"We map the Internet in real time and change routes on the fly, so if there's an outage in one area, we route around it," he said.
Gillai has a lot of experience in networking. He was at Cisco (CSCO) from 1998 to 2005 before joining 3Com, a Cisco rival that was acquired by pre-split Hewlett Packard in 2010. As senior vice president, he helped lead HP's cloud computing effort for two years. Then in 2014, into Inc., (HPQ) and HPE (HPE), he went with HPE where he remained until last year.
As CEO, Gillai succeeds Chris Keene, who held that position for a year.
"Saar Gillai is well respected in both the cloud and networking worlds," Teridion chairman Ronnie Kenneth said in a statement. "He brings more than 20 years of building innovative and successful businesses."
