Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in secure
and intelligent Cloud communications, today introduced enhancements
to its comprehensive Cloud solution with Cloud-optimized versions
of its PSX and EMS, a microservices architecture for the SBC SWe
and innovative integrated analytics. With these new capabilities,
Sonus dispels common competitive Cloud myths and provides customers
with a real-world solution that is optimized for the Cloud.
Comprehensive Approach to Cloud Communications
With a Cloud-optimized SBC, PSX and EMS, service providers can
instantiate virtual policy and routing control as well as virtual
session management in a tested Sonus NFV Orchestration Partner
environment. In addition, Sonus delivers solutions for geographic
redundancy, high availability and load balancing across multiple
virtual network functions (VNFs) in a cluster, providing robust
solution reliability.
Microservices Architecture Maximizes the Benefits of the
Cloud
By taking advantage of its SBC's fundamental design, Sonus has
separated signaling, media processing and transcoding into
individual components. As customers migrate RTC to the Cloud,
Sonus' architecture enables independent orchestration and scaling
of each SBC microservice based on network traffic. Unlike solutions
which only provide redundancy for signaling, Sonus' microservices
architecture is truly redundant, delivering high availability for
all three microservices.
Integrated Analytics Enhances Solution Management
With this release, Sonus supplies an embedded data agent in each
VNF instance that communicates traffic and utilization information
to an integrated data warehouse and analytics solution. This
integration enables automatic on-demand VNF management, optimizes
resource utilization at the microservices level, and provides
advanced monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
Quotes:
"There are vendors promoting myths when it
comes to real-time communications, claiming that since their
products are virtualized, they work seamlessly in the Cloud," said
Kevin Riley, Sonus CTO and SVP,
Engineering and Operations. "Sonus focuses on addressing the
practical realities of deploying Cloud-optimized products. We
architected a robust solution that runs seamlessly in the Cloud and
delivers scale, reliability and feature capability on par with our
hardware-based offers. Unlike our competitors, Sonus provides
customers with a complete, real-world solution, making real-time
communications in the Cloud a reality."
"Our research indicates that layer 4-7 services are prime
candidates to be converted to virtual network functions (VNFs) in
carrier networks," said Scott Raynovich, VP of Research and
Analysis, SDxCentral. "Sonus has done a great job architecting
its Cloud-optimized solutions, helping carriers to quickly
provision and scale new services, accelerating their move to the
Cloud."
