Keynua Relies on Cirion and AWS Cloud Solutions
With Cirions Cloud Analytics solution, the company gains greater visibility of its public cloud costs and can optimize budgets. Users benefit from streamlined and secure processes and signature of contracts.
LIMA, May 04, 2023 – Today, companies demand the best technologies to carry out their daily activities and offer optimal services to customers. This is the case with Keynua, a leading electronic signature services company.
Cirion Technologies has been providing MPLS connectivity services to Keynua Peru for several years. Through these networks, the American company initially connected its offices with Cirion’s local cloud service Dynamic Enterprise Computing (DEC) to host its virtual servers, where some of their services to state-owned entities are located. As the business continued to grow, Keynua decided to add Cirion’s Cloud Analytics solution to help optimize its AWS expenses.
Cloud Analytics is a SaaS (Software as a Service)-type product that provides a high level of visibility into customers service consumptions in the public clouds. In such a dynamic and diverse environment, it allows them to obtain the information needed to optimize costs.
Thanks to working with Cirion Technologies, we have clear and detailed visibility of AWS costs. Additionally, we can optimize costs through the data analytics solution in the cloud, says Alfredo Granda, VP of Engineering at Keynua.
Oftentimes, when a company migrates its workloads to the public cloud, it loses the ability to manage and control its costs. This is why Cirion offers Cloud Analytics solution, which enables better visualization and cost control. Cirion’s Cloud Analytics solution generates daily, weekly, and monthly consumption reports, alerts, forecasts, and creates budgets, allowing you to check how much is spent on each service, as well as providing cost-saving suggestions, among others. In short, it makes it easier to monitor cloud costs to optimize your budget, which ultimately means better management.
Through the different views and reports offered by Cloud Analytics, Keynua will be able to visualize every detail of the consumptions made in the different public cloud environments with which it works, comments Gianni Hanawa, Commercial Director at Cirion Peru. This service facilitates management and control of the customer’s entire public cloud operation, regardless of the public cloud provider(s) chosen.
Cirion continuously provides us with a reliable and functional framework, allowing us to scale our business while maintaining the level of service, adds Alfredo Granda, VP of Engineering at Keynua.
Additionally, Cirion’s Cloud Analytics solution enables Keynua to use local billing for AWS costs. Furthermore, considering the partnership between AWS and Cirion Technologies, the latter can provide technical assistance as a Partner – Led Support.
Finally, the executive emphasizes Cirion’s experience and its positive contributions to the business, such as cost optimization and constant same-language support, which he considers key factors in maintaining a long-lasting business relationship.

SAN2 is well-positioned to serve as a critical hub for businesses in the region and beyond.
The data center will also enable businesses to build and scale their operations in a facility that aligns with Latin Americas sustainability goals, and Cirions Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy and commitment to technological innovation. SAN2 will have a market-leading PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), consuming minimal energy, water and natural resources to reduce its overall impact on the environment. These standards were also adopted by Cirions recently announced new 20 MW data center facility in Lurín, Perú (LIM2).
The development of this new Data Center in Santiago represents another important step in our journey to grow our platform of low latency, interconnected data centers and establish a growing digital ecosystem across Latin America, said Facundo Castro, CEO for Cirion Technologies. This new facility in Santiago reflects Cirion´s continued commitment to investing and providing our customers with the most comprehensive suite of data center solutions to support their digital transformation across the region.

Enterprises in Latin America are accelerating digital transformation initiatives, moving core applications to the cloud, and enabling work from anywhere.
Consequently, businesses across industries are embracing software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) services as an integral part of their WAN transformation strategy, largely to gain cost and operational efficiencies.
Cirion captured a first-mover advantage in bringing to market a first-of-its-kind product and agreement package in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution in Latin America, trusting that this technology would provide a leap in quality for WANs. Enabling the next generation of network optimization, Cirions SD-WAN empowers organizations with intelligent routing, faster branch site deployment, centralized policy management, and direct internet connectivity to public clouds and cloud applications.
Cirion Technologies predecessor company, Lumen Technologies, was one of the first network providers in the region to launch a standard SD-WAN service. The forward-looking move back in 2019 demonstrated the companys commitment to innovation and in addressing unmet market demands, said Leandro Agion, Industry Director for Frost & Sullivan.
Cirion´s digital infrastructure enables SD-WAN users to construct secure private networks across a combination of public and private infrastructures, including site-to-site encryption, regardless of the underlying access or transport technologies. The solution enables centralized management and control for businesses to route traffic on an application-by-application basis or by access type, enabling the connectivity of sites through a variety of backbone connections.
Additionally, the SD-WAN solution enhances enterprise network resources with the capacity to handle multiple types of access, such as broadband, dedicated Internet, and MPLS.
As part of its analysis, Frost & Sullivan found that Cirion has a strong base of network assets in Latin America to leverage across the SD-WAN portfolio, has strong partnerships with leading SD-WAN vendors, and has its own VNF platform.
