If you have read a few of my blogs since I joined Aryaka, you’ll see that I blogged about Aryaka technologies such as SmartConnect and SmartEdge – in addition, we also have a capability called SmartCDN. So clearly, at Aryaka, we are all about smart things. We have a few holidays creeping up our way […]

Last week I blogged about Aryaka HybridWAN and its innovative approach to deliver internet connectivity with enterprise class SLAs to the branch. Of course, as soon as you open branches to the internet, security is a major concern. When it comes to security in SD-WAN, it’s easy to observe there are two generic approaches in our […]

According to Gartner, one of the key architectural characteristics of SD-WAN is the ability to leverage a variety of transport mechanisms to connect branches in a way that achieves an optimal mix of reliability, application performance and cost efficiency. The current status quo is simple: as they adopt SD-WAN, enterprises -among other things- look to reduce […]

As part of our global managed SD-WAN service, ‘pre-wired’ multi-cloud connectivity is one of the linchpins of our offering.  This permits our customers to access IaaS/PaaS/SaaS via our SLA-driven private backbone for mission-critical applications, as opposed to relying on the public internet that doesn’t offer end-to-end QoS guarantees.  The Oracle Cloud, offering some unique capabilities, […]

Calls, Calls and More Calls John Doe is a senior leader with a leading US-based technology firm. His day usually begins at 7 am, the perfect time to hop on a video conference call with the marketing team in Singapore, followed by a feature prioritization meeting with the development team in India. Ever since his […]

The other day, after I talked to a prospective customer, they told me they had read my last blog and that, while I talked about intent-based networking , I had omitted writing about orchestration, which is a key element in intent-based networking. They were right. In my defense, that would have made for a very […]

The cloud is a game changer. From the rise of Netflix and the Internet of Things (IoT) to the less sexy, but still impactful examples like the enablement of collaboration tools like Office 365, the cloud continues to transform IT in every industry. But in order to migrate to the cloud, embrace these new technologies […]

Once considered a laggard, the manufacturing sector is fast catching up on Digital Transformation initiatives. Central to this transformation are technologies like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the cloud, and big-data analytics. Introduction of IoT in the manufacturing ecosystem has streamlined the production process by providing real-time feedback and alerts from the factory floor. […]

Too often, SD-WAN deployments don’t take into account the application and network visibility required to make the most of the service; to ensure optimal performance and to drive maximum productivity gains. This is especially true with overlay SD-WAN, where control of the underlying physical infrastructure is under the control of a carrier, for example, while […]

We’ve all read about the growth of the public cloud and the adoption of SaaS. One of the leaders in this space is of course Microsoft Azure, both as infrastructure, but also as the platform for Office 365.  In fact, Azure revenues have soared 75% year-over-year.  Today, Microsoft is announcing launch partners for their new Azure […]

The cloud-first era is here. Most global organizations have embraced this and recognized that in order to stay relevant and to compete, they need to transform their network from a traditional WAN to SD-WAN. According to IDC, the SD-WAN market should reach $4.5 billion by 2022. But there’s a lot of noise in the SD-WAN […]

IT Infrastructure and Operations leaders responsible for Network and Application performance need deeper and complete visibility in real-time to ensure that both are performing at optimal levels. Enterprise network architectures today are complex with globally distributed branch offices that connect to multiple data centers, public clouds and a broad range of cloud/SaaS applications. Add to […]
