Graphiant, a provider of next-generation edge services, announced the close of a $62 million Series B funding round based on Graphiant’s strong traction in both enterprise and service provider markets.
The round brings the company's total funding to $96M. The funding will be used to enable continued growth as Graphiant's next-gen architecture gains momentum.
Graphiant provides a next-gen network edge that combines the performance and security of MPLS with the agility that is only attainable with "as-a-Service" delivery. By combining modern "as-a-Service" delivery with a high-performance private network, Graphiant offers true SLA-class performance at up to 70% less cost.
Graphiant addresses three important use cases. First, enterprises can use Graphiant to connect enterprise resources. Second, they can connect to multiple public clouds. And third, enterprises can connect to other businesses, such as partners or customers.

The reaction to Graphiant's network edge has been swift and enthusiastic. It has been much faster than what we saw with MPLS at Cisco or SD-WAN with Viptela. Graphiant has hit a nerve.
Mike Goguen, Founder and Managing Partner at Two Bear Capital
The value proposition Graphiant provides to large enterprises is clearer and more dramatic than any other solution out there, so the early and strong adoption of Graphiant by that market has not been a surprise. But seeing large service providers also enthusiastically partner with Graphiant has been unexpected and significantly boosts the company’s potential for massive and positive impact on the global WAN market as a whole.
