Founded by Anand Purusothaman, the AppViewX Platform is a modular, low-code software application that enables the automation and orchestration of network infrastructure using an intuitive, context-aware, visual workflow.
Businesses make significant investments in IT infrastructure to achieve excellent customer experiences, which is needed to survive in the digital age. But over the years, the enterprise network has become highly sophisticated. This means that demand for network automation is incredibly high among most enterprises, particularly for easy-to-use products. This is where one company called AppViewX has risen quickly.
If you look at AppViewX, the company provides low-code drag-and-drop automation and intuitive visual tools to automate and orchestrate a majority of the network processes. AppViewX has the unique advantage of being one of the fast-rising startups in network automation, with solutions such as orchestration of application delivery services and certificate lifecycle automation.
The organization is now preparing to expand aggressively in multiple Indian cities, and increase its headcount to more than 600 in the next two years.
