IDC honours Array Networks for Application Delivery Networking

Array Networks has announced that it has been ranked by IDC as having the second-largest market share in India for application delivery networking solutions. In its October 2013 Networking Equipment Tracker report, IDC attributes Array's new market position to an impressive combination of moving into the number-two slot for application delivery controller sales and a 572-per cent increase in WAN optimization controller sales since 2H2012. The IDC study tracks combined revenue for application delivery controllers, WAN optimization controllers and application-centric services.

Shibu Paul, Country Manager – IN, ME & ASEAN, Array Networks, said, "IDC is a respected authority tracking the markets Array serves, and the local IDC team in India has a superior understanding of vendors, partners and customers in the application delivery networking space.
The Array team has been working tirelessly to serve our customers, assist our partners and enhance our offerings, and I am extremely pleased to see our efforts paying off as reflected in the new IDC market report."

According to IDC, drivers of Array's leading position in the Indian market include the ability to close deals in the lucrative government and banking and financial services industry (BFSI) markets, as well as the ability to offer holistic ADC and WAN solutions with custom costing to potential customers. Although Cisco still leads – due to volume WAN optimization sales –, Array is mounting a challenge by way of continued growth in the WAN optimization space.
