Cloud-First managed SD-WAN and SASE pioneer also announces additional channel partners coupled with new Aryaka Accelerate Global Partner Program

London, April 12, 2022 -Aryaka®, the leader in fully managed SD-WAN and SASE solutions, today announced it has launched a service Point of Presence (PoP) in Paris, France. Aryaka PoPs provide a global private network for the world's business users with fast and reliable cloud and SaaS access from any location in the world. They provide services that go well beyond internet access, including advanced first/last mile optimization, protocol acceleration, application optimization, optimal peering to cloud services and orchestration capabilities that enable true intent-based networking.

The deployment of EU-friendly web services addresses growing enterprise customer demand for better connectivity including support for the hybrid workplace. The company has also announced additional channel partners in the region in combination with the recently launched Aryaka Accelerate Global Partner Program.

This deployment answers the growing need specific to the EMEA market and region. Aryaka's European customers, which include Schenck Process, HMS Host, Giti, and Delachaux, have confirmed the need for better proximity to data centers and high-performance WAN connectivity. The Paris PoP answers their demand and underlines Aryaka's growing importance in the region as an alternative to legacy telecom operators.

Steve Harrington, managing director for EMEA at Aryaka, said: “Aryaka’s new EU facility in Paris is a direct result of growing customer and market demand. With this deployment, many European CIOs and IT leaders will be able to make the required leap from MPLS to a multi-cloud environment, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) without compromising application performance. We are now serving our largest ever customers, offering a level of flexibility our competitors cannot match. This new generation of customer wants alternatives to the status quo of large carriers. Aryaka’s new facilities mean they can protect their businesses, regardless of any future uncertainty concerning their working environments. This is a smart, forward-looking move for our customers.”

Growing Channel Footprint

Several new partners have already been signed-on in Europe since the beginning of the year, complementing Aryaka’s previous strong representation and expanding its support for local customers. These include the system house SMTnet Data Communications from Mössingen in Baden-Württemberg, the virtual network operator mitcaps from Mainz and the French integration and managed services specialist Rampar from Paris.

"The network of the future is characterized by performance, flexibility and security - and this is exactly what we can offer our customers with Aryaka's all-in-one solutions," emphasizes Raphael Gfrörer, COO at SMTnet Data Communications GmbH. "Thanks to other partnerships, such as the one with Check Point Software, our customers benefit twice: they get firewalls, as well as site connectivity and accessibility, from a single source."

"By partnering with Aryaka, we are able to expand our international product portfolio and are now in an excellent position to support our customers in the best possible way with managed SD-WAN and SASE," Wilfried Röttgers, CEO of mitcaps GmbH, stated. "For our customers, this means state-of-the-art network technology and maximum service as well as flexibility to connect our customer sites in order to comprehensively meet the requirements of today's business scenarios."
