network-wide licensing model solutions help ensure that LogMeIn can
seamlessly manage unprecedented demand for its UCC solutions due to
dramatic increase in number of remote workers
WESTFORD, Massachusetts,
April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider
of real time communications software and network solutions to
service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure
sectors, today announced that LogMeIn (Nasdaq: LOGM), a
market leader in remote work, including solutions for unified
communications and collaboration (UCC), identity and access
management, and customer engagement and support, is leveraging key
solutions from Ribbon's comprehensive cloud and edge software
portfolio to help meet increased network traffic demands.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations
are increasingly turning to LogMeIn's popular
UCC portfolio, including products like
GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar, to support their remote
workforces. Ribbon's market-leading Session Border Controller (SBC)
7000, Policy and Routing Solution (PSX), C3 Call Session
Controller, and G9 Media Gateway all support LogMeIn's advanced
Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) and Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) operations for the company's UCC products.
In addition, LogMeIn is taking advantage of Ribbon's Network-Wide
License (NWL) model with burst licensing to enable greater
flexibility to meet dynamically changing network capacity demands.
"We have experienced unprecedented growth in the usage of our
unified communications and collaboration products over the past
month due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the seismic shift in the
number of employees working from home," said Ian Pitt, CIO at LogMeIn. "By leveraging
Ribbon's carrier-grade, highly scalable solutions and the flexible
Network-Wide Licensing model with burst licensing, we are well
prepared to seamlessly scale with the demand. Ribbon's solutions
have been very stable under the increased load, which has allowed
us to continue to provide the quality and reliability our customers
expect. We will be looking to deploy additional Ribbon resources as
we continue to expand and grow."
"We are delighted that our market-proven solutions are helping
customers, like LogMeIn, to easily accommodate unexpected spikes in
traffic demands," said Steven Bruny,
Executive Vice President of Sales for the Americas Region for
Ribbon. "LogMeIn's UCC portfolio includes some of the most
well-known and trusted collaboration solutions in the marketplace,
so we are extremely proud that they have entrusted Ribbon to help
them meet this growing demand from their customers."
LogMeIn's extensive portfolio of remote work solutions
includes the popular GoToSuite of products, GoToMyPC,
RescueAssist and more to make it easy to
connect, access and support teams quickly and professionally,
regardless of where users are located.
Ribbon's SBC 7000 delivers some of the industry's
highest capacity signaling, media and transcoding capabilities via
simple software licenses. The Ribbon PSX solution
delivers a centralized intelligent routing engine that manages the
security, complexity and cost of routing calls within a network.
The G9 Converged Gateway provides advanced protocol,
interface, security, signaling, and media processing support across
all wireless and wireline, access and core, and IP and TDM
environments. Ribbon's C3 Call Session Controller provides
service convergence and feature transparency across a wide range of
wireless, wireline, TDM, and IP networks.
Key Takeaways:
- LogMeIn is leveraging several components of Ribbon's extensive
cloud and edge software portfolio to manage increased network
capacity due to the dramatic increase in remote workers.
- LogMeIn has seamlessly managed unprecedented demand for its UCC
solutions due to the COVID-19 global pandemic forcing companies to
go to distributed workplace models.
- Ribbon's Network-Wide Licensing with burst licensing allows
LogMeIn to optimize SBC session utilization by managing a single
pool of session licenses across the entire network. This means
LogMeIn can respond to dynamically changing peak traffic levels
versus being limited to a per-node basis.
- Ribbon's market-leading SBC 7000, Policy and Routing Solution,
C3 Call Session Controller, and G9 Media Gateway are all helping
LogMeIn deliver the latest in communications and security
capabilities to its customers.

of its continued growth and expansion.
