Talari Networks TM, Inc., a leading innovator in WAN reliability and application performance quality network appliances, has announced general availability of its Mercury T5000, the latest addition to the company’s line of Mercury WAN appliances.

The new Mercury T5000 delivers the best enterprise-grade WAN connectivity features to support the high capacity requirements of large data centers and call centers.

The T5000 also includes a significant software upgrade to Talari's patented and dynamic APN (Adaptive Private Networking) software, APNware 2.5, which supports the entire family of Mercury WAN Appliances. APNware 2.5 includes added capabilities designed to support enterprises with more locations/sites, with improved scalability and performance, especially for small packet applications such as VoIP, virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) and video conferencing.

“The T5000 is crafted for call centers that have the utmost requirements for reliability and performance. It offers the best resilience available to insulate applications from network outages, without call drops or user disruption, while avoiding and mitigating congestion, latency, jitter and loss, resulting in the highest possible user voice quality experience,” said Talari's VP of Engineering John Dickey.

The T5000 supports bandwidth aggregation up to 3.0 Gbps upstream/3.0 Gbps downstream across as many as eight WAN connections. It also acts as a control unit for all other Talari appliances, including the T510 for SOHO and small branch offices, and the T730, T750 and T3000 for large branch offices and corporate/main headquarters. It offers unparalleled performance and scalability for large data centers and call centers, supporting gigabits of WAN bandwidth across the union of private WAN links and public Internet connections for up to 128 branch connections.
