Unified SASE as a Service Provider Honored for Driving Innovation in SMB Networking, Creating Partner Opportunities
SAN MATEO, California – August 7, 2024 – Aryaka®, the leader and first to deliver Unified SASE as a Service, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Aryaka as a winner of the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. Aryaka is recognized for its Unified SASE as a Service offering in the SMB Networking category.
This annual award showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 37 distinct technology categories ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. The 2024 winners were selected by a panel of CRN editors who reviewed hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. Standout innovations were determined using multiple criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.
“We’re excited that Aryaka’s Unified SASE as a Service solution was the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator Award for SMB Networking,” said Craig Patterson, Senior Vice President of Global Channels for Aryaka. “Aryaka’s Unified SASE solution is battle-tested in global enterprise deployments. However, it’s ideally suited to meet the cost and support requirements of our partners’ midmarket and SMB customers because it’s delivered ‘as a service’ and provides the flexibility to meet customers where they are in their secure networking journey.”
Aryaka was also a Finalist for the CRN Tech Innovator Award in the Enterprise Networking category for its Unified SASE as a Service offering.
Launched in March 2024, Aryaka’s Unified SASE as a Service solution combines a unified single-pass architecture, global private network backbone, security, observability and application performance capabilities into a single platform delivered as a service. The result is unprecedented security without complexity, negative performance impact, or compromised user experience.
Aryaka’s flexibility enables technology partners to help business customers improve their network security by meeting them where they are. Partners can help businesses improve their networks from their current states by:
- Modernizing, such as moving from MPLS to SD-WAN, implementing secure remote access or adding managed firewall
- Optimizing, such as adding multicloud, SaaS or Gen AI acceleration or integrating third-party security services
- Transforming, by moving fully to Unified SASE as a Service
“We are inspired by the commitment to continuous innovation among this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award winners and finalists. Each of these technology vendors delivers cutting-edge offerings that meet evolving customer needs and create new opportunities for solution providers,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel company. “We look forward to future innovations from the recipients and to seeing how they advance success across the channel.”
