Build on WAN Optimization

Talari and WAN Optimization are highly complimentary and customer deployments suggest that since Talari is able to quickly switch traffic away from a path observing sustained loss, using both Talari and WAN Optimization exponentially increases the benefits for application acceleration and WAN reliability.

Augment MPLS Network

As companies need to add additional links within their MPLS WAN for increased bandwidth or backup, they don't have to be MPLS links. Talari Networks makes it possible for companies to augment MPLS links with less expensive links by transforming abundant, affordable broadband bandwidth to high quality enterprise class links with the four nines reliability expected from MPLS services.

Optimize for the Cloud

The dependence on cloud computing has made fast, high quality Internet access from every location within an enterprise critical to business operations, but providing direct Internet access from every office won't deliver the quality, reliability, or security that most enterprises require. Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) makes doing Internet backhaul less expensive, higher capacity and more scalable.

Add Bandwidth & Reduce Costs

Talari makes it easy to increase bandwidth affordably and reliably. Our patented technology aggregates multiple cost effective broadband links and wraps a layer of intelligence along with management policies to mitigate the effects of latency, loss and jitter while maximizing the available bandwidth for each aggregated network. With Talari's products, you can immediately add usable, reliable bandwidth to your existing private WAN for all your sites by leveraging inexpensive Internet links. If you have a redundant WAN connection today, we can make use of the bandwidth that is already in place today with added reliability and performance.

Since Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology makes packet-by-packet forwarding decisions, rather than per-flow decisions, you can use all available bandwidth, even for a single session. This means redundant backup links are put to use, immediately providing additional bandwidth for no additional cost. Talari allows you to add up to seven additional links to your WAN and using broadband Internet links makes it particularly easy to add bandwidth inexpensively at remote sites.

For example, if you add just one 6 Mbps downstream, 768 Kbps upstream DSL to a 1.5 Mbps T1 MPLS connection and you've increased your corporate WAN bandwidth by 5x at that location. Add three of those 6 Mbps links and now you've got 12x more bandwidth at the site. Also, if you have DOCSIS 3.0 cable Internet access available, you can now get 100 Mbps downstream, 10 Mbps upstream for less than $400 a month. That's under $4 per Mbps per month. Using just one of these, together with two of those 6 Mbps ADSL connections, would give you more than 70x more bandwidth than a T1 MPLS-based location today – even if you were to disconnect the MPLS connection entirely – at a small fraction of the cost of what you're paying for MPLS connectivity today.

Increase WAN Reliability

Talari delivers increased WAN reliability and predictability by using multiple active, load-sharing connections between all locations. Our patented technology achieves end-to-end WAN reliability by aggregating private MPLS network and/or cost effective broadband links into an exponentially larger high performing network. By continuously monitoring each path for latency, jitter, loss and available bandwidth, Talari takes mitigating action based on these results by directing traffic to the optimal path. Talari acts to mitigate the effects of both link failure and packet loss thereby providing the highest quality and reliability possible. The result is an enterprise WAN with dynamic pathways and unprecedented resilience for the best possible reliability and performance.

Talari measures the characteristics of each path multiple times per second and builds a real-time map of the quality of each path within the network. It then performs sub-second path decisions on a per-packet basis, taking into account the collected data on that path, the class of traffic and the management polices established through configuration settings. Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology provides a level of network reliability and predictable application performance unavailable in standard networks and routing protocols. In addition to reacting more quickly (sub-second) to hard network or device failures, where routing protocols can sometimes require up to 30 seconds to react, APN also protects you from the performance problems that can occur dues to loss or congestion on the WAN. And while it is true that "network brownouts" rarely occur in the core of MPLS networks, they do occur with at least some frequency in international MPLS networks, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Talari's APN solution actually makes your WAN incredibly fault-tolerant, even to problems caused by a faulty software upgrade or misconfigured router on your own network.

With Talari, you can eliminate an expensive redundant MPLS network – substituting inexpensive Internet connections and APN's Resilient Multipath Connectivity for that second MPLS network. This new approach provides more reliability and application predictability, more usable bandwidth, as well as lower monthly WAN bills.

Improve Application Quality

Today's WANs are challenged with multiple high priority enterprise applications serving a highly distributed business environment. Between headquarter locations, acquired or merged companies, branch offices and other remote locations, it is not uncommon for a company to be supporting hundreds of locations with heavy enterprise applications that are highly network sensitive. If the offices find the enterprise applications unreliable or if performance if poor, the cost of lost productivity can be very high. IT organizations must be able to ensure high performance of these mission-critical applications to avoid worker and management frustrations.

In traditional network and WAN infrastructures, performance and management issues were addressed through network optimization and monitoring tools. But in today's business environment where IT must address reliability and performance in a highly distributed environment, more is needed to succeed. Through real-time and adaptive technologies such as those provided by Talari Networks, IT organizations can improve and optimize critical network and application performance ensuring the highest quality experience possible.

