Talari completes ONUG’s First Testing Program

Talari Networks has announced the successful completion of ONUG’s first testing program to validate market solutions against key IT requirements from the Open Networking User Group (ONUG) Conference at Columbia University. The ONUG use case validation testing is a landmark event in the networking industry, signaling the first time commercial solutions are being tested against requirements outlined by the ONUG Working Groups. This extensive, 3-month long testing process was conducted by Ixia in conjunction with ONUG.

The ONUG tests aim to provide proof of concepts, feature validation and demonstrations to ensure that the networking solutions in the network overlays, SD-WAN and network services virtualization areas deliver on the top ten requirements developed by the ONUG Working Groups.

“We were delighted to have Talari on board with ONUG this spring. These tests underscore our commitment to the ONUG Community of IT executives and vendors to validate product features that meet IT business leader requirements for enterprise cloud infrastructure,” said Nick Lippis, Chairman and Co-Founder of ONUG. “We are confident that this testing effort with partners such as Talari will assist in moving the open infrastructure industry from technology curiosity to operations.”

Talari successfully demonstrated SD-WAN requirements 1 through 8 using Talari’s Adaptive Private Networking (APN) operating software and the Talari Appliances T3010, T510 and Virtual Appliance T500. The following important criteria were successfully demonstrated during the verification test:
· The ability to direct traffic across Hybrid WANs according to company policy and application type;
· Ability to detect a link failure and move traffic to remaining links;
· Ability to apply prioritization policies to specific applications under congestion caused by link failure;
· Line, flow and application-level dashboards; and
· Network consisting of a Talari physical appliance and a Talari virtual appliance.

“We were glad to participate in ONUG’s first testing program and we’re particularly proud that we were able to demonstrate almost instantaneous detection of the failed link and shift traffic to the remaining links with no loss, no out of order packets and virtually no jitter,” said Talari’s CTO & Co-founder John Dickey. ”The test conditions realistically mirrored those of our many customers who run hybrid WANs with a mix of applications and we were able to publicly demonstrate the functionality our customers take advantage of every day. With Talari, they have a THINKING WAN that adapts itself to changing conditions without any impact to end users and application performance, even in the face of failed or degraded network links.”
