San Mateo, CA. – August 11, 2020 – Aryaka®, the Cloud-First WAN company delivering the #1 managed SD-WAN solution, announced today that the organization has won five technology industry awards—including three Product of the Year awards from TMCnet—for its managed SD-WAN, customer service and Unified Communications as a Service solution.
The awards include:
Unified Communications: Product of the Year
Aryaka’s UCaaS support leverages the company’s SmartConnect and SmartOptimize which all but ensure zero packet loss while managing latency and jitter. This is combined with Aryaka’s SmartCloud for SaaS connectivity. In a case study submitted to TMC as part of its award entry, Pilot Freight Services chose Aryaka as their partner to modernize their network as part of a broader digital transformation initiative to adopt cloud-based and SaaS applications, including 8×8. Aryaka’s integration with 8×8 was also a major benefit in ensuring a smooth implementation.
By leveraging Aryaka’s managed SD-WAN, Pilot Freight received the following benefits:
- Superior Experience: Quality collaboration sessions using a private network with built-in WAN optimization to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss
- Guaranteed Bandwidth: QoS for real-time communications: service prioritization, traffic shaping, and bandwidth reservation algorithms
- Non-stop uptime: Enterprise-grade connectivity to 8×8 UCaaS platforms, through a private network eliminating service interruptions and dropped calls
- Reliable Performance: Intelligent last mile optimization ensures reliable voice and video performance to all locations, including those with poor-quality Internet links
Most importantly, however, they saw their 8×8 performance improve.
Most SD-WAN providers deliver piecemeal solutions with disconnects between the overlay and underlay and with zero WAN optimization, or by throwing another box into the mix. Whether it be UCaaS, Salesforce or an in-house application, Aryaka is the gold standard for application performance.
“As enterprises roll out UCaaS, availability, user experience and security are top priorities,” Kiran continued. “But the lack of deterministic behavior in the underlying network fails to take optimal cloud application support into account. Aryaka delivers on the promise of a peak UCaaS user experience across the globe.”
Stevie Award: Gold Medal: Software-Defined Infrastructure
At the heart of the company’s software-defined infrastructure is the Aryaka Network Management Center (ANMC), which is used for the provisioning and configuration of thousands of sites globally. The company leverages what many term “intent-based networking,” in which a customer’s locations, application preferences, security posture and cloud requirements are all centrally programmed. Aryaka can provision a new customer on the global level in under 48 hours, a service-level agreement (SLA) that is unparalleled in the industry. ANMC also integrates predictive analytics and machine learning that enables the company’s network operations center (NOC) to identify – and even solve – WAN issues before the customer is aware or more importantly, impacted.
Stevie Award: Silver Medal: Customer Service Department of the Year
Aryaka’s industry-leading 24/7 customer support team, which includes the monitoring and serviceability of all Aryaka products, is integrated into the company’s single platform as-a-service offering. This allows Aryaka to configure, monitor and manage a customer’s WAN infrastructure holistically. Predictive analytics are built into the solution enabling the support team to alert customers to issues before there is any impact to them, while the MyAryaka portal provides customers with an end-to-end view of their network infrastructure.
“The Aryaka team is thrilled to receive these five awards that showcase our strong innovation, use-cases and customer-first attitude,” said Shashi Kiran, CMO at Aryaka. “Our goal with Cloud-First WANs is to take away complexity and make the network and security infrastructure as easy to consume as any other best-in-class cloud service.”
