10 Things for Any Network Solution

SD-WAN was solved a decade ago. The network demands enterprises face today, driven by AI, new cyber threats and a changing economic environment require a fundamentally different approach.

Graphiant Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform is built to address these demands. Graphiant delivers a Stateless Core architecture for high-bandwidth, low-latency global connectivity with open hardware, improved data security and compliance, and simplified operations. Graphiant includes all the features of SD-WAN, SASE & ZTNA into its solution as free/no-cost components representing prior generation software capabilities.

Questions to Help You Evaluate Any Network Solution

Addressing Business Demands with a NaaS Platform

Graphiant is purpose-built to give distributed enterprises the ability to connect every endpoint, from branch offices and data centers to cloud environments and AI workloads, on an SLA-based, any-to-any fabric consumed as a service.

The platform addresses four core enterprise requirements:

Application Performance and Intelligent Routing

Performance is a direct driver of business outcomes. Slow applications reduce employee productivity, increase support calls, and degrade the customer experience. Graphiant addresses this with intelligent, policy-driven routing across its global Stateless Core backbone.

Automated Path Intelligence

Graphiant's platform applies SLA-based routing policies that continuously select the best network path for each application. Business-critical applications receive strict SLA guarantees based on latency, packet loss, and jitter thresholds. Lower-priority traffic follows defined quality criteria. The result is consistent application performance without manual intervention.

Automatic Failover

Multi-path technology automatically fails over in sub-second timeframes when a link degrades. This is built into the service and requires no manual configuration at the site level. Users experience continuity while network operations teams retain full visibility into the event.

WAN Path Remediation

Forward error correction (FEC) and packet duplication techniques protect application quality over imperfect links. This is especially critical for voice and video applications, which are sensitive to packet loss and latency spikes. Graphiant applies these techniques transparently without requiring appliance-level configuration.

Application Prioritization

Granular QoS policies ensure bandwidth allocation reflects business priorities. Critical applications receive protected bandwidth. Non-critical applications are rate-limited to prevent congestion. This delivers optimal resource utilization without requiring complex per-site policy management.

Simplified Operations and Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Network operations leaders running large distributed networks face a compounding problem. More sites mean more appliances. More appliances mean more configurations to manage, more firmware to update, and more consoles to monitor. Truck rolls are expensive. Skilled technical staff is scarce. And manual processes introduce risk.

Graphiant eliminates most of this complexity by delivering networking as a service.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

New sites connect to the Graphiant backbone automatically when onboarded. Through the self-service portal or REST API, teams specify their region and connectivity requirements. The platform provisions the gateway and connects it to the backbone within minutes. No site visit required.

AI-Powered Operations

Graphiant integrates agentic AI capabilities directly into the platform. The AI monitors network conditions, identifies anomalies, and adapts routing policies autonomously. It reduces the time operations teams spend on routine troubleshooting and frees staff to focus on strategic work.

Analytics and Reporting

Comprehensive analytics cover bandwidth utilization, SLA performance, application traffic, and security events. These capabilities include real-time alerting, historical monitoring, customizable dashboards, and adaptive response handlers for network events. Teams gain the visibility needed to troubleshoot quickly and demonstrate compliance.

Multi-Cloud Connectivity Without the Complexity

Multi-cloud connectivity has become a fundamental requirement for enterprise networking. Organizations run workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle simultaneously. Accessing them securely and efficiently from distributed branch locations has historically required complex, expensive overlay configurations.

Graphiant simplifies this entirely.

Pre-Built Cloud Gateways

Graphiant pre-configures gateways co-located with major cloud providers for high bandwidth, low latency, and low cost. New cloud connections are provisioned through the portal or API in minutes. No circuit procurement. No CNF cross-connects. No SD-WAN VNF hosting costs. Just direct, private cloud access.

Cloud Egress Cost Reduction

By routing cloud traffic through Graphiant's backbone rather than over the public internet, organizations reduce cloud egress fees by up to 70%. For organizations running significant cloud workloads, this savings alone often justifies the platform cost.

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Data Plane

Graphiant provides a high-speed backbone fabric for dynamic, multi-cloud application architectures. Traffic is steered intelligently across cloud environments with centralized policy control and complete visibility into application performance and security posture. This makes Graphiant the foundation for modern, distributed application delivery.

AI and Data Workload Support

As enterprises deploy AI inference workloads and data pipelines at scale, network performance becomes a direct constraint on AI system effectiveness. Graphiant's programmable data plane and high-throughput backbone are designed to handle the bandwidth and latency requirements of distributed AI architectures without costly overhauls.

Comprehensive Security and Data Assurance

Graphiant integrates security into the data plane from the start.

• Edge-to-edge encryption protects all traffic in motion across every site, cloud, and user endpoint.

• Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) ensures that encryption remains effective against future computational threats.

• DDoS protection is built into the Graphiant core network, not deployed as an add-on appliance.

• Inline threat detection and mitigation identifies and responds to malicious traffic in real time.

• Forensic path retrace enables security and compliance teams to reconstruct the exact path any data packet traveled, supporting incident investigation and regulatory audits.

• Global path controls and data sovereignty support give organizations the ability to constrain where data travels based on jurisdictional requirements.

• Policy-driven routing enforces security and access policies at the network layer, ensuring traffic is handled according to business intent regardless of where it originates.

Why Choose Graphiant Over First-Generation SD-WAN

The SD-WAN market is mature. Vendors compete on incremental licenses while the underlying architecture remains a decade old. Graphiant offers a different starting point.

Graphiant makes SD-WAN and SASE and ZTNA licenses free.
