Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in secure
and intelligent Cloud communications, announced today a significant
addition to its Session Border Controller (SBC) portfolio with the
introduction of the Sonus SBC 5400. Working to increase customer
deployment flexibility with the broadest portfolio of SBCs on the
market, the SBC 5400 was purpose-built to meet the unique real-time
communications challenges large enterprises and service providers
face today.
The SBC 5400 is designed to provide advanced scalability up to
75,000 anchored media sessions, delivering unrivaled performance
per price compared to competing products. The SBC 5400 also
provides seamless migration to 10G networks for mid-range SBCs,

SIP firewall, protecting communication networks' signal and media
sessions. The SBC 5400 provides complete security, without
any performance impact, via encryption, Denial of Service (DoS) and
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack detection and blocking,
and dynamic black-listing of rogue endpoints.
Sonus' newest SBC seamlessly integrates with Sonus' existing
product portfolio and also provides sophisticated routing and
policy management, overload controls, SIP normalization, IPv4-IPv6
interworking, multi-modal communication, built-in media
transcoding, and assured performance and scale under heavy
traffic.

Quotes:
"There's no doubt the future lies in
virtualized, Cloud-ready SBCs," said Mykola
Konrad, vice president, Product Management and Marketing,
Sonus. "But the reality is that not everyone is ready for a virtual
SBC. The SBC 5400 allows customers to transition to the Cloud at
their own pace. With unsurpassed scalability and performance, our
new SBC not only showcases our leadership in the SBC market, but
also embodies our dedication to provide a solution for every type
of customer."
"Long-term, the SBC market is clearly headed toward a
Cloud-based architecture," said Greg
Collins, Founder, Exact Ventures. "In the near term,
however, there remains a strong need for high performance, scalable
solutions like the Sonus SBC 5400. Solutions like this provide the
ability to operate in hybrid environments where certain aspects of
the SBC are virtualized, while other, more processor intensive
functions, remain in purpose-built network elements."
