Tech Data (News - Alert) is uniquely positioned to help partners further grow their business by enabling them to provide customers with cutting-edge networking solutions such as SD-WAN. Tech Data distributes networking and cloud solutions in more than 100 countries in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Americas.

"Next-generation networking technologies like SD-WAN are extremely important to our global partners' success in terms of accelerating the potential for recurring revenue streams," said Cheryl Neal, vice president, Data and Networking Solutions at Tech Data. "By adding Talari to our portfolio, our partners will be able to develop additional expertise and scalable market coverage for software-defined networking (SDN) customer initiatives."

Adding Talari SD-WAN offerings to the Tech Data portfolio makes it possible for partners to engage dedicated networking specialists from Talari and Tech Data to provide the channel with in-depth expertise and integration knowledge of complementary technology market segments, includig cloud services, data center infrastructure and network security. According to Gartner (News - Alert), by 2020 more than 50 percent of WAN-edge infrastructure refresh initiatives will be based on SD-WAN versus traditional routers (up from less than 2 percent today).



"Tech Data has a strong track record of delivering superior solutions that target growth markets like SD-WAN, so that partners can benefit from collaborative profit-discovery opportunities, while also streamlining development and delivery of solutions that span vendor silos," said Atchison Frazer, head of WW marketing, Talari. "Our mutual partners will be able to rely on Tech Data's experienced team to provide innovative software-defined networking solutions that address our customers' most critical digital transformation goals."

Talari, with 400 customers and more than 8,000 SD-WAN endpoints, is differentiated in the market by its continuous per-packet, unidirectional performance analytics that factor in packet loss, latency, jitter and bandwidth between all paths and aggregated links (compared to conventional session-level steering only or round-trip measurement with no latency visibility). Talari uniquely enables adaptive, deterministic per-packet optimal WAN-path, parsed in sub-second responses, to degrading network issues such as link or device failures and/or congestion-based disruption or outages, while allowing for the replication of flows and packets across disparate links, which is especially important to high availability of real-time apps like VoIP or UCaaS requiring superior Quality of Experience (QoE) standards.
