Oracle Acquires Talari, Why SD-WAN and Why Talari?

Oracle had to get its feet into the SD-WAN market and they are not the last cloud company to do so. Question is, did they make the right choice with respect to the acquisition target. Financially Talari was probably a good deal. Technically, I’m not sure.
I have a feeling this is not the last move Oracle will be required to do in order to reach a strong position in this market.

SD-WAN DIY, Moving Away from the Cookie Cutter Model

SD-WAN DIY, Moving Away from the Cookie Cutter Model

The closeness of SD-WAN becomes a real issue for service providers due to their inability to differentiate and the growing competition coming from the same vendors they are reselling. Enterprises are also realizing the risk embedded in the one vendor to rule their network approach of SD-WAN and their inability to adjust the SD-WAN based network to their needs.

Cisco Adds Another Piece to its Enterprise IT Puzzle

Although Cisco has a very strong position in the UC market, its strengths are mainly in UC of the past (on-premises deployments and telephony focused).
The acquisition of Broadsoft will help Cisco to better compete in the next generation cloud UC and team collaboration.
Overall a strong move of Cisco to help it compete with its rivals such as Microsoft and Slack.

The On premise vs. Managed Decision for Your WebRTC Service is Not Just About Cost

The On premise vs. Managed Decision for Your WebRTC Service is Not Just About Cost

There is no one good answer for the debate between on premise vs. managed and each of these options have sub-options to consider and decide on. The devil is in the details and in many cases a hybrid solution is required, using some functions (such as NAT traversal) from 3rd party hosted services while licensing (open source or commercial) other components of the solution.

Hold On with the Apple WebRTC in iOS Party

Hold On with the Apple WebRTC in iOS Party

The official adoption of WebRTC by Apple is great news. As always, the devil is in the details. Before starting the party let’s see Apple’s approach to WebRTC, first and foremost not making it part of their walled garden and second in areas related to interoperability related to APIs, ORTC vs. WebRTC 1.0, codecs support and HW acceleration.
