Contrivian Lighthouse Triumphs in Innovation Excellence
Contrivian is thrilled to announce its Lighthouse solution has been awarded the 2024 Gartner Eye on Innovation Award for Communications Service Providers. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional developments made in enhancing enterprise internet performance. Notably, the Contrivian North Star platform was also acknowledged as a finalist, further solidifying the company’s status as a frontrunner in enterprise connectivity solutions.
Transforming Enterprise Connectivity
The shift from traditional MPLS networks to modern solutions like SD-WAN is significant for businesses today. This transition brings with it various challenges related to internet connectivity, including issues faced with Direct Internet Access (DIA), broadband, and satellite services, which often lack the consistency offered by MPLS. The Contrivian Lighthouse, introduced in 2024, tackles these challenges head-on. It optimizes multi-access connectivity in real time, ensuring seamless performance across multiple applications and services.
The Lighthouse Technology Solution
Lighthouse utilizes an innovative network of internet beacons. These beacons are strategically placed near essential infrastructure, including cloud regions, SaaS applications, and data centers. They continuously monitor and adjust internet traffic to provide the best possible connection without needing complicated setups or excessive costs. The result is an optimal experience for users that keeps enterprises connected and efficient.
Streamlining Global Connectivity Management
In addition to the accolades for Lighthouse, Contrivian's North Star platform emerged as an innovation award finalist. North Star simplifies the complexity of managing global connectivity services by allowing enterprises to source, order, and manage these services seamlessly across regions. It provides real-time visibility into both network performance and service delivery, creating a streamlined process for businesses.
Commitment to Innovation
According to Grant Kirkwood, CEO of Contrivian, "Receiving recognition for both Contrivian Lighthouse and Contrivian North Star highlights our commitment to transforming enterprise connectivity. While Lighthouse focuses on real-time optimization to provide outstanding performance, North Star offers a simplified approach to managing global connectivity, empowering enterprises to maintain smooth operations."
Impact of Lighthouse and North Star
Since its launch, the Lighthouse solution has successfully prevented over 100 service-impacting outages, saving businesses millions in potential downtime. By integrating multiple access technologies, including 5G and LEO satellite communications, it guarantees consistent connectivity even in the most remote areas. This versatility enables businesses to optimize their performance without compromising on flexibility.
Similarly, the North Star platform has revolutionized how enterprises procure and manage their connectivity services. The time required to generate quotes for global connectivity has been reduced dramatically, from weeks to mere minutes, leading to significant cost reductions through the use of the most efficient network paths.
