Analysis
Also read: Worry and concern in ICP-2 discussions at RIPE 90 Alfredo Giordano’s journey from a classical education to engineering and international experience in the United States and the Caribbean has culminated in his role as CEO of WARIAN since 2011. His unique blend of technical expertise and humanistic perspective drives WARIAN’s mission to innovate in the telecom and IT sectors. Under his leadership, WARIAN has developed proprietary infrastructure and services that empower clients across Europe and Latin America, reinforcing the company’s position as a key player in advancing digital infrastructure. As you might already know WARIAN operates as a Managed Infrastructure Provider delivering end‑to‑end cloud and connectivity solutions over its fully independent national and international IP backbone. We do a lot of stuff, but if I really need to summarise I would say that our core business comprises two pillars: First, Independent High‑Performance network: We have built a carrier‑class backbone with DWDM‑enabled PoPs across Italy, 5 EU and 1 LATAM PoPs that delivers ultra‑low latency and high availability, tailored specifically for cloud‑centric applications. Secondly, Cloud‑Native, Fully Managed Services: Leveraging our AnyCLOUD platform, we provide turnkey virtualisation and managed services covering compute, storage, networking, security, DNS, backup and disaster‑recovery—backed by 24/7 monitoring and a single point of contact for support. What sets us apart, as you say I call it added value is our end‑to‑end ownership, from the physical link all the way up to the application stack, and our deep network virtualisation (MPLS, VXLAN) that lets us to build fully tailored services and allows partners and customers to scale without investing in large technical teams or capital‑intensive equipment.
