Who is Graphiant?
Graphiant is an enterprise networking provider offering a cloud-delivered Network as a Service (NaaS) platform for secure, any-to-any connectivity across Wide Area Network (WAN), cloud, edge, and partner environments.
- Cloud-delivered NaaS platform for enterprise WAN and hybrid/multi-cloud connectivity (networking).
- Secure, policy-based connectivity between data centers, public clouds, remote sites, edge locations, and partner networks (network security / SD-WAN).
- Use of a stateless core architecture with encrypted tunnels at the edge for data privacy and segmentation at scale (network architecture).
- Support for hybrid work and distributed applications by connecting users, sites, and cloud resources over a managed backbone (remote access / WAN).
- Management and orchestration capabilities for defining policies, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and routing behavior through a centralized control plane (network management).

More About Graphiant
Graphiant provides a cloud-delivered NaaS platform (networking) designed for enterprises that require connectivity across data centers, branch offices, public clouds, edge locations, and partner ecosystems. Its offering targets environments where applications and data are distributed, and where organizations want to reduce reliance on traditional Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), DIY backbone builds, or hardware-centric WAN models.
The platform uses a stateless core architecture, where the Graphiant backbone forwards traffic based on labels and policies rather than maintaining per-flow state. Encryption and segmentation are applied at the edge, with customer traffic protected through secure tunnels between Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) or virtual endpoints and the Graphiant fabric (network security). This approach aims to combine elements of private networking and internet-based transport while keeping customer addressing and policies under enterprise control.
From an architectural perspective, Graphiant operates in a role similar to SD-WAN and modern WAN edge solutions, but delivered as a service over its own backbone. Enterprises connect sites, cloud VPCs/VNETs, and edge locations to Graphiant via physical or virtual endpoints, then define intent or policy for how traffic should flow between those endpoints. The service handles routing, path selection, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) policy enforcement in the core, while enterprises retain control over segmentation, identity of endpoints, and security zones.
Graphiant positions its offering for use cases that include enterprise WAN replacement or augmentation, hybrid and multi-cloud interconnect, B2B and partner connectivity, and support for edge computing or Internet of Things (IoT) sites that require consistent policies across many locations. Instead of configuring multiple Virtual Private Network (VPN) meshes or individual cloud interconnects, customers can use the Graphiant fabric as a shared, policy-governed transport domain.
For management and operations, Graphiant provides a centralized control plane (network management) where administrators define connectivity policies, address plans, and application-level or traffic-class intents. The data plane runs across Graphiant Points of Presence (PoP), which form the transit backbone, while edge devices or virtual instances reside in customer sites or cloud environments. The system aligns with common enterprise networking concepts such as route segmentation, Traffic Engineering (TE), and Quality of Service (QoS), but expresses them through policy abstractions rather than per-device configuration.
In a marketplace or directory context, Graphiant fits within enterprise WAN, SD-WAN-as-a-service, cloud networking, and secure connectivity categories. It is relevant to organizations evaluating alternatives to MPLS, traditional SD-WAN overlays, or bespoke backbone architectures, and to teams responsible for network architecture, cloud networking, and infrastructure operations seeking a managed backbone with centralized policy control.
