Organizations are rapidly adopting cloud communications whether it be Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Microsoft Teams or SIP Trunks to connect premises equipment. Ribbon’s SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 Session Border Controllers provide market leading security and interoperability elements to simplify access to secure cloud-based services. The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 include multiple options to integrate traditional telecom devices via analog,

BRI and T1/E1 ports. They also include impactful capabilities to maintain communications access if a WAN link is lost or a cloud service is unavailable.

Beyond their industry renowned security services, the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are independently verified for performance and designed to eliminate interoperability issues between different VoIP products and networks. Ribbon has been working closely with Microsoft for more than a decade so it should come as no surprise that both products are Microsoft certified for Microsoft Direct Routing.

The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are certified with Zoom, Webex, Google Voice, Cisco BroadSoft, Yealink, Poly, and tested with other popular services and products. A built-in deployment wizard is pre-populated with popular PBXs, cloud UC services, contact centers, and service provider configurations so deployment can be as simple as point and click. Most importantly, the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 have been successfully deployed tens of thousands of times to secure communications for organizations of all sizes, across the globe.

 

Part of an Industry Leading Portfolio of Real-time Security Solutions - from Ribbon Communications

The SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 represent one element of Ribbon’s security portfolio. Organizations that prefer software only solutions can deploy the same capabilities using Ribbon’s Software Edition Edge (SBC SWe Edge) in their own datacenter or in a public cloud such as Azure or AWS. In addition, Ribbon offers a robust portfolio of analytics tools to proactively look for security issues. Ribbon also provides massively scalable SBCs for large enterprises and over 1,000 of the world’s leading communications service providers. In fact, there is a good chance that your communications service provider is already a Ribbon customer.

Centrally Managed from Ribbon Application Management Platform

Ribbon SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 are centrally managed via the Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP). RAMP provides streamlined access to SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 management interfaces as well as simplified access to cross location centralized reporting. The EdgeView platform can manage heterogenous deployments of SBC 1000 & SBC 2000 elements and SBC SWe Edge instances (in data centers or public cloud). Customers can rationalize far-flung networks, monitor performance and quickly remediate issues, leading to improved experiences and reduced costs.
