Saturday, 22 April 2006 by Michel Roth

Citrix today announced that it captured the No. 1 position for unit market share of SSL VPN gateways in the fourth quarter of 2005, according to Infonetics Research Inc.�s recently published �Network Security Appliances and Software� report. In addition to leading all SSL VPN vendors in units shipped, Citrix also moved up into the No. 2 position in overall revenue market share in Q4 2005. The new ranking comes just one year after Citrix entered the SSL VPN market in January 2005 with its new Citrix Access Gateway product line.

�The surprisingly rapid success of Citrix in just one year�s time demonstrates clearly that the SSL VPN market is still vibrant and growing,� said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst for VPNs and Security at Infonetics Research. �As ever greater numbers of businesses look to provide secure and flexible access to their increasingly mobile employees, Citrix is well positioned to leverage its considerable channel and installed base to continue growing its presence and driving the expansion of the SSL VPN market as a whole.�
