Talari Helps Real Estate Firm See Real Bandwidth Benefits

Talari Networks is helping Equity Office, a real-estate management company, based in Chicago and with 40 satellite offices, manage its new WAN connection. Poor peak-time performance on its MPLS WAN connection prompted the company to draw together DSL, cable, Ethernet and fibre into one logical network. Talari enables each of these links to compensate performance in incidents when one of these links goes down.

Taking into account all set-up costs, including the purchase of Talari boxes, Equity Office's director of voice-data communications, Chavdar Momchev predicts a 10-month return on investment for the switch-over, and believes the new WAN will halve the organisation’s current costs.

The headquarters of Equity Office contains the main data centre, while an active disaster-recovery data centre is located in Wisconsin. Prior to the installation of Talari, offices were connected to a Verizon Business MPLS service by at least a T-1. In addition, a limited number of offices (larger ones) had either two or three T-1s.
