The Cloud is Revolutionizing the Enterprise WAN

Sonal’s recent post musing about the death of MPLS brought my thoughts back to the bigger picture around why we started Aryaka. Today’s enterprise IT managers have to address a workforce that is more and more globally distributed, while most internal applications and servers have been consolidated to a small number of data centers further from the end users who are accessing them.

Using Application Delivery as-a-Service for Remote Access SSL VPN acceleration

Mobile users and international small office / home office (SOHO) users need high performance, predictable access to the corporate network using remote access VPNs. Delivering acceptable performance for international users running interactive applications like remote desktop is particularly challenging.

Why SDN concepts need to extend into the WAN

SDN has been primarily discussed as network architecture that finds its roots in the datacenter where Layer2 technologies dominate. However, the network, like the economy, is global and the enterprise wide area network (WAN) becomes an essential component of that global network.

The birth of Network as-a-Service

At the time of writing this blog, Aryaka’s Network as-a-Service is mainstream for our customers.

It may be similar to the past but it appears to defy the present and define the future of enterprise networks, as we know them.

Why Can’t Mid-Market Companies Have It All?

In today’s competitive business environment, predictable performance is no longer a luxury — it’s an imperative. Mid-market enterprises are constantly challenged to accommodate different traffic types while ensuring bandwidth-heavy business applications, centralized backup and remote file storage and other organizational needs are not constantly bogging down WAN links.

How Does Network-as-a-Service Perform Over WAN Optimization-as-a Service

Centralized networks can work extremely well for small companies, but encounter more and more difficulties as the company’s operation goes global.

How the Cloud Democratizes and Complicates Disaster Recovery

Cloud computing is slowly upending the disaster recovery market.

Does Cloud democratizes and complicates disaster recovery?

Cloud computing is slowly upending the disaster recovery market. Only a few years ago, disaster recovery meant one of two things: For large organisations, it necessitated huge capital investments; for the mid-market on down, it meant backing up only the most important data to tape and shuffling it off to a secure location.
