On November 15, 2018, Oracle entered into an agreement to acquire Talari Networks, a leading provider of Software-Defined Wid ... e Area Network (SD-WAN) technology offering centralized control and improved application performance used for over 500 customers in over 40 countries. Talari’s proprietary Failsafe technology enhances the benefits of SD-WAN by adding greater reliability and predictability while maintaining security for site-to-site and site-to-cloud connectivity and application access over any IP network. The transaction has closed. Talari is the original innovator of failsafe SD-WANs that deliver both MPLS-class high availability and high QoE (Quality of Experience) predictable application performance for both TCP-based apps and real-time apps like VoIP and videoconferencing – whether built on a hybrid MPLS plus Internet WAN fabric, or a WAN comprised of only Internet connections. Talari technology delivers a multi-network WAN with 50 - 400 times more bandwidth per dollar, WAN cost reductions of 40% - 80%, and greater network reliability and superior application QoE than any single MPLS network. A Talari Failsafe SD-WAN enables Internet economics, dramatically reduces troubleshooting costs, and optimizes access for hybrid-cloud IT infrastructures and next-generation applications. read more
