SHARE
Software-defined wide-area networking firm Aryaka Networks Inc. has made its first-ever acquisition as it bids to beef up the defensive capabilities of its platform.
The company said today that it has closed on a deal to buy German secure access service edge or SASE firm Secucloud GmbH. That company is now a fully owned subsidiary of Aryaka.
Aryaka competes with the much better-known VMware Inc. in the SD-WAN market. Its flagship SmartConnect platform is a globally distributed network offering built specifically to transport enterprises data traffic across long distances. The idea is to simplify the management of long-distance connections within an enterprise’s network while also providing faster and more reliable connectivity for applications, devices and public cloud infrastructure.
