Talari Networks
announced that it received a “Recommended” Rating from NSS Labs in its
first-ever Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Group Test.
NSS Labs, Inc. is a global leader and trusted source for independent, fact-based
cybersecurity guidance. In this groundbreaking, inaugural test, nine of the
industry’s leading SD-WAN products were examined to help enterprises understand
the merits of products in the market and identify the capabilities best suited to
meet their use case requirements.
Talari’s SD-WAN offering was one of only three out of nine products tested to
receive the coveted ‘Recommended’ rating. The NSS Labs tests covered key areas
of differentiation for SD-WAN products on Quality of Experience (QoE) for VoIP, QoE
for video and network performance.
The NSS Labs SD-WAN Group test provides the most comprehensive independent technical
research available of SD-WAN products on the market today and is based upon hundreds
of hours of rigorous testing. NSS Labs is committed to providing empirical data and
objective group test results that enable organisations to make educated decisions
about purchasing and optimising security infrastructure products and services. As
with all NSS Labs group tests, there is no fee for participation and the test
methodology is available in the public domain to provide transparency and to help
enterprises understand the factors behind test results.
Failsafe SD-WAN technology that delivers MPLS-class high availability and QoE for
enterprise WANs using Internet connections to augment and/or replace their low
bandwidth, expensive MPLS circuits is critical for enterprises seeking to adopt
SD-WANs for the various benefits they deliver without sacrificing uptime or
performance predictability for both interactive and real-time applications.
“The SD-WAN market holds strong potential and there are several impressive
technologies available today for companies seeking to enhance or replace traditional
WAN deployments,” said Jason Brvenik, Chief Technology Officer at NSS Labs. “The
NSS Labs 2018 SD-WAN Group Test is the industry’s first baseline assessment of
these technologies. Our testing validates that this is a technology that is ready
for prime time.”
