Improved delivery, better visibility: How Accedian and VMware are working together to help CSPs navigate the 5G world
Adding a new dimension of visibility to the Cisco Full-Stack Observability portfolio with Accedian Skylight
Tools & Support
Every company name has a story behind it, and ours is no exception. If you’ve ever wondered the full story behind “Accedian,” with its fairly obvious “upward” connotations (e.g. “ascend”), here’s a short explanation from our Founder and CEO, Patrick Ostiguy.
Accedian is an adjective derived from the verb “to accede,” which has two meanings:
- The action of granting agreement. “I accede to your request.”
- Being elevated to a higher level. “Queen Elizabeth acceded to the throne of England.”
Accedian is also a derivative from the Spanish verb accedar, or the French verb acceder, which mean “getting access to.”
Put the two together, and Accedian means: “network visibility/insight that enables a higher level of performance.”
Our brand circle, shown above, sums up the relationship between network visibility, network control, user experience, and competitive differentiation.
