Aryaka News

Shifting to Aryaka improved performance, simplified management, and made the headphone company more agile.

Office 365 is popular — Microsoft recently announced that revenue grew nearly 70 percent year-over-year. But there’s no doubt moving from an on-site to a cloud-based productivity suite increases WAN bandwidth demand significantly. And nothing will dampen user adoption more than latency.

Aryaka last week at NFV & SDN Expo launched its SD-WAN ULTRA service. This solution brings together cloud acceleration, a global private network, and WAN optimization. Businesses that use it can benefit from improved application performance, lower capital costs, and simplified network operations related to their branch offices.

Microsoft offers a way for organizations to connect directly to Azure data centers through one of three connection methods.

As productivity applications move to the cloud, new problems emerge. Gone are the days when we controlled our own LANs and server farms.

Aryaka and Talari Networks this week introduced new offerings in their software-defined WAN portfolios, the latest examples in a market that is continuing to see an influx of products, money, competitors and customer interest.

Aryaka is doing software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) a little differently from others in this arena that provide overlays. Aryaka has invested in a global private network, which it put together by buying Layer 2 capacity from Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers.

Aryaka is beefing up its line of software-defined networking products with the introduction of a cloud-based software-defined WAN offering that puts it head-to-head against vendors like VeloCloud.

Aryaka Networks, the pioneer in WAN as-a-service, has made it their goal to be the #1 SD-WAN provider in the world in the next 12 months. That’s a bold and aggressive move because the SD-WAN startup market is full of many hot, well funded, next-generation cloud-based SD-WAN vendors.

The growth of software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is seen throughout the market, and companies are preparing for the next generation of connectivity accordingly. Viptela is a rapidly growing name in this field, and it will be bringing its vision of an SD-WAN future to this year’s ITEXPO event.

Most IT leaders are looking for the next angle or the do-more-with-less approach to spending money. Telecom services are one of the larger operational expenses on a company’s balance sheet. Customers have been looking for ways to creatively add bandwidth and cut costs. The market has responded, albeit slowly.

Headphones really didn’t make any news in the past, but once Apple purchased Beats Electronics for $3 billion, it changed the global industry. For Skullcandy, creator of headphones, earphones and related accessories, the increased popularity in the segment means more opportunities. The company announced it has selected Aryaka, a global cloud networking provider, to connect its operations in the United States, Canada, Germany, China and Japan without the limitations of the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) system it was using.
