Aryaka announced the launch of its SD-WAN ULTRA service.
Aryaka has built the first fully integrated SD-WAN solution that combines a global private network, WAN Optimization and cloud/SaaS acceleration to deliver enhanced application performance, reduce capital expenditures and simplify network operations at branch offices.
With these components, Aryaka’s SD-WAN ULTRA addresses the Achilles’ heel of SD-WAN solutions – inconsistent latencies and jitter, associated with their dependence on the public Internet for transport of mission-critical voice, video, data and application traffic that is vital to business execution. The public Internet is a shared medium of communication, and due to congestion and packet loss, lacks the performance required for transferring business-critical voice, video and data, and accessing cloud services or SaaS applications globally.
Aryaka’s SD-WAN ULTRA combines its proprietary Smart Edge and Smart Link technologies with a global private network to provide dramatic performance improvements for voice, video and real-time traffic. With added WAN Optimization functionality, data and application traffic also sees massive throughput and performance improvements. Further, due to the seamless integration and acceleration of cloud services and SaaS applications, Aryaka has launched a SD-WAN solution that addresses application performance issues without enterprises having to invest in legacy MPLS circuits.
“With the rapid proliferation of cloud services and SaaS applications, existing SD-WAN solutions fall short of meeting application performance expectations due to their reliance on the Internet,” said Ashwath Nagaraj, Founder and CTO of Aryaka Networks. “Building our SD-WAN technology on top of a global private network and adding WAN Optimization allows us to not only address these performance bottlenecks but also reduce network complexity at branch offices while keeping capital investments low.”
“Businesses around the world are responding to the “digital enterprise” imperative by exploiting the cloud as an agile platform for applications. As with yesterday’s LAN connected applications, performance is a key consideration and as more employees use additional applications, application performance directly becomes a business performance issue,” said Peter Christy, Research Director at 451 Research. “Whereas most SD WAN solutions are built on raw Internet connectivity or existing MPLS WAN’s, Aryaka’s SD-WAN ULTRA is built on Aryaka’s purpose engineered Global Private Network that optimizes performance based on dynamic network conditions and incorporates WAN optimization technology and by doing so has proven to be an excellent platform for delivering consistent performance for applications that are used by global populations.”
