RESTON, Va., Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Apcela, the leader in application delivery network services, today announced it has been recognized as a Market Leader in both the SDN Transformation Services and SD Network Technologies quadrants in the 2019 Network - Software Defined Solutions and Services Quadrant report for the U.S. by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm. The report goes on to highlight Apcela as a Rising Star in three additional quadrants including Mobile Network Services, SD-WAN Equipment and SD Network Technologies (Mobile to Edge).
"Apcela has expanded its range of offerings and services to include managed SD-WAN services, network analytics platform, application acceleration for Office 365, and distributed security. The company is continuing its impressive transition into an enterprise-centric provider of software-defined networks and services. It has a strong base in high-performance/low-latency networks, hybrid networks and multi-cloud and SDN. It is particularly known for enabling smooth and accelerated application use and secure delivery," said Esteban Herrera, partner and global leader of ISG Research.
This marks the second consecutive year in which Apcela was recognized in the ISG Provider Lens Report as it continues to develop new capabilities and service offerings. The 2019 report notes that, "Apcela is a rapidly expanding company providing highly innovative solutions in the SD-WAN and SDN space."
"Our approach to network and digital transformation for the modern enterprise is unique and some say, disruptive to traditional network providers," said Mark Casey, CEO of Apcela. "The legacy network was not built for the challenges of today's hybrid IT environment. It is great to see thought leaders like ISG recognize the innovation and experience that Apcela brings to solving the performance and security issues that come with moving to the cloud."
At the core of Apcela's solution is its proprietary AppHUB. This cloud-based communication hub leverages virtualized network functions to deliver a complete, software-defined, application delivery stack. From switching, routing, and security to more advanced services like load balancing and WAN optimization, Apcela's global network of AppHUBs deliver optimized application performance between premises and cloud-based applications and data.
