Teaming Martello’s network performance management solutions with Elfiq Networks’ SD-WAN technology creates unparalleled capabilities for delivering real-time services in the cloud.
Ottawa, Canada (January 4, 2018) – Martello Technologies, the provider of performance management solutions for real-time communications, announced today that it has merged with SD WAN network performance and business continuity company Elfiq Networks. As digital transformation accelerates, delivering real-time services has become more challenging with the move to the cloud.

Elfiq Networks becomes a subsidiary of Martello Technologies.
Martello has grown rapidly with software as a service (SaaS) that monitors more than 5,000 networks globally, detecting and troubleshooting network problems.

Together, Martello and Elfiq Networks will leverage a world class team as they advance their network performance management business. Existing leadership remains in place, bolstered by the addition of President and CEO John Proctor. Sampford Advisors acted as exclusive M&A adviser to Martello on this transaction.
