Bigleaf and Telarus Announce Channel Partnership

Value Added Distributor's Clients Now Have Access to Bigleaf's Cloud Optimization Services


PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Feb 9, 2016) - Bigleaf Networks, the intelligent networking service that optimizes Internet and cloud performance by dynamically choosing the best connection based on real-time usage and diagnostics, today announced a new channel partnership with Salt Lake City-based Telarus, a premier value added distributor of network, unified communications (UC), and cloud services. The partnership provides Telarus' nationwide network of sales partners access to Bigleaf's patent-pending technology, which improves the performance of VoIP services and cloud-based applications via intelligent load-sharing across multiple Internet connections.

"Bigleaf is a strong addition to our family of suppliers. Our partners are excited to deliver intelligent networking services and to use VXSuite to monitor the performance of the entire ecosystem," said Patrick Oborn, Telarus co-founder. "This is a conversation changer for our partners."

Bigleaf's plug-and-play managed service offering includes:

  • Intelligent load-balancing across multiple Internet paths from different ISPs
  • Quality-of-Service (QoS) capability to prioritize VoIP and other latency-sensitive traffic over commodity Internet
  • Same IP failover capability to allow for uninterrupted VoIP and virtual desktop sessions while moving between circuits
  • Real-time intelligence on circuit latency, packet loss, jitter and throughput

"Working with a top-tier, national distributor like Telarus significantly broadens the reach of our offering," said John Hogan, VP of Partner Sales and Business Development at Bigleaf. "Our optimization service is a perfect addition for any telecom agent or IT consultant looking to provide a more stable platform for the migration of their customers' critical applications to a cloud-based architecture. By welcoming us into its portfolio, Telarus gives us immediate access to a new network of "right-fit" sales partners, and sets the table for a unique blend of cloud, network and stability-enhancing services for their partners and customers."

Bigleaf's patent-pending service uses software-defined networking (SDN) technology on preconfigured routers over a distributed architecture. The two components -- a premise-based router at a customer's site and one instance in the cloud -- work together to provide load balancing across multiple Internet paths from different Internet service providers.
