`
`Last week Talari was recognized for excellence in SDN (http://www.nfvzone.com/topics/newsfeed/articles/400677winnersthe2015sdnexcellenceaward
`announced.htm). More specifically, Talari Aware (http://www.talari.com/products/aware.php) was called out for advancing SDN technology and demonstrating leadership
`within the technology. We’re excited to be recognized in this way, and I wanted to share with our community some of the reasons why Talari Aware was cited.
`
`SDN has brought virtualization to the network, creating networks that are more responsive and agile. SDWAN solutions (http://www.talari.com/solutions/) such as Talari
`are extending the architecture and goals of SDN into the WAN space, creating a virtual overlay network on WAN connections that is abstracted from the underlying
`physical network. This gives applications that are using the WAN a reliable, highquality connection that is isolated from underlying network issues such as outages or
`intermittent loss or high latency.
`
`But the decoupling of virtual from physical brings a unique set of challenges when it comes to monitoring the network and reporting on application performance and quality.
`After all, the measurement of any one link is irrelevant in a architecture where a single session can be on multiple links simultaneously and can move many times as the
`underlying physical network changes state.
`
`Talari Aware brings a unique approach to managing the problem by providing three levels of data collection, analysis and reporting:
`
`Physical Layer – Talari measure the loss, latency, jitter, availability and congestion of every path in the WAN with every packet that traverses the WAN. This creates an
`extremely detailed repository of network information based on ACTUAL application data – not probe data, not occasional test data and not round trip ping times.

`Virtual Layer – The applications use the virtual WAN connections, which may be composed of multiple changing physical links. Talari captures information about the
`virtual links themselves, including the aggregate quality, congestion and performance. It also tracks which applications are using the links and what the overall traffic
`patterns are.
`
`Application Layer – Because the only true test of the network is how applications performance across it, Talari Aware also collects information on the application layer. It
`measures the quality that each session receives across the WAN, using common scoring methods such as MOS for voice traffic. This allow IT manager and business
`units to see how a specific application performed across the WAN and helps isolate problems. This is particularly important when the application is hosted in a cloud data
`center or offered via SaaS. Because IT has little control over the applications themselves, they can use Talari Aware to validate that performance issues were or were not
`a consequence of the cloud access network itself.
`
`This ability to collect information from each layer and present it in clear, aggregated and correlated views is necessary to understand how the software defined network is
`performing at every level and will be key to the larger acceptance of virtual network architectures.
