WESTFORD, Mass. – Sonus Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONS, news, filings), a global leader in SIP communications, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named the Sonus SBC SWe a 2014 Excellence in SDN Award winner presented by TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine and SDN Zone. The SBC SWe received this award based on its leadership in the SDN technology domain.
SDN architecture has already had a profound impact on the IT and telecom industries and, as this technology continues to grow in popularity, the Excellence in SDN Awards recognizes the companies that are leading the way in SDN architecture and applications.
The SBC SWe is feature equivalent to Sonus’ hardware-based SBC 5000 platform. The difference between the Sonus SBC SWe and the Sonus SBC 5000 Series is how customers choose to deploy it: on industry-standard servers or in virtualized environments. Scalable from as few as 25 and architected to provide an unlimited number of sessions, the user-defined scope of the SBC SWe means Sonus customers can now choose the best deployment for their needs. Sonus will provide customers with a set of performance specifications for its customers’ host platforms so they can decide on the best deployment model. With a software based model, customers can now rapidly expand capacity, calls per second, features, transcoding and security capabilities with a simple license key as business demands change.
Sonus is the only vendor with the same hardened codebase across its hardware and software SBC portfolio, giving customers complete investment protection and peace of mind when securing real-time communications across their network. By leveraging the same codebase and management interfaces, customers can seamlessly add the SBC SWe to networks with existing Sonus hardware-based infrastructure. For customers leveraging new and existing platforms to support network functions virtualization (NFV) functionality, the SBC SWe will allow customers to deploy a fully featured SBC co-resident with other applications.
