Sonus
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a
global leader in enabling and securing real-time communications,
today introduced “Sonus IQ,” a new architectural platform
developed to bring security and intelligence to real-time communications
networks. Sonus IQ enables a “new IP” architecture for enterprise and
operators’ real-time communications networks, which allows customers to
provide a better quality of experience (QoE); lower capital expenditures
(CAPEX) by increasing current asset utilization; and decrease
operational expense (OPEX) by increasing service automation and reducing
new service cycle time.
As applications such as real-time voice and video migrate to IP-based
networks, service providers and enterprises look to add bandwidth and
segment their networks to ensure that mission critical traffic receive
the correct prioritization within appropriate security. As IP traffic
continues to grow, it is no longer feasible to arbitrarily add bandwidth
to scale - networks require security, policy and intelligence to
cost-effectively scale real-time communications.
Sonus IQ leverages the capabilities of both virtualization and Software
Defined Networking (SDN) to enable customers to evolve to a secure
real-time communications network with the ability to provision voice,
video and data services intelligently when and where it is needed. The
ability to offer Session Border Controller (SBC) or Policy functions
only when necessary, along with the ability to adapt the network to the
specific requirements of a real-time session, allows service providers
to lower both operational and capital expenses.
The entire Sonus product portfolio is available in virtualized form,
allowing customers to rapidly start, stop and enable real-time
communications features in their networks. The Sonus Session Border
Controller Software edition (SBC SWe), Sonus Diameter Signaling
Controller Software edition (DSC SWe) and Sonus Centralized Policy and
Routing Engine Software edition (PSX SWe) provide security and policy
control for all real-time packets, making the network completely
“session aware.” These products will be integrated to share session
quality of service requirements and network Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) with the Sonus IQ platform. This combination of session aware
intelligence with an OpenFlow compliant network control platform allows
customers to dynamically adapt the network to their real-time
communications requirements.
Quote:
“Sonus IQ enables service providers and enterprises to secure and
optimize their voice and video networks by bringing unique levels of
intelligence to the network," said Kevin Riley, chief technology
officer, Sonus. “Linking control of the data transport layer to the
real-time applications that are using that layer gives mobile network
operators and service providers the flexibility they need to launch
real-time communications services quickly, while lowering the operating
expenses for these services.”
