WESTFORD, Mass., Feb. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Takeaways:
- Sonus expands its Cloud portfolio with its Cloud-optimized DSC
SWe, proving that putting SS7 and Diameter in the Cloud is not a
myth.
- Sonus' Cloud-optimized DSC SWe supports Diameter and SS7 STP on
the same virtual platform, allowing for an easy transition from
hardware-based signaling equipment to modernized NFV
architectures.
- The DSC SWe is orchestrateable using Dorado Software's Redcell
product suite, permitting service providers to centrally manage and
automate NFV-based solutions for Diameter and SS7.
Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in securing
Cloud and real-time communications, introduced today a
Cloud-optimized version of its Diameter Signaling Controller
Software edition (DSC SWe). The product seamlessly integrates with
Dorado Software's Redcell product suite, providing service
providers with a real-world solution to manage, activate, and
orchestrate the DSC SWe in the Cloud.
The DSC SWe shares a common management and provisioning
interface with the hardware-based DSC 8000. With this announcement,
service providers have an easy-to-deploy solution that provides a
logical path from hardware to virtualization, and now to the Cloud.
Like the DSC 8000 and DSC SWe before it, the Cloud-optimized DSC
SWe provides signaling for both Diameter and SS7 STP deployments,
enabling an easy transition from hardware-based signaling equipment
to modernized network function virtualization (NFV)
architectures.
As service providers move to architectures with joined network
environments of legacy and virtual devices, Sonus continues to work
with market-leading orchestration vendors, such as Dorado Software,
to supply integrated solutions to customers. The Redcell product
suite provides a single, seamless management, automation and
service orchestration layer that simplifies network management and
accelerates service deployment in these networks. By deploying the
Cloud-optimized DSC SWe in the Redcell product suite, service
providers have a tested best-of-breed solution for signaling
control in the Cloud.
Quotes:
"Extending Sonus' VNF suite in our partner ecosystem improves
our value proposition for service providers, many of whom have
deployed or are looking to deploy virtual SBCs or DSCs in their
network," said Chris Simon, vice president, Service Providers
and NFV Business Unit, Dorado Software. "Our shared commitment to
open standards, like ETSI NFV and OPNFV, and joint involvement with
solutions, such as Juniper Networks' Contrail Cloud platform, Dell
EMC and Red Hat's NFV platform, mean that service providers can
deploy joint Sonus/Dorado solutions without fear of broader
integration issues in the future."
"Service providers are looking to the Cloud to capitalize on its
elastic nature, flexibility and additional licensing options, but
need the proper solutions to do so," said Bill Welch, senior product manager, Signaling
Solutions, Sonus. "Sonus now provides an optimized solution to
handle signaling in the Cloud and, with Dorado, delivers a tested
orchestration environment to activate and manage these services
into the Cloud."
