About Alkira
At a glance

Alkira provides Network Infrastructure-as-a-Service for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. Founded in 2018 by Amir and Atif Khan, who previously created the SD-WAN market with Viptela, the company delivers a global unified network infrastructure platform that enables organizations to connect across multiple cloud providers, on-premises sites, and users. The platform allows enterprises to provision multi-cloud network connectivity in minutes rather than months through a service-based consumption model. Users can design and deploy their network architecture through a visual interface, selecting and inserting network services as needed. The solution supports hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity across major cloud providers while providing centralized visibility and governance capabilities. Alkira's infrastructure-as-a-service approach integrates security functions and network services that can be deployed on-demand. The platform addresses the complexity of connecting disparate cloud environments and traditional data centers by providing a unified control plane for network operations. Organizations can manage their entire multi-cloud network infrastructure through a single interface without the need to manually configure individual cloud provider networking components. The company targets enterprises dealing with multi-cloud networking challenges, particularly those requiring rapid deployment, consistent security policies, and comprehensive visibility across their distributed infrastructure. Alkira's recognition in the 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 as the 25th fastest-growing company in North America reflects its adoption in the market.
