Aryaka (News - Alert) recently announced that its intelligent network has been deployed by Calypso. By leveraging Aryaka's intelligent network, Calypso will now benefit from seamless collaboration and communication among its remote workers.  

Furthermore, the running of applications such as SCP over SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and subversion (SVN) will be optimized to around 20 times faster on Aryaka as opposed to the more complex high-cost WAN optimization appliances.

The need for investing in more data centers or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure will also be mitigated.

In a statement, Brad Taylor, global director of Technology Operations for Calypso, said that, "Our remote employees had been complaining about slow application response times and we needed a solution – fast. We considered moving resources closer by building out more data centers or investing in fully meshed MPLS links with WAN optimization hardware appliances. It made better sense to go with a service model like Aryaka for many reasons and not just cost and performance. With Aryaka's quick turn-up we saw immediate results. SCP over SSH runs 20X faster over Aryaka. SVN source-code checkout runs 13X faster."

A number of banks, prime brokers, buy-side firms and treasury services providers from across the globe leverage Calypso’s integrated cross asset solutions. With the focus on improving its network, Calypso saw a number of options, including costly solutions that involved moving resources closer to users, and/or getting a fully meshed MPLS network featuring WAN Optimization appliances.

The firm decided to deploy Aryaka's faster, simpler network for its quick deployment time, and also because it would benefit from bandwidth scaling and the easy sharing of large files in a secure way.

Calypso will benefit from faster turn up; SCP over SSH, which runs 20X faster over Aryaka; SVN checkout, optimized to run 13X faster over Aryaka; bursts to 140 percent of subscribed bandwidth on Aryaka; and reliable core latency between locations for delivering an improved user experience.
