Gartner has published their 2012
Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers, authored by Joe
Skorupa and Severine Real. Ipanema Technologies has been positioned
as a "Visionary" in the 2012 Magic Quadrant report.
According to the report, "WAN optimization is about improving the
performance of business applications over WAN connections. This
means matching the allocation of WAN resources to business needs
and deploying the optimization techniques that deliver measurable
business benefits. The majority of WOCs are purchased by North
American companies (with Europe coming second) because these
companies have the greatest number of branch offices. These WOCs
are deployed to support an increasingly global WAN footprint.
Most networks carry a variety of traffic types of differing
characteristics and importance. Many organizations are striving to
manage this traffic to optimize the response times of critical
applications and reduce costs, given that bandwidth continues to
represent a significant proportion of operating expenditure for
wide-area data networks. But the cost of bandwidth isn't the only
consideration - as resources are increasingly centralized,
minimizing the effect of latency on application response times is
becoming a critical requirement. In addition, virtualization and
new application environments, such as cloud computing and Web
services, can put an unexpected strain on the network…"
Gartner analysts evaluate technology providers on completeness of
vision and ability to execute.
