SDN Africa and Aryaka Team Up to Provide Accelerated Cloud Access to Enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa - Seite 2

"Since I started investigating SDN a few years ago, I have been convinced that SDN will do to networking, what cloud-computing did to hosting. There are so many opportunities arising as a result of the evolution of SDN. We need to start taking some of the easier-to-adopt options -- such as Aryaka's WAN Optimization as-a-Service -- to market, as soon as possible. With the solution proving increasing popular around the world, we are proud to be bringing this capability to the South African market," added Steingo.

The combined power of the two companies' technology and business development assets effectively addresses the performance issues that many South African businesses face when connecting to distant cloud services, such as slow application performance, end user complaints, and unstable latency. The partnership will, thus, drive higher cloud adoption in sub-Saharan Africa.

"We are excited to welcome SDN Africa as our strategic partner in the sub-Saharan market," said Mark Fogel, VP of Global Service Provider Alliances for Aryaka. "As cloud adoption soars in sub-Saharan Africa, and as applications continue to move outside the datacenter and into the cloud, enterprises need a software-defined WAN solution with cloud acceleration capabilities that can guarantee application performance and end user productivity. Aryaka's optimized SD-WAN delivers this via a fully managed delivery model, with instantaneous deployment, network-wide visibility, and 24x7 world-class support. Our partnership with SDN Africa will enable us to expand our presence within the growing sub-Saharan market for cloud services."
