Our take

As the cloud computing landscape develops, traditional networking technology has quickly become inefficient and outdated. Alkira solves this problem with its innovative networking tools for cloud and multi-cloud environments.

The company's Network as a Service (NaaS) model has proven extremely popular, and this has allowed it to scale rapidly. Its main challenge continues to be competing with similar providers, although its recent recognition as a leader in the space highlights the value of its extensive roster of solutions.

On top of this, the company's impressive roster of enterprise clients, considerable funding, and respected founding team all contribute to a business edge in the space. Cloud connectivity technology is still developing rapidly, but so long as Alkira keeps up with the times it surely has a promising future ahead of it.
