Aryaka has announced that it has been chosen as a GigaOM Structure50 company, the industry's first ranking of the top companies in cloud computing and infrastructure.

"We reviewed hundreds of companies, from startups to established players, and selected the top 50 cloud computing innovators based on their product innovation, market impact, technology development and visionary leadership," noted GigaOM editors in a statement announcing the GigaOM Structure50 companies. "We congratulate you on this distinction and the enormous contribution you've made to business, technology and society."

"All of us at Aryaka are honored to be recognized by the GigaOm editors as this further validates the market of WAN optimization and application acceleration as a service using a cloud-based model," said Ajit Gupta, CEO, Aryaka Networks. "This distinction underscores how speeding cloud application delivery for globally distributed enterprises is redefining the playing field for network optimization. While traditional players in the WAN optimization space talk about their cloud 'vision,' Aryaka's fully operational and optimized network is enabling global enterprises to achieve dramatic productivity gains by delivering new ways for today's business users to connect, communicate and collaborate."

The emerging enterprise is a combination of headquarters and branch offices, of on-site and cloud applications and storage, of data on local servers and in data-centers, and of on-site and offshore teams. Aryaka is the only solution of its kind in the world that can accelerate this new enterprise. Aryaka takes what has traditionally been a hardware solution and converts it into a cloud-based service along with the underlying dedicated network and global visibility. Enterprises are assured of carrier-grade reliability and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs), along with customizable quality of service (QoS), scalability, reliability, high performance, network availability, and redundancy unmatched by others in the industry.
