Over the last decade, the primary focus of most of the enterprises has been on data center communication due to the size, scale, and complexity of application software increasing enormously. However, the edge and access networks were deprived of innovation, performance or cost optimizations. The enterprises neglect their access and edge networks or besides were investing in few technologies like MPLS or private circuits. The biggest challenge faced by enterprises presently is to have a fast, safe, ubiquitous access networks. The fast safe and ubiquitous access network will improve the user experience everywhere when they use applications in the data center.

Together they drew up all sorts of topologies that could be solved by moving intelligence into the cloud. The team of founders wanted to build a technology and a product company with the unique identity of Bangalore. This idea struck them at a Coffee shop on the famed Lavelle Road, an epitome of Bangalore’s culture and heritage, hence the name Lavelle Networks.
