Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Delivery Controllers (2016, 2015,2014,2013,2012,2010)-优快云博客

应用交付控制器(ADCs)部署于数据中心，优化企业应用程序在网络中的传输。ADCs提供用户到应用及应用间流量的功能，有效连接应用与底层协议及传统包交换网络。它们确保网站的可用性和可扩展性，并提升应用的可用性、可扩展性、用户体验、资源利用率和安全性。

Application delivery controllers (ADCs) are generally deployed in the data center and provide functions that optimize delivery of enterprise applications across the network. ADCs provide functionality for both user-to-application and application-to-application traffic. The ADC effectively bridges the gap between the application and underlying protocols and the traditional packet-based networks. The market evolved from load-balancing systems that were developed in the latter half of the 1990s to ensure the availability and scalability of websites. Enterprises use ADCs today to improve the following aspects of their applications:

Availability
Scalability
End-user performance
Data center resource utilization
Security
