Implementing SBCs in the Enterprise: Understanding Market & Service Drivers

Sponsors: Acme Packet, EXFO
Host: Jim Hodges, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Featured Speakers: Chad Hart, Director of Product Marketing, Acme Packet; and Kader Khan, Product Line Manager, EXFO Wireless
Date: Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Time: 11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London
Overview:
Service providers have become increasingly involved in the deployment of Enterprise Session Border Controllers (E-SBCs) in the enterprise to facilitate complex Unified Communication feature interworking, simplify interconnection via SIP trunking and enhance services around local enterprise policies.

However, like other networks, Enterprises are also undergoing fundamental changes as mobile device and application use increases, traditional applications are virtualized into the cloud and video services continue to gain momentum. As a result, the manner in which service providers recommend, support and utilize E-SBCs is also evolving quickly in response to these new real-time design and feature imperatives.

Accordingly, in this webinar, we will examine how E-SBCs are poised to adopt new design modes, capabilities and business models. Topics to be addressed include the impact of SBC software virtualization, ease of implementation, policy-based feature enhancements, and session management to support Unified Communications. In addition, a number of key deployment decision points such as the optimal E-SBC sales model (e.g. resell, hosted or managed E-SBC) and high-value monetization use cases will also be discussed.

The webinar will also address the significance of high-capacity and high-performance testing to validate the scalability, resiliency and performance of E-SBCs. The focus will be on advanced features such as security, interworking, policy and their impact on quality of service.
