Details
128 Technology, the leader in Session Smart routing, and
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading vendor of advanced voice
networking and media processing solutions for the digital
workplace, today announced the introduction of an integrated SD-WAN
solution to support business voice, video and data needs. The joint
solution features multiple WAN access interfaces, dynamic
multi-path routing, session border controllers (SBC), and VoIP
media gateways, all on a single AudioCodes Mediant 800 platform.
Targeted for global enterprises, medium and small businesses and
service providers, it enables secured and cost-effective
branch-to-branch, branch-to-data center and edge-to-cloud
connection, as well as unified communications (UC) service
delivery, all in a single integrated appliance.
The 128 Technology solution combines session-awareness,
service-centric segmentation, waypoint routing and metadata to
provide a tunnel-free SD-WAN solution. This reduces bandwidth usage
by 30-50%, leading to lower connectivity costs, lower congestion,
improved application performance and improved throughput. The
tunnel-free solution removes the need for hub-and-spoke
architectures that cause unnecessary latency, and enables
sub-second failovers between underlying WAN interfaces.
AudioCodes' integrated SBC facilitates smooth and hassle-free
interoperability between local IP-PBXs (such as Microsoft Skype for
Business Server, Cisco, Avaya, NEC and many more) and service
provider networks, including certified Direct Routing SBC
connectivity with Microsoft Teams. Additionally, the Mediant 800
features a variety of WAN interfaces (T1, xDSL, Ethernet, fiber and
4G/LTE), as well as multiple PSTN interfaces (FXS, BRI and PRI) and
multiple LAN ports with optional PoE. This unique solution gives
service providers a versatile product for multiple customer
configurations, eliminating the need for multiple boxes on customer
premises.
AudioCodes' One Voice Operations Center (OVOC), a voice network
management solution that combines management of voice network
devices and quality of experience monitoring into a single,
intuitive web-based application, was adapted to integrate 128
Technology's Conductor. The Conductor is an authority-wide
orchestration and automation service, providing topology, policy
management, centralized visibility and an analytics engine. By
making all this information available in a single pane of glass,
the end customer has an advanced management tool for both data and
voice services.
"Partnering with AudioCodes helps us bring our SD-WAN solution
to a wider enterprise and cloud service provider market due to its
wide range of voice and data networking products," said
Andy Ory, CEO at 128 Technology.
"The complex demands of today's IP-based communication systems have
increased the importance of strong alliances between vendors
offering complementary solutions. It's critical that a company's
networks operate efficiently and securely while minimizing
additional costs, and that's what our partnership is designed to
achieve."
"As a worldwide market leader in enabling UC for both
enterprises and service providers, the need for reliable and secure
UC delivery from private and public clouds over broadband internet
connections becomes more and more evident to us," said Lior Aldema,
EVP and Chief Business Officer at AudioCodes. "We are happy to
partner with 128 Technologies to bring a uniquely efficient SD-WAN
solution which, in conjunction with our Mediant 800, provides an
all-in-one appliance that satisfies all the communication needs of
a typical branch office or small business."