Some key applications sensitive to WAN performance that Talari can significantly impact include Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing and Virtual Desktop or screen sharing applications. Enterprise Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video conferencing are among the most challenging applications to run over a wide area network (WAN). End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) must be provided to ensure that whenever congestion occurs, Voice and video packets still get to where they need to go in real time. In addition, there needs to be sufficient bandwidth to support the appropriate number of concurrent video calls alongside other business applications on the network. Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology can increase bandwidth, support up to 10 classes of service which allows these real time application packets to be assigned the appropriate priority relative to email or file transfers and automatically pick the best path for the voice or video call (low loss, low jitter). Doubling private MPLS bandwidth just to enable videoconferencing is often simply not an option due to the high cost. Talari has a better solution to deliver MPLS quality at a fraction of the cost with greater reliability.

Build on WAN Optimization

WAN Optimization solutions free up bandwidth and accelerate applications to improve application performance over your existing WAN by reducing the amount of some network traffic. It can be beneficial for file transfers via mechanisms like CIFS termination, memory-based compression and disk-based de-duplication but only works within the limits of your existing network bandwidth and reliability. Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology can turbo-charge your WAN performance by delivering bandwidth aggregation and loss mitigation as well as bottleneck bandwidth management and inbound congestion avoidance to ensure fewer packet drops and mitigate congestion at critical last mile links. The two technologies are highly complimentary and customer deployments suggest that since Talari is able to quickly switch traffic away from a path observing sustained loss, using both Talari and WAN Optimization exponentially increases the benefits for application acceleration and WAN reliability.

On average, WAN Optimization customers experience a 2-4x benefit in terms of bandwidth consumed. By enabling the use of inexpensive Internet bandwidth without sacrificing business quality, Talari's APN technology delivers 30–100x the bandwidth / dollar for all applications – not just file transfers. In fact, many WAN optimization customers are looking for additional performance optimization capabilities and more than half of Talari's customers already have WAN Optimization technology deployed in their networks.

Talari allows enterprises to build networks with far greater bandwidth, far lower monthly cost, and greater reliability than a private MPLS or Frame Relay WAN. Further, Talari dramatically improves performance when the network is having issues with loss and jitter that would otherwise seriously harm application performance. Talari's technology effectively hides these issues from the WAN Optimization devices, enhancing the benefits of both solutions. By providing both additional bandwidth and application performance predictability, Talari helps applications such as VoIP, videoconferencing and Citrix/VDI, as well as the transfer of pre-compressed or encrypted files, for which WAN Optimization techniques can add little or no benefit. Talari APN can choose network paths with the least packet loss and lowest jitter for high-priority real-time or interactive traffic delivering value beyond what WAN Optimization can do.

Augmenting MPLS

MPLS boasts reliability, stability, fast recovery and more for a steep monthly cost – approximately 80-100X the average cost of broadband Internet service. As companies want to add bandwidth to their distributed sites, or provide backup links, they often balk at the cost of adding more MPLS lines. Talari Networks allow you to augment your MPLS network by transforming abundant, affordable broadband bandwidth with the four nines (99.99%) reliability expected from MPLS services.

Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology not only seamlessly integrates these new bandwidth sources with your current MPLS services but goes far beyond simple "bonding" to implement real-time, per packet traffic engineering. Our technology responds not just to full device or link failures, but delivers sub-second re-routing of critical application traffic in response to network congestion, including any unacceptable fluctuations in delay, loss, or jitter. Talari can help maximize your investment in MPLS and augment those same capabilities for a fraction of the cost at every remote site of your company with greater bandwidth and higher reliability.

Optimize for the Cloud

The dependence on cloud computing has made fast, high quality Internet access from every location within an enterprise critical to business operations, but providing direct Internet access from every office won't deliver the quality, reliability, or security that most enterprises require.

An ideal solution is to backhaul traffic for public Internet access from remote offices through one or more data centers. This allows a centralized application of policies, security, and firewalls. Plus is provides the highest quality network connection between each office and the data center as that traffic is carried over a high quality WAN. Talari's Adaptive Private Networking (APN) makes doing Internet backhaul less expensive, higher capacity and more scalable. And by removing most of the downsides to Internet backhaul such as high bandwidth costs, Talari allows those enterprises which to date have not done Internet backhaul to take advantage of its benefits.

Using Talari APN for Internet backhaul to existing data center facilities reduces the cost of bandwidth for the backhaul portions both at the data center and at the branch, making "paying twice" for bandwidth a lesser issue. Further, bandwidth at remote sites is now affordably scalable, for both Internet as well as Intranet application use. Talari can also cut the cost of providing high bandwidth connectivity between your headquarters and existing data centers and your colo-based servers. Using Talari APN, you can augment or replace expensive MPLS links with high speed public Internet links priced at a fraction of the cost / Mbps. Public Internet bandwidth costs as little as $5 - $10 per Mbps per month at most well-connected colo facilities – a 10x or more price/performance improvement over MPLS bandwidth. Talari combined with one or more colocation facilities is a powerful combination with substantial benefits for network design, reliability and efficiency to handle today's Cloud Computing environment.
