Aryaka speeds up Office 365 application experience worldwide

KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 (Bernama) -- Aryaka's SD-WAN technology has enabled City and Guilds Group -- a worldwide leader in workplace skills, e-Learning and executive coaching to achieve faster Office 365 application response times to increase productivity and better collaboration between users in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Aryaka's technology has reduced time for global users to open SharePoint files from 10 to 0.05 seconds and the Outlook performance improves nine times worldwide, a statement said.

As the members of the Group are scattered around the world and primarily collaborate using Microsoft Office 365 applications, many remote users were struggling to access the Group's instance of Office 365 hosted in Dublin.

It could take over 37 seconds to open one file from the corporate SharePoint drive. Besides leading to a high number of user complaints, the performance issues limited adoption of Office 365 for global employees.

"Our users in Wellington, New Zealand saw delays between 10 to 15 seconds opening a standard Microsoft Word document, which was impacting productivity. We knew this would be a barrier to further collaboration and helping us reach our revenue goals," said chief information officer for City and Guilds Group, Alan Crawford.

The Group selected Aryaka's global SD-WAN because it ables the company to deploy the solution in an hour and users saw dramatic improvements in application performance and could suddenly collaborate on Office 365 in real-time.

"With Aryaka's global SD-WAN, enterprises can act quickly to capitalise on changing business needs in near real-time, instead of suffering from slow application performance and project implementation delays," said founder and chief technology officer of Aryaka, Ashwath Nagaraj.

"We are delighted to see the results City and Guilds Group has been able to achieve with our global SD-WAN as a Service," he added.

According to the recent State of SD-WAN Connectivity Report, the average time for a 100 KB file to traverse Internet links from Asia to the Americas can be as high as 4,000 milliseconds unlike those on Aryaka's, achieving on average 4.1 times faster application performance and 2.5 times less variation in response times.
