Key Findings on WAN Data Compression and Acceleration Technologies:

WAN Data Compression and Acceleration Hardware has overtaken 10 Gbps Ethernet to assume the #1 spot on the Wave 4 Data Networking Infrastructure Technology Heat Index®, moving up from the #3 spot in Wave 3. The Heat Index gauges the immediacy of user needs and planned spending for each technology.
Twenty-eight percent (28%) of enterprises have WAN Data Compression and Acceleration technologies in pilot or near-term plan.
Nearly 40% of those interviewed indicated that it was very likely that they would employ WAN optimization solutions for their network in the next 12 months, up from 30% last wave.
Key Findings on WAN Data Compression and Acceleration Providers:

The shortlist of providers continues to be led by Cisco and Riverbed, with in use and in plan citations. With the in plan leader and in use leader alternating between the F1000 and MSE organizations
Other providers mentioned by F1000 and MSE organizations during the study include: Expand Networks, Juniper, F5 Networks, IBM, HP, Packeteer, NetApp, Crescendo Networks, Aspera, Blue Coat, Silver Peak, Stampede, and Citrix.
