Gartner WAN Optimization Controller (WOC) Magic Quadrant, 2009
Riverbed has been positioned by Gartner in the leaders quadrant in the "WAN Optimization Controller (WOC) Magic Quadrant, 2009" published in June 2009 and authored by Andy Rolfe, Joe Skorupa and Severine Real. According to Gartner, "Leaders exhibit an ability to shape the market by introducing additional capabilities in their product offerings and by raising awareness of the importance of these features. We expect a Leader to be growing the market as a whole, and to have solutions that resonate with an increasing number of enterprises. Leaders in the WOC market need to have a broad feature set, including QoS, generic compression, protocol acceleration and file system acceleration, with the majority of features proven in substantial real-world implementations. They also need to be able to offer sales and support on a global basis."
