Common Questions

What is Graphiant?

Graphiant is a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform that delivers secure connectivity, integrated security, and AI-ready networking while reducing the cost and complexity of enterprise infrastructure.

What problem does Graphiant solve?

Graphiant eliminates the cost and complexity of traditional enterprise networking by replacing fragmented networking and security infrastructure with a single managed platform.

How does Graphiant work?

Graphiant replaces traditional networking infrastructure with a NaaS powered solution. Instead of managing multiple networking and security solutions, organizations connect to Graphiant, which securely transports traffic and optimizes connectivity across their environment. The result is a simpler, more secure, and more cost-effective network that scales as business needs evolve.

Who is Graphiant for?

Graphiant is built for organizations that want to reduce networking costs, improve security, and simplify IT operations. It is ideal for:

  • CIOs seeking to modernize IT infrastructure while reducing cost and operational complexity.

What Makes Graphiant Different

Is Graphiant SD-WAN?

No. Graphiant is an alternative to traditional SD-WAN architectures. SD-WAN relies on overlays, appliances and separate security solutions. Graphiant takes a different approach. Its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform delivers connectivity, security, and AI-ready networking as a unified managed service.

Is Graphiant SASE?

Graphiant includes SASE capabilities, but goes beyond traditional SASE. In addition to converged networking and security, Graphiant delivers connectivity, AI networking, end-to-end observability, and data sovereignty controls through a unified Network-as-a-Service platform.

Does Graphiant replace MPLS?

Yes. Graphiant can replace traditional MPLS with a more flexible and cost-effective Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model.
MPLS can be expensive, slow to provision and difficult to adapt.
Graphiant delivers private, SLA-backed connectivity with integrated security, cloud connectivity, and AI-ready networking.

Does Graphiant require customer hardware?

No. Graphiant does not require customers to purchase and manage proprietary networking hardware. Graphiant can run as a virtual machine (VM) or on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. Customers don't need to buy and manage stacks of traditional routers, SD-WAN appliances, firewalls, and other specialized networking hardware.

Which clouds and regions does Graphiant support?

Graphiant supports private connectivity to leading public cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Graphiant provides global connectivity across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East.

How is traffic encrypted?

Graphiant provides end-to-end encryption with AES-256 for data in transit and supports Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to help protect against emerging quantum-era threats. Encryption is built into the Graphiant network, eliminating the need to deploy and manage complex IPsec tunnels, VPN overlays, or dedicated encryption appliances.

How does billing work?

Graphiant uses a simple, capacity based subscription model. Customers pay based on the network capacity they consume with all capabilities included in that subscription. Customers do not have to purchase separate hardware, software licenses, or feature licenses.

What happens during an outage?

Graphiant is designed for high availability and resiliency. If a network path or service becomes unavailable, Graphiant automatically reroutes traffic across available paths to maintain connectivity.
