Our take

Increasingly distributed workloads and network complexity have resulted in an SD-WAN networking problem plaguing many companies today. Graphiant is solving this problem by eliminating the need to build bespoke networks between every resource. Its Stateless Core connects resources by handling all routing through an encrypted edge-to-edge portal that delivers SLA-grade performance with MPLS-level connectivity.

While there is no shortage of Network-as-a-Service solutions on the market, Graphiant enables customers to quickly purchase and provision connectivity networks, thus eliminating traditional reliability on a mix of hardware and network services by combining the best aspects of hub and spoke with the benefits of a meshed network.

Its going from strength to strength too, recently launching a groundbreaking data assurance service that offers complete control and visibility for data across the business network. It was also recognized with a 2025 Merit Award for Telecom in the Edge COmputing category. With this continued success, Graphiant is ready to lead a major transformation in the SD-WAN market.
