In March 2026, Alkira launched Connect, its next-generation partner program built around a "Partner Profit Stack" of tiered margins, rebates, MDF, and velocity incentives - giving VAR's, GSIs, MSPs, cloud service providers, and security/AI-focused firms a repeatable engine to attach high-value services to every deal. Founded in 2018 by Amir and Atif Khan - the team behind Viptela and the founding of the SD-WAN market- Alkira unifies any environment, site, or user through an enterprise network built entirely in the cloud, managed with the same controls, policies, and security systems network teams already know, and augmented by AI.
