Sonus Networks, a global leader in SIP communications, announced today that the Sonus SBC 5000 Series of Session Border Controllers (SBCs) received a 2013 Excellence in Software Defined Networking (SDN) award by the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY and SDN Zone.

Sonus SBCs enable service providers and enterprises to quickly and securely enhance their network by implementing new services like SIP trunking and secure Cloud-based Unified Communications (UC). They provide a scalable platform delivering session management capabilities such as multi-vendor interworking, built-in media transcoding, line-rate encryption and advanced routing capabilities. The SBC 5000 Series is performance validated by Miercom and Microsoft Lync qualified.
 
Sonus received this award based on specific points of leadership in the SDN technology domain including the recently announced SBC SWe, the industry’s first software-based SBC architected to deliver unlimited scalability with the same advanced features and functionality of the SBC 5000 Series on a virtualized platform. “The rise of network virtualization and SDNs combined with virtual infrastructure enables the network to automatically reconfigure when voice and video require it,” according to Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst of ZK Research and author of “Software-Based Session Border Controllers are Critical to the Evolution of Communications,” October 2013. 
 
The potential impact of SDN is underscored in the May 2013 report from Gartner Inc, “SDN and NFV Offer CSPs a New Way to Do Business,” co-authored by Akshay Sharma and Akiyoshi Ishiwata, which states “[t]he holistic control of software-defined networking (SDN) with the elasticity of network function virtualization (NFV) gives communications service providers (CSPs) new and more flexible business models.”
