Talari Networks
Talari Networks provides WAN Virtualisation solutions that bring Internet economics to corporate WANs by transforming broadband and other affordable Internet links to deliver business-class reliability and performance predictability at
consumer prices.
WAN Virtualisation To Complement WAN Optimisation
Today, many organisations have widely deployed WAN Optimisation technology from companies like Riverbed, bringing benefits to projects such as server centralisation and data centre consolidation. Advantages seen from WAN Optimisation include saved network bandwidth but especially application acceleration which enables centralised server environments to deliver acceptable application performance.
WAN Virtualisation is seen as the next stage and is highly complementary to WAN Optimisation. The bandwidth aggregation and loss mitigation capabilities of WAN Virtualisation deliver further benefits to WAN Optimisation deployments, providing better end user performance for first-time data transfers, and reliable voice and videoconferencing, as well as more predictable performance for all applications when any part of the private WAN becomes congested.
What Is WAN Virtualisation?
At its core, WAN Virtualisation enables network managers to use multiple WAN connections - existing private WANs such as MPLS, as well as any kind of Internet WAN links, be they DSL, cable, fiber, Metro Ethernet, etc - to augment or replace individual private WAN connections.
A well designed WAN Virtualisation solution uses end-end algorithms to do dynamic, real-time, traffic engineering, reacting sub-second to not just link failures but also congestion-related network problems, enabling businesses to build a WAN that is simultaneously less expensive, with much higher bandwidth, much lower cost and with lower ongoing operational costs than today's proprietary, single vendor WANs.
WAN Virtualisation promises to revolutionise the economics of the enterprise WAN, making it affordable for businesses to deploy bandwidth hungry applications, VoIP, videoconferencing, virtual desktop infrastructures (VDIs), to enable private clouds and other modern technologies that support today's remote office/telecommuter environment, and to add bandwidth and reduce monthly WAN spending while increasing network availability and application performance predictability.
Talari Networks, with its Adaptive Private Networking technology, is the first vendor to deliver a complete WAN Virtualisation solution which delivers as good - and usually better - performance predictability than an enterprise can achieve with a single-vendor MPLS WAN.
