Aryaka Cloud-First WAN Offering Disrupts Traditional SD-WAN and Legacy Service Provider Models (BusinessWire) Aryaka Cloud-First WAN Offering Disrupts Traditional SD-WAN and Legacy Service Provider Models.

In a move to differentiate itself from the increasingly crowded SD-WAN pack, Aryaka today announced it was breaking out its SD-WAN platform into a range of smart services.

According to David Ginsburg, VP of product and solutions marketing at Aryaka, the move will give customers greater flexibility.

Aryaka has expanded its suite of managed SD-WAN offerings, and announced its SD-WAN will be available for regional deployments starting early next year.

Aryaka offers its SmartConnect technology as a managed, global SD-WAN service, but now it has added four new as-a-service offerings to its newly branded SmartServices platform. With the SmartServices platform, Aryaka is looking to differentiate itself from the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) SD-WAN offerings from vendors such as VMware as well as the ones offered by service providers through partnerships with vendors such as Cisco.

Aryaka, the cloud-first WAN company and #1 end-to-end managed SD-WAN provider, today significantly expanded its portfolio of managed SD-WAN offerings delivered via its newly branded SmartServices platform™. Expanding beyond its flagship SmartConnect offering that delivers connectivity-as-a-service, Aryaka introduced four additional ‘as-a-service’ offerings that include network and application acceleration, multi-cloud networking, managed security and actionable insights.

Aryaka Networks celebrated its 10-year anniversary, and MetTel celebrated five years of partnering with VeloCloud. Both companies have profited off SD-WAN as the technolgy has grown to be more and more mainstream.

Aryaka Networks and other privately held companies are among the startups to watch offering the software-defined networks, say Wall Street analysts. Count on them to be acquired or launch IPOs. Cisco rival Arista Networks (ANET) is among potential buyers. Other startups include Nuage Networks, Fatpipe Networks and Cato Networks.

We’re a timeless classic—we’re like a Rolex watch. We’ve been around for a while but are still as relevant and innovative. The market has evolved, and it’s a great opportunity and great time for us to help our partners make money,’ says Aryaka CEO Matt Carter.

The latest IHS Markit report on the SD-WAN market found that VMware, Cisco, and Aryaka continued to dominate the space, though there was a shakeup outside the top three. Overall, the research firm observed a 23% sequential increase in appliances and control and management software sales.

When I was a network engineer for a VAR, I had the edge router thing solved. It didn’t take me any time to get a device up and running and working the way the customer wanted it to be done. On the other hand, dealing with the local provider for network access was a different story. I could probably write a book about all the crazy things I had to deal with when I was on hold with the local telco or when I was lost in the process of the large providers just hoping that someone remembered to schedule techs to be on-site this week.

Our open approach to multi-layered security delivers on the choice that enterprises prefer and partners with cloud security leaders for easy integration.

Global Convergence, Inc. (GCI), a global Managed IT Lifecycle services and solutions company, today announced that it is now authorized to offer its extensive customer base, Aryaka’s Global Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions within the US, EMEA, APAC and LATAM.

The Aryaka hybrid WAN is expected to help the vendor sell more to customers that have found its global SD-WAN too expensive for connecting sites in one geographical location.
