Edge networking upstart Graphiant emerged from stealth mode in 2022 ready to take aim at market incumbents like Cisco Systems and other competing SD-WAN players. The networking newcomer is delivering what it refers to as MPLS-alternative edge connectivity between the enterprise WAN, hybrid cloud, network edge, customers and partners. Its offering is delivered as a service through the Graphiant Network Edge. The privately held company said it’s solving a big networking problem that existing SD-WAN players are not listening to—increasingly distributed workloads and network complexity that are in turn creating more complexity and security issues for businesses.
San Jose, Calif.-based Graphiant, led by a Viptela founder, told CRN it will do all its business through the channel. The company in March raised $62 million in Series B funding led By Two Bear Capital with participation from Sequoia Capital, Atlantic Bridge, Harpoon Venture Capital Partners and others.
