LAS VEGAS, May 18 /PRNewswire/ --

- Affordable SOHO appliance expands Talari's revolutionary, RAID-like 
approach to lowering WAN costs while increasing bandwidth and reliability

Interop 2009 - Talari Networks(TM) -- the leader in transforming
virtualized-WANs by delivering the Internet economics and reliability of
Adaptive Private Networking -- announced here today the addition of the
Mercury T200 appliance to its revolutionary Adaptive Private Networking (APN)
solution. APN gives enterprise WAN customers 30 to 100 times the bandwidth
per dollar, reduces monthly WAN service costs by 40% to 90%, and offers
greater reliability than existing private WANs that use single-provider Frame
Relay or MPLS services.

Talari unveils the Mercury T200 this week at Interop 2009 Las Vegas.
Designed especially to bring the reliability and bandwidth of Adaptive
Private Networking to small office / home office environments typically
served today by IPsec VPNs, the new fanless, table-top T200 APN appliance
affordably delivers up to 15 megabits per second across a pair of WAN
connections, complementing Talari's higher-capacity, rack-mountable Mercury
T700 and T3000 models.

"Adaptive Private Networking's unique ability to substantially lower IT
operating costs without sacrificing reliability offers truly compelling ROI
in today's difficult business climate," said industry analyst Dr. Jim Metzler
of Ashton, Metzler & Associates. "With its APN solutions, Talari Networks is
bringing Internet economics to business-quality WANs."

A powerful complement to WAN optimization solutions

A Talari APN solution -- typically comprised of a high-end Mercury T3000
appliance at the data center or HQ location, T700 appliances at branch
offices, and T200s in small office / home office locations -- works well
with, and in fact complements, WAN optimization solutions, which excel at
things like disk-based compression and accelerating Microsoft's CIFS
protocol.

"WAN Optimization solutions from vendors such as Riverbed, Blue Coat, and
Juniper have proven themselves capable of increasing performance for specific
Enterprise applications, and in fact most of our early customers have WAN
Optimization deployed," said Andrew Gottlieb, founder and CEO of Talari
Networks. "By enabling Enterprises to add bandwidth, reliability, and
application predictability for all applications, including real-time
applications, Adaptive Private Networking is the perfect answer to the
question 'what do we do next to improve application delivery' for these
customers."

Adaptive Private Networking allows enterprises to leverage inexpensive
broadband services such as DSL or cable at their remote locations at monthly
costs of just US$3 to US$15 per megabit, to augment and/or eventually replace
Frame Relay and MPLS WANs costing US$450 to US$1500 per megabit per month,
increasing their branch-office and SOHO bandwidth while lowering their costs
and providing superior network reliability and application predictability.

Adaptive Private Networking technology

Adaptive Private Networking (APN) leverages standard VPN technology for
secure data delivery and uses end-to-end algorithms for dynamic, real-time,
per-packet traffic engineering. It continuously measures loss, latency, and
jitter and adapts network traffic flow almost instantly, delivering reliable
and predictable application performance leveraging all available bandwidth
sources. APN solves the reliability problems often associated with running
VoIP and video-conferencing on shared IP WANs, and it can be added seamlessly
to existing networks.

Pricing and availability

The Talari Networks Mercury T200 will be available in July, with a
suggested list price of US$3,995.
