In its 2009 Magic Quadrant for wide area network (WAN) optimisation controllers, Gartner identified Riverbed Technology, Blue Coat Systems and Expand Networks as the industry's leaders and demoted former leader Juniper Networks to niche status. Gartner's magic quadrants are industry evaluation tools that divide vendors into four categories: leaders, which offer both a completeness of vision and an ability to execute; challengers, which can execute but lack vision; visionaries, like Citrix Systems, which have a strong vision but have problems executing on that vision; and niche players like Silver Peak Systems, F5 Networks and Juniper, which Gartner believes lack both vision and ability to execute.
The new Magic Quadrant for WAN optimisation is Gartner's first since 2007, when Riverbed, Blue Coat and Expand all earned "leader" marks.
