MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 21, 2013) - Aryaka®, the leading provider of WAN Optimization as-a-Service™, Network as-a-Service™ and Application Delivery as-a-Service™, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent for the multi-tenant routing and service performance management technology core to delivering application acceleration as a service offering, rather than as technology customers buy, deploy and manage themselves.

"As the world's first WAN optimization as-a-Service company, we're already solving application and network performance issues for our global customers," said Ajit Gupta, president and CEO, Aryaka. "The patent nicely validates the momentum we've seen as our service displaces traditional MPLS and hardware-based WAN optimization solutions time and time again."
