SBC SWe Datasheet

Session Border Controller Software Edition (SBC SWe)

The Ribbon Session Border Controller Software Edition (SBC SWe) is architected to enable and secure realtime communications in the cloud without compromise. The SBC SWe features the same code base, resiliency,
media transcoding, and security technology found in Ribbon’s award-winning hardware-based SBC 5000 Series
and SBC 7000 Session Border Controller - without the appliance. Customers can deploy the SBC SWe as a
Virtual Machine (VM) on industry-standard servers in a data center environment, as a Virtual Network Function(VNF) in an OpenStack cloud infrastructure, or as a VNF in a public cloud, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The SBC SWe operates seamlessly with the existing Ribbon
SBC product portfolio.
Ribbon’s strategy capitalizes on its
heritage of enabling secure, reliable,
and scalable real-time communications,beginning with the transition from TDM
to IP, and now into the cloud. Startingat 25 sessions, and scaling to hundreds of thousands, theunique architecture of the SBC SWe allows customers todefine where on the performance curve their network needs
to reside. Designed to be simple but robust, and agile but
predictable, the SBC SWe makes it easy for customers to reachnew markets and new revenues with secure SIP and Unified
Communications (UC) services:•••••••••••
