- Understanding ADC technology and its important role in the business environment has increased significantly among enterprises in the region over the past few years. The capability to provide customers with functionalities of application service availability and acceleration is a key feature that enterprises have looked at to enhance their critical business services on the Web platform to ensure the customer experience.
- As application security becomes more critical, many enterprises, especially SPs and banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), look at ADC as an important solution to address these challenges. In this light, ADC vendors are focusing on delivering combined capabilities of high performance application services and strong policy enforcement with more advanced security features, on top of the ADC platform.
- Web-based application services, bring your own device (BYOD), and cloud services were key drivers for the APAC ADC market as many SPs looked at ADC to strengthen their service standards as a key competitive edge in the business environment. In addition, many SPs were expanding their managed ADC services to enterprises that preferred to host their applications, content, and services on their own Web sites.

- A possible slowdown in sales of hardware appliances may cause vendors to face more challenges in securing their partner ecosystems, affecting their future business growth.
