Computerlinks boosts vendor line-up

Computerlinks has added two more vendors to its virtualisation product portfolio, writes ChannelWeb.

Earlier this month, the distributor was recruiting vendors in order to assemble a product stack that provides partners with the tools needed to tackle server virtualisation projects.

At the time, the firm already had Citrix, the Virtual Machine Company and Akorri on its books, and has now signed exclusive UK distribution agreements with SteelEye and NetEx, too.

Talari Networks, a start-up based in California, raised $10 million in a second round of institutional funding for its enterprise WAN virtualisation technology, says Converge Digest.

Talari Networks' Adaptive Private Networking (APN) technology combines network bandwidth from the public Internet with Raid-like methods. It combines diverse sources of bandwidth and end-to-end algorithms to apply dynamic, real-time, per-packet traffic engineering.

By continually measuring loss, latency and jitter, APN adapts to variations in network conditions virtually instantly to ensure reliable, predictable application performance using all of the available bandwidth.

The company is also making a major run at virtualisation products to increase sophisticated telecommunications software and real-time communications, states Arizona Republic.

Mitel is the first company to offer voice applications for virtualisation of video conferencing and other communications.

Mitel offers unified communications software products, a segment that is growing at 15% a year, to manipulate voice, video, data and GPS information to determine where someone is.
