Array Networks

What Array Networks does

Array Networks is a network functions platform company headquartered in Milpitas, California, with operating presence in India (regional HQ and R&D), Japan, Taiwan, the UAE, and channel reach into Latin America, Europe, and Africa. Founded in 2000 and serving over 6,000 customers globally, the company develops purpose-built systems for deploying virtual application delivery, networking, and security functions with guaranteed performance. The product portfolio is organized around three core platforms: the APV Series physical and virtual Application Delivery Controllers (load balancing, SSL offloading, application acceleration); the AVX Series Network Functions Platform for consolidating multiple VNFs (ADC, WAF, SSL VPN, NGFW) on hyperconverged infrastructure; and the AG Series SSL/IPsec VPN gateways. Complementary security products include Array Cloud WAF (with ML-based behavioral analysis), Zero Trust Access Gateway (ZTAG) for identity-based per-application access, SSL Intercept for encrypted traffic inspection, and Array IDpass for FIDO-based passwordless authentication. The newer struXture InMotion (2024) extends into enterprise-to-cloud data protection.

The company generates revenue across four streams: hardware appliance sales (one-time capital purchases), virtual appliance and software licensing with pay-as-you-grow models (sold singly or in packs of 4/8/16/32 instances, recurring), public cloud marketplace transactions on AWS, Azure, GCP, and AWS GovCloud, and channel-partner resale through regional distributors (Redington for MEA, CEGA for Latin America, Connex for Sri Lanka, Reliable Information for Taiwan). Go-to-market combines channel-partner-led distribution with direct enterprise field sales, supported by an ASAP partner program for VARs and MSPs. Array's stated differentiators are a proprietary SSL stack immune to most OpenSSL vulnerabilities, all-inclusive feature licensing versus à la carte competitors, and pricing 40%+ below comparable ADCs. Customers span healthcare, education, government, financial services, logistics, and telecom — exemplified by Axia Women's Health, LA Community College District, Binghamton University, County of Maui, J&T Express, Cash Depot, and Toshiba. The company is a subsidiary of Array Inc., listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TPE:3664), with leadership including Sameena Ahmed (President & GM, former CFO who led the Taiwan IPO), Joseph Lien (Chairman), Joe Hwang (GM), Kelly Wang and Sean Fang (CFOs), and Vinod Pisharody (CTO/VP Engineering). Array is IDC-recognized as a leader in the India ADC market across multiple quarters from 2020 to 2022 and holds certifications including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001, FIPS 140-2, ICSA Labs WAF/SSL-TLS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, and EAL2.
