The company also announced the general availability of software Release 11.0 for Centralized Policy and Routing (PSX), Insight Element Management System (EMS) and GSX Media Gateway (GSX). These releases collectively deliver numerous benefits to communications service providers (CSPs) and enterprises, including the ability to deploy new services in virtual and cloud environments, enhance call-handling capabilities, increase operational efficiencies and improve security.
"Our latest software releases demonstrate our continued commitment to cloud, security and innovation," said
Konrad added, "Our goal is to continuously lead the market in offering our service provider and enterprise customers increased deployment flexibility and enhanced security for session and policy management of their cloud-based real-time communications offerings."
"GPU-based transcoding is a forward-thinking approach that offers service providers immediate CAPEX and OPEX benefits and Ribbon is staking out a leadership position in this area," said
Solutions Benefits:
- Industry-leading SBC media transcoding scaling capabilities in virtual and cloud deployments using NVIDIA GPUs to increase performance and decrease cost per transcoded session.
- Expanded SBC and PSX support for SIP Recording (SIPRec) allows enterprises and call centers to conduct up to four (4) simultaneous recordings of sessions via secure, encrypted technology.
- Expanded capabilities for Virtual Network Functions (VNF) instantiation with the ability to instantiate Ribbon's PSX VNF aligned with the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) framework.
- Enhancements for operational efficiencies that allow CSPs to reduce configuration complexity and improve ease of use.
- Enhanced security across all products to deliver more restrictive access, reduction in possible network exposure and additional encryption.
Key Takeaways:
