Talari Networks was founded in 2007 with a goal of helping enterprises build better Wide Area Networks (WANs).
Talari has been in business for over 7 years so it has been market tested and is now enterprise ready
HQ in San Jose and R&D in Raleigh NC
Currently experiencing rapid growth with an ever increasing number of raving fan customers.
Talari is addressing 4 key trends in enterprise WANs:
More bandwidth – driven by increased use of applications to enhance business productivity and competitiveness
Improved reliability – downtime has significant direct negative impact on business
Better quality – network issues like packet loss, latency and jitter negatively impact application performance
Lower cost– all businesses are focused on achieving goals at lowest cost possible
All businesses are different but lets look at a typical WAN before Talari.
Showing 3 remote offices on right. Could just as easily be dozens or even hundreds of remote offices
Data Center on left could be multiple data centers.
Most WANs today rely on MPLS network
It is common to have a broadband backup. This might be used only as backup or can be used for internet traffic.
Three problems with this approach:
MPLS is very expensive and it is often prohibitively expensive to add more MPLS to keep up with increasing demand for more bandwidth.
Failovers are rarely graceful and usually take seconds or even minutes or more and outages cause business disruption
Even though MPLS is considered to have good quality it still experiences packet loss, latency and jitter which cause problems for applications on WAN
To take advantage of Talari, a Talari appliance is introduced at each location. Can be a subset of total locations at first then add over time.
Appliances sit on the LAN side of the access routers as an overlay so there is no disruption in the network. The network access links are plugged into the Talari appliance.
The backup link now becomes active so there are 2 active links rather than just one.
Based on incoming application traffic flow and rules set in advance by the enterprise, Talari steers each individual packet to the appropriate network link utilizing both networks.
Key to the effectiveness of the Talari solution is that the sending Talari appliance puts a small envelope on every packet and the receiving Talari appliance inspects the envelop learn about the quality of the path including packet loss, latency, and jitter. This very accurate real time information about the quality of each individual link is then shared among the Talari appliances.
Use case examples:
High priority latency sensitive traffic get the highest priority and lower priority traffic will never get transmitted ahead of higher priority traffic. If there is any quality degradation Talari can steer around problems on a sub second basis so that the application is not affected.
Lower priority traffic like large file transfers and back up storage routines use all available bandwidth including the large broadband pipe that was previously underutilized.
Some traffic (usually low bandwidth but latency sensitive) like voice and VDI can be duplicated and sent over both links. There is a race to get to the other side and the packet that wins gets used and the packet that arrives second is discarded. In this way, the same packet would have to be lost on both networks or packet loss goes effectively to zero. Latency is the fastest network and jitter is reduced.
Since broadband is so inexpensive, many customers choose to add a second broadband link which further increases network capacity and reliability. Businesses can also aggregate multiple links to achieve the highest possible effective throughput.
With two 50Mbps broadband links, Talari can aggregate the links to provide up to 100Mbps effective throughput
The logical extension of this for many customers is to eventually eliminate the high cost MPLS links when the contact is up and go with two or three broadband connections.
Lets review the 4 key trends that we talked about before:
More bandwidth. Check – dramatically higher total bandwidth with multiple broadband links
Increased reliability. Check – three networks would all have to be down at the same time for the WAN to go down
Better quality. Check – Talari steers around any quality problems giving the best quality possible
Lower cost. Check – the total cost of the 3 broadband links are substantially lower than even a single MPLS link
Talari is equally happy to manage dual MPLS or any other kind of network access if that is what the customer wants.
Aware is a software only solution that runs on a virtual machine in the customers data center and is accessed thru a web browser.
It communicates with the Talari appliances pushing information out to the Talari appliances and receiving information back from the Talari appliances.
APN Aware is a next generation Talari management platform that makes it easier to install and configure a new Talari appliance.
What is more exciting is that APN Aware also pulls information about the quality of every link in every location from the appliances on a near real-time basis.
Aware then offers a set of tools including charts and graphs to turn the raw data into very useful information
Used for capacity planning and network vendor management. Powerful information about the quality of every network link in every location.
Talari has raving customer fans in a large number of vertical markets.
