Aryaka® declared that JAS Forwarding Worldwide is using Aryaka’s WAN as-a-Service to ensure fast, reliable access to Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) public cloud platform. As part of Microsoft’s EspressRoute program, Aryaka provides Microsoft customers with fast, reliable access to Microsoft Azure and, soon, to Office365, as well.
Like many companies migrating mission-critical applications to the cloud, JAS Forwarding Worldwide, a recognized leader in global freight forwarding and logistics, learned that application performance tends to degrade over the Internet. JAS Forwarding had already begun moving key workloads to Microsoft Azure, counting Active Directory domain servers, file services, and ERP applications. However, due to congestion, latency, jitter, and other networking issues, the public Internet simply can’t deliver the speed and reliability that enterprises demand from their cloud-based applications.
JAS had also investigated traditional methods, such as MPLS, for accelerating its connections to Azure, but they were too expensive and took far too long to deploy. JAS Forwarding then looked at Microsoft’s ExpressRoute program.
Aryaka, the pioneer of WAN as-a-Service, delivers network optimization and application acceleration for the global enterprise, facilitating better collaboration, communication, and business productivity.
