Talari Networks™ — the leader in transforming virtualized-WANs by
delivering the Internet economics and reliability of Adaptive Private
Networking (APN) — today announced that Magnum Semiconductor, a leading
provider of chips, software and platforms for consumer entertainment
systems, has installed APN at their global design centers to solve
bandwidth, network stability and cost issues.
With global operations that leverage research and development teams
around the world, Magnum found that MPLS, while stable, was simply too
expensive for all of their traffic. WAN optimization wasn't a suitable
solution because much of the traffic was highly compressed video files.
Adding connectivity over the Internet boosted bandwidth; but delivering
consistent application performance over parallel networks, of low
bandwidth MPLS and unreliable IPSec VPNs, was difficult to manage.
“We researched multiple network accelerator and optimization
alternatives. These solutions only seemed to help with application
delivery and did not offer what we needed for large file transfers, file
mirroring, syncing and backups,” said John Wunder, Director of IT for
Magnum Semiconductor. “Talari's Adaptive Private Networking gives me the
ability to leverage the Internet with more effectiveness. APN aggregates
my MPLS and Internet links, expanding the bandwidth capabilities at each
of my sites. That is pretty huge!”
Like many companies, Magnum uses Voice-over-IP (VoIP) for cost effective
site-to-site communication, but they couldn't take full advantage of the
QoS functions of MPLS because those links couldn't carry all of the
traffic between sites. “By deploying APN I got QoS 'for free' and didn't
need to build out any extra infrastructure,” stated Wunder. “In addition
aggregating MPLS with my primary Internet links has long term cost
savings. The additional ports of the Talari Networks Mercury T700 APN
Appliance will allow me to add lower cost primary links in the future.”
John Wunder will be speaking about Magnum Semiconductor's experience
with APN at the Network World IT Roadmap Conference & Expo in San
Francisco on December 10th 2009.
