Runner up: Citrix

Silver Peak, recently acquired by Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, helps businesses to realise the true transformational promise of the cloud, enabling them to shift to a business-first networking model. Powered by a self-driving wide area network (SD-WAN Edge Platform), companies are liberated from the compromises of router-centric and basic SD-WAN approaches to transform their networks into a business accelerant.

With Unity EdgeConnect physical, virtual and cloud-based appliances, Silver Peak powers a new business-first networking model where top-down business intent is the driver, not bottoms-up technology constraints.
