“Viptela is honored to have been selected the best new product of the year in the 2016 BIG Awards for Business,” said Ramesh Prabagaran, Vice President of Product Management for Viptela. “Our SD-WAN technology solves the biggest challenges organizations face when enabling new services in the enterprise – whether they are rolling out revenue generating applications, deploying SaaS/cloud applications or connecting new branches, stores or ATMs. Viptela slashes wide area networking costs, increases bandwidth tenfold, and makes enterprises more agile.”
“Differentiation is a common theme among many of our winners, and we hope that trend continues,” said Russ Fordyce, Managing Director of the Business Intelligence Group. “Modern companies are now relying on their customers for inspiration and direction to improve and launch new products. We are so proud of all of the winners this year. It is truly a select group.”
