Sonus Networks, Inc. has completed its multi phase virtualisation strategy with the introduction of virtual editions of:
Sonus Insight Element Management System (Insight EMS)
Sonus DataStream Integrator (DSI)
Sonus NetScore
With the completion of its strategy, Sonus now delivers a completely virtualised product portfolio to service providers and enterprises looking to virtualise their communication networks to help reduce the time, risk and expense of introducing new services within their networks. The portability and flexibility of these products make them the ideal choice when moving to virtualisation technology. By using common management and code base, Sonus has provided a low cost path for existing customers as they evolve their networks to virtualisation architecture. New customers will be able to quickly take advantage of the Sonus virtualised portfolio when deploying a hardware solution does not align with their strategy.
Architected to deliver increased flexibility with the same advanced features and functionality as hardware, the virtualised Sonus Insight EMS provides a robust portfolio of management and provisioning tools that, in conjunction with the virtualised Sonus DSI, allows service providers and enterprises to easily perform Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security (FCAPS) management of their network. The software edition of Sonus NetScore also features the same proactive analytic solutions that improves user experience and reduces operational costs – without compromise.
The software editions of the Sonus Insight EMS, DSI and NetScore join a family of virtualised products inclusive of Sonus’:
Centralised Policy and Routing Engine Software edition (PSX SWe)
Diameter Signalling Controller Software edition (DSC SWe)
Session Border Controller Software edition (SBC SWe)
Web Real Time Communication (WebRTC) Services Solution
Network as a Service (NaaS) IQ
All of Sonus’ software offers work within Sonus IQ, an architectural platform dedicated to bringing intelligence and security to real time communications, to enable customers to evolve to a communications network that leverages virtualisation to provision voice, video and data services intelligently when and where they are needed.
Additionally, key software updates to Sonus’ PSX SWe enable it to be deployed on demand in public or private Cloud environments, creating the ability to dynamically turn service up or down based on need at a particular time, without waiting for delayed roll outs or site visits for installs.
