Introducing your power team to enhance cloud communications and contact center performance across SD-WAN.
8x8 and Aryaka cloud-based services deliver the flexibility, simplicity, and scalability of the SaaS cloud consumption model, and Aryaka’s global footprint offers a perfect foundation for 8×8’s UCaaS and CCaaS offerings to achieve peak global performance.
Both companies are acknowledged leaders in their respective spaces: Gartner has named 8x8 a Leader 9 times running in the UCaaS Magic Quadrant and recognized them in the CCaaS Magic Quadrant 6 years in a row, while Aryaka has been named a strong performer in The Forrester Wave for Managed SD-WAN Services, and winner of ChannelVision’s 2020 Visionary Spotlight Award for SD-WAN & SD-Branch.
This partnership takes our cooperation to the next level.
The 8×8 Open Communications PlatformTM delivers voice, team chat, meeting, and contact center solutions for enterprises of all sizes. Our joint customers are provided optimized access to 8×8’s regional Points of Presence (PoPs) by leveraging the Aryaka backbone, eliminating the packet loss, latency, and jitter that can impact experience on the public internet. Regional on-ramps directly connect Aryaka PoPs to 8×8 services, creating an optimized topology. Customers benefit from real-time traffic management insights via the MyAryaka cloud portal that includes monitoring and reporting on 8×8 performance. Combined, this delivers the hands-off operation required by IT in a world where the one constant is change.
Enterprises are increasingly reliant on UCaaS and CCaaS to drive efficiency and meet customer demands. They expect high-quality experiences anytime, anywhere, and on any device. The underlying WAN infrastructure must therefore meet the demands of a flexible and dynamic workforce, while maintaining security and reliability. By leveraging the Aryaka backbone, 8×8 customers will not only have optimized performance for their collaboration applications, but also other applications they’ve moved to the cloud.
