Aryaka's Growth Accelerates at Record Speed in H1 2015

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 3, 2015) - Aryaka®, the leading WAN as-a-Service company, announced today that the company closed the first half of 2015 with a series of significant wins. Aryaka closed the first-half of calendar 2015 with record bookings, record revenues, record gross margins, and a record number of new customer acquisitions. In the first half of calendar 2015, Aryaka's total number of active customers, as well as long-term recurring revenues, nearly doubled as compared to the first-half of calendar 2014.

From Inventing SD-WANs to Building out a Global, Private Network

Today's agile global businesses couldn't move forward to capitalize on trends like globalization and the mainstreaming of cloud computing because MPLS and WAN optimization hardware acted as major bottlenecks.

As a result, Aryaka decided that just replacing MPLS with an SD-WAN was not nearly enough. So, the company began steadily building out an optimized, global private enterprise-grade WAN, one that can be deployed in a day and is an order of magnitude more affordable. And Aryaka offered it as a 24x7 managed service, eliminating the sleepless nights that customers have when they try to cobble together WAN optimization boxes and MPLS lines. Now, optimization and software-defined networking are simply features within Aryaka's complete WAN solution.

To further extend that network, Aryaka expanded its footprint of global Points of Presence (PoPs) in January 2015, adding PoPs in Los Angeles, Miami, and Dubai. As a result, more than 90% of the world's business users are now within 30 milliseconds of an Aryaka PoP.

"In the past six months, we saw the enterprise market express a great deal of interest in software-defined networking, particularly SD-WANs," said Ram Gupta, Executive Chairman of Aryaka. "Businesses have grown weary of the compromises that come from having to choose between expensive, inflexible private networking options, such as MPLS, and the unreliable and congested public Internet, which SD-WAN vendors rely on. We help enterprises put all of those compromises in the rear-view mirror with our no-compromise WAN as-a-Service portfolio, which offers flexible, on-demand services that include everything from SD-WANs to guaranteed performance to WAN optimization, all of which can be deployed in less than a day and with no Capex whatsoever."
