SAN MATEO, CALIF. – April 27, 2022 –Aryaka®, the leader in fully managed SD-WAN and SASE, today announced SoftBank Corp.

The company appreciates Aryaka’s hybrid enterprise and cloud-friendly alignment that’s able to map where enterprises are going with their traffic, connectivity, applications, and investment.
In addition to a portal site that can centrally manage devices and networks, SoftBank will provide its customers with one-stop support for maintenance and operation after installation. Furthermore, SoftBank users will be able to build a more secure network as it can be linked with numerous cloud-based security services, including those provided by other security companies.
