ATLANTA, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Takeaways:
- Sonus' virtualized enterprise Session Border Controller (e-SBC)
uses the same management and provisioning interface as the Sonus
SBC 1000 and SBC 2000, providing customers with a seamless path to
virtualization.
- The Sonus SBC SWe Lite complements the Sonus SBC SWe by
addressing the need for a virtualized SBC designed for Microsoft
Skype for Business and Microsoft Office 365 Cloud PBX
deployments.
- The SBC SWe Lite is optimized for small and mid-sized
enterprises (SMEs) and supports industry-leading hypervisors, such
as Microsoft Hyper-V and VMWare ESXi.
Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in secure
and intelligent Cloud communications, today introduced the Sonus
SBC SWe Lite, a virtualized e-SBC designed for Skype for
Business or Office 365 Cloud PBX deployments. The SBC SWe Lite
supplements the Sonus SBC SWe, providing a virtual Customer Premise
Equipment (vCPE) option for SMEs looking to virtualize
interworking, security and survivability for Unified Communications
(UC).
By leveraging the same management and provisioning interface as
the Sonus SBC 1000 and SBC 2000, the SBC SWe Lite empowers
enterprises to migrate from hardware to software without additional
investments in new equipment. The SBC SWe Lite also gives customers
the flexibility to deploy a virtual SBC solution on standard
off-the-shelf servers or in virtualized environments. Enterprises
with spare virtual machine resources available to host SBC
functionality can significantly reduce the capital expenditures
associated with deploying physical hardware on-premises in support
of Skype for Business or Office 365 Cloud PBX.
Optimized for SMEs, the SBC SWe Lite allows rapid expansion or
feature activation remotely via a simple license key, eliminating
the need for on-site technicians or disruption to operations during
peak business hours. With support for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMWare
ESXi, the SBC SWe Lite can be installed quickly. The SBC SWe Lite
also provides the same intuitive GUI as the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000
that was purpose built with ease of use in mind to dramatically
speed configurations through the simple configuration wizard.
The SBC SWe Lite offers the same Miercom® certified
security as the award winning SBC 1000 and SBC 2000. Sonus' newest
virtualized solution also ensures maximum uptime and availability
by securing mission critical traffic for VoIP, video, IM and online
collaboration through capabilities such as network topology hiding,
encryption, and protection from Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks.
Quotes:
"The Sonus SBC SWe Lite offers the same great
features and the simplified deployment of the Sonus SBC 1000 and
SBC 2000, with the added benefits running the platform in a virtual
environment. In fact, when using the Sonus SBC SWe Lite GUI it
became immediately obvious that the experience was going to be
exactly the same as the Sonus SBC 1000 or SBC 2000, with only minor
differences in the hardware-related areas," said Anurag Patel, CEO, Techland Systems
International Limited. "The GUI is incredibly intuitive and
extremely easy to navigate, and in less than five minutes we were
able to provision the SBC SWe Lite to allow successful setup and
placing of calls to/from the system."

complementary virtualized solution that focuses on small and medium
sized enterprises," said Umar Kabir,
