Aryaka Networks unveiled SmartSecure
Private Access, the industry’s most flexible managed Virtual Private Network
(VPN) for remote workers. Built on the architectural principles for SD-WAN and
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and delivered as a fully managed service, it
is tailor made for today’s enterprises that want to make their distributed
workforce “first-class citizens” with predictable and high-performance access
to corporate applications.
For the first time, regardless of location or type of application being
accessed, employees can seamlessly and securely move between on-premises and
remote office locations while experiencing highly predictable application
performance.
Why Hybrid Workplaces Are Important
The Covid-19 pandemic caused disruption to the global workforce. While many
employees were able to work from home, they were challenged to get predictable
access to corporate applications impacting productivity and collaboration. Many
CIOs engaged in post-pandemic planning exercises are looking for fresh
architectural approaches that would give them the flexibility to implement
consistent, secure and high-performance access to applications for onsite
office locations as well their remote workers. This enables the rollout of
hybrid workplaces, helping to redefine work as an activity and not a place.
Aryaka SmartSecure Private Access is designed to address these challenges using
a highly innovative and global Point of Presence (POP)-based service
architecture with built-in WAN optimization that extends the innovative
principles of a Cloud-First WAN.
“Aryaka’s Cloud-First WAN keeps our team more productive and better connected
than ever,” said Richard Delisser, SVP of Land Technology & Global
Infrastructure at World Fuel Services. “We’re confident our global teams are
experiencing secure and reliable application performance no matter where they
are, what device they’re using, or how they access our technology services.”
Key Features of Private Access Include:
Unprecedented flexibility: Now, regardless of location or type of application
accessed, employees can benefit from highly predictable application performance
across both office locations and home-based employees in a highly secure
manner. IT teams can now manage sites or users consistently from the Aryaka
POP, and they can allocate subscribed bandwidth to sites or users giving CIOs
the flexibility to choose.
Highly predictable and deterministic application performance: With superior,
deterministic performance that leverages Aryaka’s Global WAN optimized, L2 Core
Network, enterprises can avoid the pitfalls of user traffic that relies
exclusively on best-effort internet as a transport to both cloud and
on-premises applications.
Operational simplicity with lowest TCO: With Aryaka’s fully managed services,
rolling out secure private access delivers the “easy button” for enterprises
with a network Security-as-a-Service that integrates on-premises or cloud-based
security with solutions for any site, user or application globally, increasing
network security and significantly lowering total cost of ownership. Aryaka
offers a risk-free, managed on-ramp to SD-WAN and SASE architectures.
The Aryaka Private Access leverages the venerated VPN technologies from NCP engineering, which
supports clients across all major operating systems including Windows, macOS,
iOS and Android. NCP’s technology is now integrated into Aryaka’s global
POP-based architecture.
“Our goal with the SmartSecure Private Access is to give CIOs the maximum
flexibility to manage change and get highly predictable application performance
for their workers regardless of their location or type of application they’re
accessing,” said Shashi Kiran, CMO at Aryaka. “We have already sold tens of thousands
of user licenses and are accelerating the deployment of hybrid workplaces that
make corporate employees more productive.”
“The big advantage with Aryaka Private Access is it offers an architecture that
tightly couples SD-WAN branch and remote office solutions with the same
orchestration and security architecture,” said Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst,
Doyle Research.
The Aryaka Private Access solution complements Aryaka’s managed firewall
offerings with Check Point Software, Palo Alto Networks and others.
