WSO2 Positioned in the “Visionaries” Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for On-Premises Application Integration Suites

Evaluations considered products available for implementation on user-controlled infrastructures, such as traditional data center, private cloud, or hosted IaaS deployments

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WSO2 today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for On-Premises Application Integration Suites¹, which was published on July 29, 2014. The new Gartner report looks at vendors with on-premises products that address a wide range of integration use cases. A reprint of the report can be downloaded at http://wso2.com/landing/gartner-magic-quadrant-for-on-premises-application-integration-suites.

“Today, digital business is driven by the interrelation of people, business and things,” the Magic Quadrant for On-Premises Application Integration Suites report² observes. The report³ goes on to explain, “The challenge is that there will be 30 billion devices in the IoT by 2020, according to Gartner research (see ‘What the Board of Directors Needs to Know About Digital Business’). These devices will introduce new modes of interaction among users, adding to the infrastructure and integration requirements of enterprises.” The report⁴ also notes, “Enterprises need application integration functionality that supports a variety of integration patterns using a spectrum of approaches, from systematic to adaptive.”

“The world is changing rapidly to a place where people, applications and devices are all connected. This is creating new business models that harness the cloud, mobile, APIs, social media, and the Internet of Things. Behind all this, we need a model of integration that is simple, scalable and comprehensive,” said WSO2 Co-founder and CTO Paul Fremantle. "We are excited to be positioned in the 'Visionaries' quadrant by Gartner. We view this as validation that we are delivering on our vision of a modular, integrated platform that helps propel enterprises into the connected world.”

WSO2 Integrated Platform for On-Premises and the Cloud

WSO2 provides the only integrated middleware that enables enterprises to seamlessly migrate their Web applications and services between on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments as needed.

WSO2 Carbon is the industry’s first fully componentized middleware platform for creating, running and managing composite applications and Web services within an SOA and cloud environment.
