Server Load Balancing Market Rebounds to Record Level in the Second Quarter

Cisco Grabs Top Spot from F5

Redwood City, Calif. – August 22, 2007 – A market research report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that the Server Load Balancing market posted a double-digit rebound in the second quarter of this year, reaching a record revenue level. According to the report, Cisco benefited from its ramp in recent product introductions and fiscal year-end strength by regaining the number one position from F5.

“Despite vendor acquisitions in many adjacent technologies such as WAN optimization, sever load balancing still remains the largest portion of the Application Delivery market,” said Seamus Crehan, Vice President of Dell’Oro Group. “However, these acquisitions are very strategic for companies who want to offer a holistic solution,” added Crehan.
