    Having engaged with customers on similar projects, Array was able to quickly demonstrate the superiority of the aCelera platform in terms of both performance and scalability. aCelera not only improved the application experience for end users, it also lessened the burden on IT by way of plug and play upgrades and unified management. These factors, along with Array's unbeatable value and price-performance provided the competitive edge in being selected over alternative solutions.

    Commenting on the win Arvind Mehrotra, President Asia Pacific, NIIT Technologies said, "We are happy to partner with Array Networks for this prestigious project.

"This win is further validation of our presence in the India market, our new aCelera WAN optimization product line and our commitment to growing relationships with world class partners and solutions providers."

    "This will be one of the largest deployments of WAN optimization in India outside of the enterprise sector," said Shibu Paul, Country Manager for India, Middle East and ASEAN markets at Array Networks. "The project is further validation of the performance, scalability and acceleration attributes of Array's aCelera WAN optimization controller and the technical expertise of the Array and NIIT teams. We have similar projects on the horizon and are well positioned to replicate this success, seeing as none of our competitors can match the value that Array and its top-tier partners bring to the table."

    Array's aCelera WAN optimization product line supports virtual appliances, which provide scalability, flexibility and affordability for cloud and virtualized environments, as well as hardware appliances that deliver an unbeatable combination of functionality, performance and return-on-investment.
