Talari Networks, on Thursday, announced launching APN (Adaptive Private Networking) Aware, a software-based centralized monitoring application that supports Talari's family of WAN appliances. Aware gives IT teams a holistic and unified view of real-time status and historical reporting on the quality of every individual link on a Wide Area Network (WAN).

"A key benefit to Aware is we allow our customers to understand the behavior of the links they are purchasing from service providers. Rather than trust the SLAs, they can actually see the performance of every link, including uptime, latency, jitter and loss in each direction — critical information they can use to determine the effectiveness of their investments with different service providers, and in some cases empower them to renegotiate contracts or enforce SLAs with their providers", said Talari's President and CEO Emerick Woods. "In an environment where IT is asked to justify every dollar spent, Aware gives them the information they need at a level of unmatched granularity".

“When you’re running a business, success depends on every facet of a company operating at peak performance, and these days business performance is predicated on systems performance,” said Peter Christy, Research Director, Networks, 451 Research. “Talari’s APN Aware helps ensure this performance by providing a detailed view of the wide area network and the applications running on it. This insight includes a window into what matters most to each IT team member, whether looking at application performance, virtual networking or physical infrastructure”.
