Array Networks holds second largest ADN market share in India

BANGALORE, INDIA: Array Networks Inc. announced that it has been ranked by IDC as having the second largest market share in India for application delivery networking (ADN) 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 percent increase in WAN optimization controller sales since 2H 2012.

IDC analysts notes that the company's WAN optimization solution has "increased its chances of cracking bigger deals and positioning themselves as an end-to-end solution provider in the ADC space."

According to IDC, drivers of Array's leading position in the India 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.

"In addition to growing traction in the enterprise based on its suite of application delivery networking solutions, Array is also opening up new opportunities with its line of software appliances which can be hosted on any virtualized server to break price barriers and make solutions more affordable to SMBs," said Manoj Iyer, market analyst for Enterprise Networking in India at IDC.

"With the ability to support a broad range of customers and a go-to-market strategy focused on educating partners its load balancing, WAN optimization, enterprise mobility, high availability, BYOD and application acceleration solutions, Array is well positioned to further increase their market share in the application delivery networking market."
