Q: What was 2008 like for F5?
2008 has also been a year with many milestones for F5: Early this year we released an on-demand Application Delivery Controller (ADC) that can be upgraded as demand grows. According to Gartner, we dominated our space worldwide with more than 60 percent market share in the advanced ADC category.
We are also extremely proud to have supported major Web content providers during the Beijing 2008 Games. To give you an idea of the amount of Web traffic that passed through the portals--the number of unique visitors to CCTV.com reached 25.13 million during the live telecast on August 8. This number is eight times more than the Web site's average daily traffic and the most in CCTV.com's 12-year history!
What about this year?
Going into 2009, even when IT budgets are constrained, data center creation, server consolidation will continue. So we see more customers needing to realign their business priorities to be more cost effective.
F5's focus for this year will be to collaborate increasingly with our customers to tackle their challenges at the core--right where their network, storage, servers, and security come together and help them move their business ahead on a solid, forward-looking foundation rather than a series of costly and reactive one-offs.
