This includes new points of presence in Johannesburg, Seoul and Tokyo, thousands of customer sites across hundreds of new customers. Recently-announced customer wins for Aryaka have included Rieke Packaging, a part of the Trimas Group (NASDAQ: TRS); BTS, the global leader in strategy alignment and implementation through the use of business simulations; MYOB, Australia's largest business management solutions provider and Petredec Limited, one of the world's largest liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) trading companies.

Aryaka has also been recognized with a number of prestigious industry awards, including its listing as a 2013 Emerging Vendor by CRN and its second consecutive year of being declared a winner of the Networking Tech Trailblazer by the Tech Trailblazer Awards.

"We are honored to again be positioned as a visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for WAN Optimization Controllers," said Ajit Gupta, president and CEO at Aryaka. "We are disrupting a $20 billion market across CDN, MPLS and WAN Optimization with a cloud network solution that replaces legacy hardware. Enterprise infrastructure is transitioning to the cloud and networking solutions need to catch up. With the hype around SDN and NFV, the world should know that Aryaka has been onboarding customers for Enterprise Networks delivered as-a-Service since 2010 to squeeze out aging solutions like MPLS. Aryaka will continue to introduce industry firsts, like our Network OnDemand metered provisioning."
