Cloudbrink and Access Alliance for Education Forge Strategic Partnership to Empower Digital Learning
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 1, 2025 – Cloudbrink, a leader in high-performance Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Access Alliance for Education (AA4E). The partnership will reduce cost and accelerate digital transformation in K–12, higher education, corporate training, and managed service provider (MSP) markets through secure, ultra-fast, and reliable connectivity.
Cloudbrink’s unique software-only solution combines next-generation security with unparalleled performance. By leveraging dynamic FAST edges, personal SD-WAN capabilities, and automated moving target defense, Cloudbrink delivers an “in-office” experience for educators and students anywhere—reducing latency, eliminating packet loss, and enhancing the reliability of cloud and on-premises applications.
This collaboration with AA4E supports institutions and organizations by solving two of their most persistent challenges: reducing support burdens and controlling IT costs. Cloudbrink customers have reported up to a 90 percent drop in support calls. This solves the IT staff shortage by enabling organizations to have remote user support staff, freeing up resources to focus on strategic IT initiatives.
“We’re excited to work with forward-thinking partners like AA4E,” said Mark Craven, Global Head of Channels and Sales at Cloudbrink. “Their deep roots in the education sector make them a perfect match to help promote Cloudbrink’s capabilities. Together, we’re enabling institutions to move beyond the limitations of traditional VPNs and slow, inflexible access technologies—with fast, secure, and scalable solutions that just work.”
“Access Alliance for Education is thrilled to partner with Cloudbrink to deliver cutting-edge networking solutions to the K-12, higher education, corporate, and managed service provider markets,” said John Hillsman, Partner at AA4E. “By combining our expertise in education partnerships with Cloudbrink’s secure and high-performance connectivity, we empower institutions and organizations with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly remote and hybrid digital world.”
Since 2018, AA4E has served as a knowledge accelerator—collaborating with educators, institutions, and organizations to deliver content, tools, and technologies that drive productivity and learning. This partnership with Cloudbrink is a natural evolution in their mission to help customers adapt to the digital age.
