Dhrupad Trivedi, CEO of A10 Networks, discussed the company's history and operations in a September 2021 interview. He stated that A10 Networks was founded in 2007 by Lee Chen and went public in 2014, with approximately 50 percent of its business coming from outside North America. Trivedi said about two-thirds of the company's business serves service providers and one-third serves enterprises, and that the company provides products for network upgrades, virtualization, security, and 5G deployment. He noted that the company acquired Abisito to create a product called Harmony Controller, which he described as allowing unified management and analytics across product categories. Trivedi also said that at least 50 percent of customers see a return on investment in less than one year. In a September 2020 message about COVID-19, Trivedi said A10 Networks was supporting health care providers and essential businesses. He stated that the company's support teams remained available 24/7 and that operations teams were working with suppliers to minimize disruption. Trivedi said health and safety were the company's top priority and that the company remained committed to its customers and partners during the challenging environment.
“The company was originally founded in 2007 by Lee Chen, a great technical innovator, focusing on creating great products around application delivery controllers. In 2014, the company went IPO and has continued to grow beyond that, with about 50 percent of our business coming from outside of North America.”
“About two-thirds of our business tailors to service providers and one-third to enterprise. For service providers looking to upgrade their network, add virtualization, add security, get ready for 5G or deploy 5G, we give a set of products that work together and are easier to manage, providing investment protection throu...”
“At least 50 percent or more of our customers see a return on investment in less than one year. Our focus is to reduce their operating complexity and initial CAPEX while giving them a more integrated product suite including security, load balancing, and CGNAT.”
“Through the acquisition of a company called Abisito, we have a product called Harmony Controller that allows us to use one or more of A10 product categories in a unified way for management and analytics, which reduces operational complexity for customers by avoiding managing multiple tools separately.”
“We ensure that the components we put together are best in class because customers will not choose convenience over actual concerns about cybersecurity. Ease of use combined with best in class capabilities is why customers buy from us.”
“We are agnostic to the application; our focus is on whatever applications customers choose to deploy and manage SLAs around. We make those applications more efficient, more secure, and with lower latency, so customers have high confidence in delivering promised SLAs to their customers.”
“On the service provider side, we have a double responsibility: to help them generate more revenue and to reduce their operating costs.”
“We have worked with well-known service providers such as SK Telecom, which was leading with a pure 5G deployment and chose us as their supplier of choice. We also have customers in Japan and the U.S., including Microsoft as a service provider customer.”
“Our integrated security offering is fully integrated with IT; we are not a standalone cybersecurity company but provide security integrated with networking and application delivery, making it easy for customers to consume security alongside their existing schemes.”
“One of our products, CGNAT, allows customers to map between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, enabling them to modernize without a rip and replace approach, providing a practical path to full 5G capability and supporting digital transformation efforts.”
“We are in the middle of a global crisis. Health care providers and essential businesses around the world are supporting our communities and we support them.”
“Our customers and partners are dealing with massive changes in terms of the work styles and operating environments for their own businesses. I want you to know that we are here to help you navigate as you reevaluate your own needs as it relates to critical infrastructure as well as security.”
“Our teams remain committed to innovation at a product level that creates value for customers. Our support teams continue to be available 24/7 to support your needs and our operations teams are working closely with our suppliers to make sure that we can minimize disruption to your business during these times.”
“Health and safety remain our top priority. At the same time I want to assure you that we remain committed to our success with our customers and partners through these challenging environments.”
“On behalf of the entire A10 team I want to thank you for the business and for your trust in A10 Networks.”
