"The rise of social media, demand for mobile services, consumerization of IT and shifting demographics has resulted in IT becoming an essential tool for productivity and collaboration. Consumers, citizens and employees now expect everything to be mobile, connected, interactive and immediate. Cloud, Mobility, Big Data and Security are the main themes driving significant change in the Indian Information Communication Technology (ICT) industry.
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is one concept that is gaining momentum. With India’s emphasis on infrastructure, empowering the rural population and development of fintech, healthcare, manufacturing sectors, IoE plays a crucial role. Life will be managed by technology and IoE is an enabler to this.
Drones are yet another technology advancement India is witnessing. In this digitally driven world, technology trends come along with security risks. Every technology advancement opens up a new attack surface. As a result, A10 is constantly innovating to keep pace with these new technology trends to help our customers protect their businesses from thenext-generation of attacks and vulnerabilities.
Since its inception, A10 Networks has understood that the ways applications are serviced and delivered continually evolve. This approach requires unwavering flexibility, agility, and security. These requirements are increasingly crucial as you consider how to address software-defined, cloud, and other networking demands.
For years, A10 Networks has expanded its product portfolio off a simply architected, yet highly efficient and powerful platform called ACOS – the Advanced Core Operating System. Our software-based ACOS architecture provides the flexibility that enables us to quickly introduce new solutions to solve a growing array of networking and security challenges across cloud computing and mobility. This means that whether a customer plans to migrate to the cloud, will transition now, or are already there, A10’s ACOS is the underlying application-centric platform that stabilizes their long-term investment.
Identifying key customers and educating them is something that we have not done consistently in the past. This year however, we have been extensively focused on this aspect and being a trusted advisor to them, this has now started yielding results. Training, enabling channel partners have been another key factor to our growth as well. Customers will be at the heart of the company.
At the beginning of 2016 we launched the new A10 Affinity Partner Programme in Asia Pacific, including SAARC. This programme is designed to motivate and reward A10’s channel. Through this programme, our channel partners will gain access to a host of resources and enablement programs that will help them lead with A10 solutions and grow their business. Core benefits of the programme include expanded programme offerings, increased partner profitability, and new training/tools.
And then in July, this year A10 Networks acquired Appcito, a cloud based business, which will complement our existing application delivery controller appliance line and also help our customers become more agile as we will bridge traditional and cloud environments.â€
