Aryaka

Aryaka-managed delivery is an available service model; scope and responsibilities must be agreed in the service contract.

Aryaka explicitly offers fully managed, co-managed and self-managed delivery. Confirm the buyer’s retained tasks and service scope; self-management is not evidence of a standalone appliance purchase.

Co-managed delivery is offered; confirm the division of responsibilities with Aryaka or its delivery partner.

Utilizes the Aryaka Network Management and Control (ANMC) system for scalable, multi-tenant automation and orchestration Multi-tenant orchestration is confirmed at platform level, the partner programme names Managed Service Providers and System Integrators as a partner category, and co-management can be delegated to an Aryaka partner. However I found no vendor statement about white-label or partner-branded portals, delegated administration roles or tenant templates on the partners page or elsewhere, so this falls short of the full definition.

Aryaka provides truly global last mile services including wireline and 4G/5G wireless connectivity 4G and 5G are confirmed as supported and procurable last mile transport. Graded partial rather than yes because the ANAP appliance datasheet contains no mention of LTE, 5G, cellular, SIM or modem, and the High Availability datasheet describes redundancy only as dual ISP links, so integrated modem, SIM management and signal monitoring are not evidenced in the sources reviewed.

Aryaka Secure Remote Access provides integrated, managed VPN as a service connecting users to the nearest Aryaka POP. The gateways are Aryaka's own infrastructure, not a resold third party's. Corroborated by "a global private network interconnected in a mesh service fabric of over 40 Points of Presence (PoPs) across the globe" and by the NGFW being hosted on the ANAP and on Aryaka's POP, so SaaS acceleration, remote access and security enforcement all run on vendor operated PoPs.

Aryaka documents a global private network. This does not establish private last-mile access, every-country coverage or a site-specific SLA.

Native, confirmed with genuine specificity - the Aryaka Network Access Point (ANAP), included as part of the service rather than sold as separate hardware [9]

ANAP high-availability configurations are available; validate appliance, circuit and implementation requirements for each site.

Operates 24x7x365 to maintain industry-leading SLAs for uptime, latency, jitter and packet loss globally. Aryaka publishes a full SLA document with per service uptime targets ("Uptime of 99.999%" for PrivateCore, NGFW-SWG, PrivateAccess and RemoteUser, and Internet Breakout), a target of "Packet Loss of less than 0.1%", per minute probing, monthly measurement and graduated service credits of 5, 10 and 20 percent of Link Service Fees. That is contractual rather than best effort.

Aryaka has built a dedicated security stack on top of our Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) architecture The NGFW-SWG is Aryaka authored and runs on both the ANAP and Aryaka POPs, with IPS, anti-malware, application control via inline CASB and DPI, and URL filtering that "Protects users from accessing malicious URLs using reputation scores for more than 32 billion URLs." Note that a separate optional SmartSecure Hosted VM Firewall Service is partner technology ("The first technology partner providing the NGFW functionality is Palo Alto Networks with its VM series of virtualized NGFWs.") and the Services Description and Terms references a Check Point EULA, so a partner_integrated firewall option exists alongside the native one. The integrated platform firewall itself is native.

Native, confirmed as part of the unified single-pass stack [6]

Native, well-evidenced via the confirmed 'greatly improved network performance' customer testimony and the platform's confirmed application-acceleration heritage [22] Not confirmed

Aryaka operates its own 24/7 NOC (Network Operations Center) to manage, orchestrate, and monitor all traffic The 24/7 NOC half of the definition is well evidenced: Aryaka runs its own NOCs "24x7x365 to maintain industry-leading SLAs for uptime, latency, jitter and packet loss globally", provides "24x7 proactive Link Monitoring and management of Customer's procured last mile links" and "24x7 health monitoring and handle incident management issues related to the ZTNA Gateways". Graded partial because the Services Description and Terms explicitly excludes a managed SOC from at least one offering: "managed SOC (Security Operation Center) are not part of the scope of the Managed Firewall Service offering, and Customer is solely responsible for these functions." No published evidence found for root cause analysis commitments or structured service review and change governance.
