Aryaka’s High Availability ANAP (Aryaka Network Access Point) builds on our virtualized, software-defined branch (SD-Branch) solution as part of Aryaka’s Unified SASE as a Service. It aggregates multiple WAN connections and provides converged network services including routing, encryption, security and traffic management. Our high availability configuration options allow for seamless, low-latency, secure connections between, branch locations, remote users, and the cloud.
The ANAP serves as the gateway to Aryaka’s managed global SD-WAN and Unified SASE as a Service platform, seamlessly integrating advanced networking, application optimization, acceleration, and security capabilities.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the ANAP portfolio includes both physical and virtual appliances built on a white-box architecture running an industry-standard Linux operating system. With built-in virtualization (KVM) and containerization, it efficiently supports Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) for enhanced adaptability.
Businesses of all sizes can rapidly deploy enterprise-grade connectivity to remote and branch offices—often lacking dedicated IT staff—within 48 hours using the ANAP’s Zero Touch Deployment (ZTD) model, ensuring fast and hassle-free implementation.
Aryaka ensures high availability through a comprehensive suite of redundancy and failover mechanisms, minimizing downtime and maintaining seamless connectivity. With dual IPSec tunnels to different ISPs, ANAP-to-ANAP backup tunnels, and direct IPSec failover capabilities, enterprises benefit from resilient link redundancy.
The Virtual ANAP Redundancy Protocol (VARP) enables an active-standby model similar to VRRP for ANAP failover, while SMARTlink enhances reliability with active-active ISP link usage, selective routing, load balancing, and advanced packet loss recovery techniques. Additionally, Aryaka supports dual MPLS tunnels with redundant ANAP deployments, ensuring continuous network performance even in the event of link failures.
Aryaka’s global private network delivers fast, reliable access to cloud and SaaS applications for business users worldwide. With strategically positioned Points-of-Presence (PoPs) across all six inhabited continents, Aryaka ensures optimal connectivity, enabling seamless access to critical applications and data centers from any location.
Many vendors emphasize the number of PoPs as a key selling point, suggesting that “more is better.” However, Aryaka’s scale-out architecture challenges this notion by allowing a single PoP to support an unlimited number of customers. In major regions like Ashburn and Frankfurt, Aryaka operates “PoP clusters” that provide the equivalent capacity of 10 to 50 PoPs compared to other vendors. With a strategically distributed data plane and single-pass architecture, Aryaka’s existing PoP footprint ensures reliable, high-performance service delivery, including Unified SASE. In the middle mile, where continents and regions interconnect, fewer PoPs can actually enhance performance—such as a direct Sydney-to-San Jose link outperforming a route through Tokyo or Seoul.
