Cisco is already trailing Riverbed in WAN acceleration and is about to get stiffer competition from a third vendor. Or a third and fourth vendor combined to be more exact. Now that Blue Coat Systems is buying Packeteer, Blue Coat will not only gain technology improvements, but also a fat book of 10,000 Packeteer customers it can tap into. That can't help but make the WAN optimization market a harsher competitive environment for Cisco.
