Aryaka Named to Vertical Systems Group’s 2018 U.S. Carrier Managed SD-WAN Leaderboard

We’re excited to share that Aryaka has recently been named to Vertical System Group’s 2018 U.S. Carrier Managed SD-WAN Leaderboard. This list is comprised of companies with the highest market shares of installed carrier managed SD-WAN customer sites in the U.S. as of the end of 2018. Only eight companies were named to the list with Aryaka sharing the spotlight with AT&T, Hughes, Verizon, Windstream, CenturyLink, Fusion, and Comcast, all much larger organizations.

However, the list itself only looks at one aspect of a managed SD-WAN service. Unlike carriers who must source their SD-WAN technology from a 3^rdparty and may in fact have issues with servicing a global organization with many outlying branches, the Arkaya offering does it all, from last-mile, through a dedicated Layer 2 core, and into the cloud.

In addition, Aryaka combines application optimization, sophisticated security, and multi-cloud connectivity, an add-on with many carrier services. Recently, we’ve also begun to offer last-mile services, removing the burden of identifying and contracting with multiple ISPs across the globe, with Aryaka now a single point-of-contact.

In comparison to traditional carrier-managed SD-WAN, Aryaka delivers advantages with an OPEX-only cloud consumption model, guaranteed SLAs, low operational complexity, native multi-cloud connectivity, end-to-end visibility and management, and single day provisioning and SLAs.

Vertical Systems Group is a market research company that provides in-depth analysis and statistics on business data network services with a specialization on migration trends. Their Leaderboards are the industry’s foremost benchmarks for measuring market leadership in carrier ethernet services, business fiber and of course, carrier managed SD-WAN services.

Such industry validation is a major achievement that further positions Aryaka as not only in the big leagues, but one of the heavy hitters.
