Ipanema Technologies Positioned as a Visionary in Leading Analyst Firm’s Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ipanema Technologies, a leading provider of WAN Governance and WAN Optimization solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the Gartner 2010 “Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers.” (Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers, Severine Real, Andy Rolfe, Joe Skorupa, December 23, 2010).
“In 2010, Ipanema achieved tremendous success with our customers and partners. This is a direct result of our commitment to innovation and customer focus,” said Jean-Yves Leclerc, Chairman and CEO of Ipanema Technologies. “We believe our placement in the Visionary quadrant is an important milestone recognizing the vision of the next generation of network infrastructure and services that are tightly coupled to enterprises’ IT and business needs, and Ipanema’s unique way to address them through WAN Governance and autonomic networking. Today’s ever-changing technology landscape, from the rapidly increasing adoption of cloud computing to the growing complexity within IT operations is driving the need for more intelligent solutions to dynamically align global networks with IT transformations and business priorities. WAN Governance, a strategic and business-driven approach to network management within IT Governance, will become even more critical for executives to achieve their business goals.”
Ipanema’s position in the Magic Quadrant concludes a trailblazing year where Ipanema brought unique components of its innovative WAN Governance offering to the market. Hybrid Network Unification, launched early in 2010, is the cornerstone of enterprises such as Valeo that are progressively mixing public cloud based applications with their private IT infrastructure. Success with KDDI in Japan, reinforcement of US operations and a worldwide partnership with NCR all reflect Ipanema’s position as a global market leader.
According to the report, “WAN optimization is about improving the performance of business applications over WAN connections. 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 — matching the allocation of WAN resources to business needs is also important. And 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.”
