Talari Offers New SD-WAN Solution for Connecting Multiple Cloud Services

Talari Networks announced a new offering targeting the growing software-defined wide-area-network (SD-WAN) space, highlighting connectivity to multiple cloud services. Called Cloud Connect, the new product seeks to prevent carrier lock-in and simplify enterprise migrations to hybrid multi-cloud networks. Talari said Cloud Connect relieves the burden of those enterprises needing to implement and manage cloud infrastructure while providing them with high-quality and reliable service as they access Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and other cloud services such as Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), cloud service gateways, and managed Network as a Service (NaaS) offerings. This, the company said, is done through its high-availability connection service called Cloud Conduit, described as a failsafe multi-link, multipath connection between a customer location and Cloud Connect point of presence (POP). "As enterprises embrace hybrid IT and multi-cloud postures in pursuit of their digital-transformation objectives, they are compelled to overhaul their WAN architectures and management models to reliably, securely, and cost-effectively deliver the cloud-based applications and services that are becoming increasingly valuable to business outcomes," Talari quoted Brad Casemore, research vice president, Datacenter Networks at IDC, as saying.
