According to Gartner, Network performance monitoring and diagnostics (NPMD) enable network professionals to understand the impact of network behavior on application and infrastructure performance, and conversely, via network instrumentation. Other users and use cases exist, especially because these tools provide insight into the quality of the end-user experience. The fast-growing network performance monitoring and diagnostics market is helping businesses support more complex environments and services through network visibility, performance issue detection and root cause analysis. Leaders in

According to Gartner, “The network intrusion prevention system market has undergone dynamic evolution, increasingly being absorbed by next-generation firewall placements. Nextgeneration IPSs are available for the best protection, but the IPS market is being pressured by the uptake of advanced threat defense solutions. This Magic Quadrant focuses on the market for stand-alone IDPS (IDP / IPS) appliances; however, IDPS capabilities are also delivered as functionality in other network security products. Network IDPSs are provided within a next-generation firewall (NGFW), which is the evolution of

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure has been released for a couple of years. This post listed all reports found from Internet since 2010. If you are not familiar with this research publication or Gartner, please see graphic below. Gartner places vendors in one of four quadrants – Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players and Challengers based on their score system. 2018 Gartner has named Cisco, Aruba (HPE), and Extreme Networks as the leader in the Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure on July 2018. 2017 Still Cisco and HP dominate the market. 2016 No changes on Leaders

Gartner defines SIEM as a technology that aggregates data produced by security devices, network infrastructure and systems, and applications. Products in the security information and event management (SIEM) market analyze security event data and network flow data in real time for internal and external threat management. They collect, store, analyze and report on log data for incident response, forensics and regulatory compliance. Vendors in this space are continually improving threat intelligence and security analytics. Companies are looking to adopt this technology in order to detect threats

Gartner defines the unified threat management (UTM) market as multifunction network security products used by small or midsize businesses (SMBs) (< 1000 employees). 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management Report For leaders quadrant, no changes since 2015. Fortinet, Check Point and Sophos are in there. 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management (SMB Multifunction Firewalls) Not much changes from 2016. 2016 – Fortinet in Leader Quadrant 7 Years in a Row since 2009 Fortinet, Check Point and Sophos are in Leader Quadrant this year.

Based on Gartner’s definition, the enterprise network firewall ” is composed primarily of purpose-built appliances for securing enterprise corporate networks. Products must be able to support single-enterprise firewall deployments and large and/or complex deployments, including branch offices, multitiered demilitarized zones (DMZs) and, increasingly, the option to include virtual versions for the data center. Customers should also have the option to deploy versions within Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure public cloud environments. These products are accompanied by highly scalable

WAN optimization provides a range of features to: (1) improve the performance of applications running across the WAN; and (2) reduce the cost of the WAN. The range and scope of features supported by WAN optimization solutions continue to evolve, typically in support of three high-level needs: Improve the response times as experienced by users of business-critical applications over WAN links or mobile connections, often addressing application performance problems caused by bandwidth constraints, latency or protocol limitations. Assist in maximizing the ROI for WAN bandwidth, and delay costly

In the context of this Magic Quadrant, cloud compute IaaS (hereafter referred to simply as “cloud IaaS” or “IaaS”) is defined as a standardized, highly automated offering, where compute resources, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are owned by a service provider and offered to the customer on demand. The resources are scalable and elastic in near real time, and metered by use. Self-service interfaces are exposed directly to the customer, including a web-based UI and an API. The resources may be single-tenant or multitenant, and hosted by the service provider or on-premises

What are Public Cloud Infrastructure Managed Service Providers? Public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) delivers compute, storage and network resources in a self-service, highly automated fashion. The leading public cloud IaaS providers also offer platform as a service (PaaS) capabilities and other cloud software infrastructure services as part of an integrated IaaS+PaaS offering This Gartner magic quadrant report analyzed vendors in the market and states that “a public cloud infrastructure managed service provider (MSP), in the context of this Magic Quadrant, is an MSP that offers
