffic from increased
mobile usage,” said Dan Matte, EVP of Marketing and Business Development
at F5 Networks. “F5 has always taken a holistic approach to tackling
application delivery challenges versus addressing problems in isolation.
We continue to deliver on the promise of our TMOS®
architecture as an intelligent services platform, providing a crucial
building block for delivering dynamic services that are always secure,
fast, and available.”
As defined by Gartner, “ADCs provide functions that optimize enterprise
application environments. Enterprises use ADCs to optimize reliability,
end-user performance, data center resources use and security for a
variety of enterprise applications.”1
