Aryaka's WAN Optimization-as-a-Service Expands to Brazil Responding to Customer Demand

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 25, 2012) - Spurred by strong customer pull, Aryaka, provider of the world's first cloud-based WAN optimization and application acceleration solution, today announced its entry into Brazil to serve the country's fast growing base of companies headquartered there while enabling multinational firms to better connect their Brazil presence with their locations in other regions.

The push into Brazil is part of Aryaka's ongoing network expansion of a highly optimized architecture for WAN optimization delivered-as-a-service. Aryaka's intelligent, high performing network ensures less than 20-millisecond latency for more than 90 percent of the world's business users. Aryaka's Points of Presence (POPs) are deployed worldwide and located in close proximity to global business hubs including Australia, Israel, China, Singapore, India and across multiple locations within Europe and North America. In addition to expanding its physical network location in Brazil, Aryaka has signed up a number of channel partners in the country, including Vantix Tecnologia, and is conducting multiple trials with new prospects.

"Brazil is the center of gravity for doing business in Latin America," said Ajit Gupta, Founder, President and CEO of Aryaka. "We've seen huge inbound demand from Brazil for our WAN optimization-as-a-service because we offer a clear choice beyond dedicated MPLS links and costly hardware to optimize the WAN. For Brazilian companies and international companies doing business in Brazil, Aryaka places the network near the customer and connects them to wherever their offices are, worldwide."

Brazil has emerged over the last twelve years as one of the world's most attractive locations for foreign investment and new trade as more corporations open new offices in the country. Late last year, Brazil edged out Britain as the world's sixth largest economy.

Aryaka's presence in Brazil highlights the importance of investments in information and communication in the country. Aryaka provides a simpler and more affordable alternative enabling companies doing business there to collaborate and communicate more effectively.
