- Increased Total Addressable Market (TAM) – Aryaka’s all-in-one SD-WAN and SASE services are based on the company’s FlexCore technology, which enables partners to deliver services optimized for performance over Layer 2 or cost over Layer 3. This flexibility also expands the total addressable market for Aryaka’s services to include businesses of all sizes – from global enterprises to regional small and medium businesses (SMBs).
- Simplified Packaging and Pricing – Aryaka’s SmartConnect EZ + SmartConnect Pro and Prime EZ solutions are easy to quote, sell and consume with “T-shirt” sized pricing and standard service tiers, speeding time to revenue for partners.
