Network infrastructure as a service across clouds, data centers, and branches
Alkira operates a managed network fabric for multicloud and hybrid infrastructure, built on AWS, Azure, and GCP. The hiring mix is heavily sales-weighted (5 sales roles against 1 engineering hire), while projects emphasize channel partnerships and go-to-market execution—signaling a shift from product-first to sales-and-partnership-driven growth. The low engineering velocity and European expansion challenges suggest the core platform is maturing toward customer acquisition and regional scaling.
Alkira provides network infrastructure as a service, enabling enterprises to deploy and manage connectivity across multiple clouds, data centers, and branch locations without provisioning hardware or managing gateways. The platform delivers centralized routing, segmentation, and policy enforcement across hybrid environments. Founded in 2018 and based in San Jose, the company serves mid-to-large enterprises navigating multicloud architectures. Active projects center on channel partnerships (Accenture collaboration), the cloud services exchange offering, and packet forwarding engine optimization.
