Reduce WAN & IT Costs

Monthly WAN operating costs are one of the biggest expenses in any IT manager's budget; other than employee costs, it's frequently the single largest item. WAN Virtualization is a powerful solution that enables you to reduce monthly WAN costs by 40% to 90% while simultaneously adding network bandwidth and improving both network reliability and application performance predictability. And if that 90% overall figure might usually apply only for certain high-cost international locations, overall savings of 60% to 75% are quite easy to attain.

There are many ways to reduce IT costs by using Talari’s Adaptive Private Networking (APN) WAN Virtualization technology. Initially, you can eliminate any expensive redundant MPLS or Frame Relay backup connections and/or ISDN connections.

When you're comfortable with APN using a mixture of your existing private WAN bandwidth together with Internet connections, you can reduce the amount of private WAN bandwidth purchased at any given location, say reducing a 2 x E1 MPLS connection to a 1 x E1 connection, or reducing the amount of Frame Relay CIR bandwidth or MPLS QoS bandwidth at a location.

Of course, the maximum IT cost savings can be attained by eliminating those expensive private WAN connections altogether and using multiple Internet connections from at least two different service providers. In this way a U.S.-based 1.5 Mbps MPLS connection costing $600 to $1200 per month can be replaced with 2+ WAN links costing somewhere between $100 and $200 a month, for a WAN cost saving at that location of 60% to 85% per month, while at the same time probably getting 4-10 times the downstream bandwidth. Using diverse Internet connections where available to replace a 2 Mbps E1 - which at some international locations can cost as much as $5,000 per month - can provide IT cost savings of more than 90% a month and pay for the costs of the APN deployment in just a few months.
