Xactly Achieves 6x Application Acceleration With Aryaka's WAN as-a-Service

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2015) - Aryaka^®, the leading WAN as-a-Service company, announced today that Xactly Corp., the leading global provider of Connection Lifecycle Management (CLM) software and related services, has deployed Aryaka's WAN as-a-Service to improve remote desktop protocol (RDP) performance for its global users.

With offices in San Jose, California and Bangalore, India, and an organizational culture that's built on employee collaboration, the WAN serves as mission-critical infrastructure for Xactly. However, the company's networking and IT teams were encountering several challenges with their existing WAN solution.

Previously, Xactly relied on an MPLS connection between its offices. Since network performance and uptime directly impact business productivity, the fact that MPLS was underperforming was a major problem. Due to the high latency between U.S. and India, application performance and overall end-user experiences were poor. Moreover, sub-optimal use of WAN bandwidth resulted in massive MPLS bills. As a result, the company began searching for a better, more affordable alternative to MPLS.

On the recommendation of one of Xactly's IT providers in India, Xactly tested out Aryaka's WAN as-a-Service. Soon thereafter, Xactly moved all of the traffic between its San Jose and Bangalore offices over to Aryaka's WAN as-a-Service. Through multi-segment TCP optimization, compression, and application acceleration proxies built over a next-generation, software-defined, optimized network, Aryaka's solution solved the latency issues Xactly was experiencing when they delivered applications over long distances. Aryaka's exceptional customer support enabled their IT teams to focus on more strategic projects and higher level business deliverables rather than mundane network connectivity challenges. As an added bonus, Aryaka's solution was up and running in less than a day -- as opposed to the weeks or months that it typically takes to deploy MPLS.

"We had been using MPLS links to connect our international offices, but application performance remained poor, and latency was a killer," said Robert Genchi, Director of Information Systems/Technology at Xactly. "We switched to Aryaka because we place a high value on the consistency and affordability they deliver with their global, private WAN."

Xactly experienced the following benefits by switching to Aryaka:

• Up to 6x application acceleration
• Up to 90% data reduction across all applications
• Up to 10.9 Mbps peak bandwidth savings
• Up to 14x faster TCP connection set up
• Incredibly quick deployment timelines
• Truly world-class support and expertise
