Talari
Networks, the trusted SD-WAN technology innovator, announced that
Marco has attained Gold partner status in the Talari SMART Partner
Program, significantly expanding its portfolio and capabilities to
comprehensively cover the high-growth market opportunity in
software-defined networking that is rapidly shifting to the last-mile
edge.
Enterprises
and organizations with multiple remote locations are looking to alter
their WAN architectures in support of new digital business initiatives
and adoption of public cloud services, which are forecasted to grow 86
percent between 2014 and 2018, according to Gartner. Network
administrators are duly questioning the price, performance and
flexibility of traditional WANs, which are exacerbated by the
proliferation of public cloud applications requiring optimal WAN-path
selection.
"Marco
utilizes Talari to implement intelligent software-defined networks by
combining their industry leading SD-WAN solutions and our service
provider infrastructure, which provides clients the security,
performance and redundancy they have been demanding for years. We chose
an industry veteran with a proven track record that provides flexible
support, consumption and deployment methodologies to satisfy a wide
range of client networking demands," said Matt Kanaskie, Product Manager
at Marco.
A
Talari Networks SD-WAN solution from Marco delivers a comprehensive
offering that supports a variety of network services in physical,
virtual and cloud locations, and can be acquired through perpetual
licensing, monthly subscription rates or as-a-service.
"Talari
is thrilled to collaborate with Marco in delivering innovative SD-WAN
solutions to Marco customers," said George Just, vice president of
sales, Talari. "As enterprises continue to adopt SD-WAN solutions, we're
confident that our partnership with Marco will drive growth for both
companies, while ensuring customer success for the IT organizations we
serve."
The
Talari SMART Partner Program is designed to empower participating
partners, such as Marco, with the resources and support they need to
realize sizable revenue opportunities selling Talari solutions. As a
