Sonus Networks, a global leader in enabling and securing real-time communications has expanded its product portfolio in the Alcatel-Lucent CloudBand Ecosystem, an open Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) community ecosystem, with the inclusion of its Diameter Signaling Controller Software edition (DSC SWe) and the Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) IQ products. The Alcatel-Lucent CloudBand Ecosystem enables solution providers to accelerate new capabilities by fostering collaboration among members to quicken adoption of NFV and create new business opportunities across the industry. The solutions will join the currently deployed Sonus Session Border Controller Software edition (SBC SWe) introduced into the program in 2014.
According to Sonus, it will continues to drive leadership in Cloud-based deployments by expanding its current product portfolio to include virtualized SBCs, DSCs, NaaS platforms, policy/routing servers and media and signaling gateways, offering a wide range of NFV products for next generation Cloud-based service offerings.
