“We are excited to be named a finalist for three Leading Lights awards, and we thank the judges at Light Reading for this important recognition,” said Shekar Ayyar, CEO and chairman at Arrcus. “Innovation in cloud services and in routing and switching solutions is critical.

Forward-thinking enterprises and communication services providers need to free themselves from legacy networks and embrace the new world of disaggregated, programmable networking to generate new revenues, elevate their agility, efficiency and resilience, and ensure robust 5G and Web 3.0 application experiences with speed and ease.”

Arrcus is a Private Company of the Year award finalist because of its innovative, pioneering work and unique solution in networking. The company enables secure, distributed connectivity with software-centric solutions that offer massive scale and industry-leading performance, while being robust, open and modular. It has built a collection of networking, analytics and management technologies and has brought together this group of technologies into a cohesive, unified networking platform: the Arrcus Connected Edge (ACE).
