Abstract

This IDC study analyzes the key trends affecting the ADC market. It provides a worldwide revenue forecast for the ADC market, segmented by the following geographic regions: North America, EMEA, Asia/Pacific (including Japan), and Latin America. In addition, it provides a forecast by end market (enterprise versus service provider [SP]) and form factor (hardware ADC, software ADC, and ADCaaS).

"The worldwide ADC market, inclusive of hardware and software ADCs and cloud-based load balancing (ADCaaS), was first disrupted by enterprise adoption of cloud, and it is now experiencing an equally profound transformation as enterprises embrace hybrid IT and multicloud. The enterprise push toward realizing the full benefits of multicloud through the deployment of modernized digital infrastructure, including advanced application delivery infrastructure, represents a significant growth opportunity for ADC vendors capable of simplifying and optimizing the delivery of cloud and cloud-native applications across an increasingly complex and highly distributed landscape. " — Brad Casemore, VP research, Datacenter and Multicloud Networks, IDC
