"We are pleased today to launch coverage on the WAN Optimization market, and extend our thorough, rigorous, and consistent market research process into another key, fast growing segment of the telecommunications and networking industries," said Tam Dell'Oro, President of Dell'Oro Group.

The report indicates that in 3Q11, less than ten percent of WAN Optimization revenue is coming from virtual appliances. Despite a relative small number of vendors, this segment is expected to grow robustly in 2011 and 2012 with revenues exceeding $1 billion each year.

"Video and virtual desktops to the branch continues to drive most of the growth in the market as customers attempt to transmit an ever-increasing amount of data across branch to data center links. Riverbed and Cisco are the strongest vendors in this portion of the market," explained Alan Weckel, Senior Director of Ethernet Switch Market Research at Dell'Oro Group. "A smaller and faster growing portion of the market is the optimization of network links between data centers, both from a data center replication and deduplication point of view, as well as from an enterprise to cloud point of view," Weckel added.
