Aryaka SmartConnect

The Aryaka SD-WAN service utilizes Aryaka’s Zero Trust WAN and OnePASS architecture offering optimal service level guarantees for any site, application, cloud, or user, delivered as-a-Service. Aryaka’s private network spans over 40 points of presence worldwide, across six continents, ensuring reliable global coverage.

The private core network comes with two transport infrastructures for optimal cost and performance:

Private Core L2: Provides deterministic, MPLS-like performance at a reduced cost. This core is supported by Aryaka’s comprehensive lifecycle services and is designed for applications requiring guaranteed performance.

Private Core L3: Operates on a robust, multi-provider backbone that delivers enhanced internet performance with greater predictability than the public internet, commonly used for SD-WAN deployments.
Additionally, Aryaka SmartConnect includes public internet breakout capabilities for non-critical applications and maintains built-in MPLS interoperability. This feature supports a seamless and risk-free migration.

Aryaka Zero Trust WAN

Aryaka’s private core network provides customers with the flexibility to designate sites based on their performance and service level requirements. Sites designated as high performance or mission-critical can utilize the L2 core network, while other sites and applications with less stringent performance needs may leverage the L3 core network. Customers have the flexibility to utilize both or either core network exclusively. This flexible configuration allows enterprises to select the right service optimized for performance and cost efficiency. Additionally, the service supports Aryaka’s AppAssure and adaptive QoS technologies, which enable auto-configuration for complete control over network resource allocation and provide full, immediate visibility into network and application performance.
