Aryaka, the cloud-first WAN
company and #1 end-to-end managed SD-WAN provider, today introduced integration
with Microsoft Azure Active Directory to enhance the end-user application and
authentication experience. As part of this, the
MyAryaka cloud
portal is now part of the Azure Active Directory Application Gallery.
This integration further enhances Aryaka's cloud-first global managed
SD-WAN offering.
"With the evolution of managed SD-WAN from early adopters to the
mainstream, users are looking for the most frictionless experience to access
their data and applications in the cloud," said Armin Rishi, director of
technology partnerships at Aryaka. "Our integration with Microsoft Azure Active
Directory reaffirms our cloud-first approach to WAN transformation."
Advantages of integration include single sign-on (SSO) for applications
that enhance the end-user experience and simplification of application
configuration. Aryaka's customers can access multiple applications and
platforms offered by Aryaka. For example, MyAryaka and the Ticketing Portal can
now be accessed using a single set of credentials. Additionally, Aryaka offers
support for customers who use Azure Active Directory to log in to the MyAryaka
portal using their Active Directory credentials.
"Aryaka's support of Microsoft Azure Active Directory will further the
adoption of new services and applications across Azure in conjunction with Aryaka's
managed SD-WAN offering," said Alex Simons, corporate vice president
of program management at Microsoft, Microsoft Corp. "We are pleased to see the
work that Aryaka is doing with Azure in support of our customers."
Aryaka was previously recognized as one of the first partners for the Microsoft
Azure Networking Managed Services Provider (MSP) Program with an initial
focus on the Azure VWAN. This is combined with Aryaka's core service offering
that delivers distributed, SLA-driven access to Azure IaaS/PaaS via
ExpressRoute as well as access to Software as a Service (SaaS) applications
such as Microsoft Office 365.
