"Modular physical appliance revenue bounced back this quarter after a seven percent decline in 2Q12," said Casey Quillin, Senior Analyst of Data Center Appliance Market Research at Dell'Oro Group. "This quarter we saw strength in these higher-end products which we attribute to a strong early ramp of F5's new VIPRION 8-slot chassis. Virtual appliances, climbed to nine percent of total ADC market revenue-share this quarter, more than double the revenue-share in the same quarter last year," Quillin added.

The report also indicates that within the ADC market, sales of virtual appliances are estimated to triple in calendar 2012. Vendors who currently offer virtual Application Delivery Controllers include A10, Cisco, Citrix, F5, Coyote Point, and Riverbed.
