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.

Harding Safety, a manufacturer and supplier of marine life-saving systems, has deployed Aryaka’s software-defined, optimized network to achieve improved performance and connectivity between its sites in Norway and China.

The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a specific application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology applied to WAN connections, which are used to connect enterprise networks – including branch offices and data centers – over large geographic distances.

Mobile carriers continue their march towards virtualization platforms using network functions virtualization and software-defined networking technologies. However, cost considerations remain a hurdle as these NFV and SDN deployments will be taxes with running concurrently with legacy platforms, thus accounting for surplus operational expense in the near term.

SDN Africa, an exclusive reseller of Aryaka technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa, has launched its latest Cloud Express products.These products offer clients a much better performance on all their cloud-based services like Office 365, Salesforce.com, SAPCloud, Google Apps, AWS, Azure, Dimension Data’s MCP, and Google Cloud.
