Apcela, a leading innovator in software-defined, cloud-optimized network services, announced it has been recognized as Market Leader in both the Network Technologies Suppliers (Core to Mobile) and SDN Transformation Services (Consulting & Implementation) quadrants in the 2020 Network – Software Defined Solutions and Services Partners Report for the U.S. by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm. The report goes on to highlight Apcela as a Rising Star in two additional quadrants including Mobile Network (4G/5G) Additional (non-core) Services and SD-WAN Equipment and Service Suppliers (DIY).

“Apcela has expanded its range of offerings and services to include a network analytics platform, application acceleration for Office 365 and distributed security. These are further supported by the AppHUB, Arcus (including security enhancements and Intelligence to abstract data and streamline event resolution), global network services and professional services practices, and mobility products accelerating applications.” – Dr. Kenn Walters, Lead Analyst & Distinguished Analyst, ISG Research and Lead Author of the 2020 Report.

This marks the third consecutive year in which ISG has recognized Apcela as a Leader in the ISG Provider Lens Report as it continues to develop new capabilities and service offerings. The 2020 report notes that, “Apcela is a vibrant, innovative and rapidly expanding supplier of relevant SDN products and services in the U.S.”

“Our Arcus Platform takes software defined networking and services to the next level,” said Mark Casey, CEO of Apcela. “ISG clearly understands the complexity enterprises face in modernizing their networks, and the power of SDN to help solve the performance and security issues that come with moving to the cloud.”
