SAN JOSE, Calif., Mar 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Veraz Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ:VRAZ), a leading global provider of bandwidth optimization and IMS switching solutions, today announced the availability of its Network-adaptive Border Controller, the next generation of Session Border Controllers (SBC). As networks become more complex, carriers require solutions that can cost-effectively scale in step with the network. The Veraz Network-adaptive Border Controller provides security for multimedia sessions and network interconnection, while reducing OPEX through centralized management, billing, and routing.
The first generation of SBCs provided simple interconnection and security between IP networks. Each SBC required its own management interface and did not provide visibility to the other end of the connection. As networks increase in both scale and complexity, operating costs skyrocket. Additional resources are required to manage an increasing number of SBCs, execute end-to-end network debugging, perform consolidated and unified routing, and provide consolidated billing. Scaling first generation standalone SBCs requires the duplication of redundant functionality throughout the network which becomes unmanageable.
Veraz's Network-adaptive Border Controller reduces OPEX costs by providing centralized management and control of distributed SBCs so that carriers have one routing interface, one billing record, and one source of FCAPs information. The Network-adaptive Border Controller comes in different scalable hardware configurations, depending on the number of sessions required at each gateway location.
"More and more carriers are frustrated with their inability to scale their existing networks with first generation, standalone SBCs," said Amit Chawla, EVP of Global Business Units. "Veraz is pleased to provide full network control and visibility from a single interface with our Network-adaptive Border Controller."
Volume production shipments began in Q407, with over 100,000 sessions shipped to date.
