NGINX Named a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner for Web-Scale Platforms
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/04/15 -- NGINX, the engine powering applications and content for the modern web, has been named a 2015 "Cool Vendor" in Web Scale platforms for their application delivery capabilities by Gartner, a top IT analyst and research firm.
Using either open source NGINX or enterprise grade NGINX Plus, IT departments can ship faster and successfully deliver web-scale applications, whether running on their own hardware, virtual machines, or public or private clouds. Recently, these new open source tools have begun to be adopted as an open, lower cost, and more flexible alternative to established commercial, closed-systems application delivery control vendors.
"We are excited to be recognized as a 'Cool Vendor' by Gartner in the application delivery market," said Gus Robertson, CEO at NGINX. "Today's businesses are facing significant challenges and opportunities as the whole world becomes digital. The adoption of Cloud architecture, and the move to DevOps, microservices, and containerization is making application delivery even more critical yet increasingly complex. We are laser focused on providing a turn-key application delivery platform that offers the freedom, simplicity, and value modern enterprises need to be successful."
According to the Gartner report, by 2017, more than 20% of large organizations will deploy self-contained microservices to increase agility and scalability. For developers and DevOps teams interested in deploying microservices while respecting best practices in application delivery -- load balancing, session persistence, caching, streaming media serving, monitoring, and automated management capabilities -- NGINX offers a turn-key commercial version of their open source software, NGINX Plus.
Each year, Gartner identifies new Cool Vendors in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports evaluating these innovative vendors and their products and services. The annual reports highlight emerging vendors that provide innovative technologies warranting attention from prospective customers. For more information, visit
