21Packets Origin
WanAware's roots lie in 21Packets, a company founded to deliver global internet connectivity to a unique and highly demanding clientele. These customers, including major energy conglomerates, international NGOs, and government contractors, required absolute reliability and dynamic scalability for their mission-critical operations in remote and challenging environments.

The Limitations of Existing Observability Tools
Existing SDWAN solutions proved inadequate for the stringent demands of 21Packets' clients. The company needed an observability platform that could provide real-time, granular visibility into their network and connected assets, but the available tools fell short of expectations.
Despite a decade-long exploration of every conceivable observability solution, 21Packets found none that could fulfill his specific requirements. Undeterred, he took the initiative to assemble a team of leading experts in big data, ingestion, and networking to develop a solution tailored to the unique challenges faced by 21Packets.
