Oracle, Monday announced the release of Oracle’s Acme Packet 1100, an enterprise session border controller (E-SBC) appliance optimized for midsize organizations and branch offices of large enterprises. The new Acme Packet 1100 is to be deployed at network borders to protect businesses from security threats to IP networks, address interoperability challenges, and enable reliable access to UC services—helping support a more productive office environment.
"Many smaller enterprises and branch offices of larger businesses require the same SIP trunking and session border controller capabilities as larger organizations, but do not have the manpower or budget needed to run these large-scale platforms. Oracle has introduced Acme Packet 1100 to address the unique capacity and pricing requirements of smaller organizations, with the same connectivity, security, and control offered on larger platforms.”
- Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications
“Led by the desire to reduce operating expenses, 62 percent of companies will deploy SIP trunking by 2015, up from just 26 percent in 2013. Furthermore, the percentage of PSTN trunks converted to SIP will rise from 24 percent to 47 percent in that same time span. Session Border Controller solutions designed for branch offices that also integrate into core SBC platforms offer the opportunity to minimize management complexity and maximize potential cost savings.”
