A rock-solid network is critical for smooth business operations, and for many years, Dayton Superior operated an MPLS network with primary and secondary T1 circuits to each site and data centers in Cincinnati and Dayton, OH. However, the backup WAN connections were only used when the primary circuit failed, which meant that for the vast majority of the time, the company was paying for a costly resource it wasn’t actively using.

Using Talari has allowed Dayton Superior to build a more flexible, cost-effective WAN that leverages both MPLS and broadband Internet. IT can take advantage of broadband’s lower cost without worrying about reliability.


“Our initial pain point was redundancy, but Talari allows us to leverage broadband Internet connections with reliability that’s better than with our MPLS circuits.” 

- Dave Badgley, Senior Network Engineer


Now Dayton Superior not only has insurance against link failures, but also has more usable capacity to run the business.

Having a THINKING WAN from Talari gives Dayton Superior greater flexibility in choosing service providers, too. “We moved from one service provider to another without having to be onsite. The change was transparent,” he says. Installing Talari was easy too. When setting up a new site, Badgley configures the appliances and ships them out, where they can be installed by a coworker with minimal technical skills.
