Leading Industry Analyst Firm Recognizes Mushroom Networks as an SD-WAN Market Leader

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 30, 2017 -- Mushroom Networks, an innovator in Broadband-Bonding™ and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) platforms, today announced leading global market research firm Quadrant Knowledge Solutions has recognized Mushroom Networks as the 2016 SD-WAN Company of the Year. This recognition comes in conjunction with the release of Quadrant’s recent study, the “Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Global Market Outlook.” Significantly, this study also evaluated companies including Velocloud, Viptela, Silver Peak, Riverbed Networks, Versa Networks, CloudGenix, Aryaka Networks, Cisco, and others.

“Mushroom Networks, with its unique and innovative SD-WAN solution and Broadband Bonding technology, is well positioned to continue to help enterprises in improving WAN performance,” said Jaideep Singh, Senior Analyst for Quadrant Knowledge Solutions. “Driven by strong overall performance in terms of sophistication, depth and maturity of the technology, visionary innovation, and industry impact, Quadrant Knowledge Solutions recognizes Mushroom Networks as the 2016 Company of the Year in the global SD-WAN market.”

Quadrant specifically noted the advanced functionality of Mushroom Networks’ VNF Design Studio, which enables service providers and larger enterprises to easily build their VNFs with advanced capabilities that fit their WAN and traffic profile.

Cahit Akin, CEO of Mushroom Networks, said, “Our VNF Design Studio extends the programmability benefits of the software-defined data center all the way to the branch office. We’re thrilled that Quadrant has chosen to recognize our advanced approach to SD-WAN as the future of the market.”

As businesses begin to recognize the WAN as the primary performance bottleneck for cloud services and Internet connectivity, there has been a shift away from carrier-managed private networks like MPLS as the sole connectivity resource, due to hosted applications as well as lower cost and higher bandwidth availability. More and more businesses are looking to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and distributors/VARs for solutions that enable them to remotely and easily manage multiple locations with disparate connectivity. Mushroom’s channel partner programs include a wide range of SD-WAN and Broadband Bonding solutions for various vertical markets and are available for qualified resellers and service providers worldwide.
