Cloud Native Core Session Border Controller

Secure your Communication Services with our Cloud Native SBC

Overview

Ribbon’s Session Border Controller Cloud Native Edition (SBC CNe) delivers best-in-class real-time communications security. Designed using cloud native architecture and operational principles, SBC CNe reduces the cost and complexity of securely connecting a wide range of VoIP services. SBC CNe delivers:

• VoIP Security: Topology hiding, encryption, protection against Denial-of-Service attacks, and much more.
• Proven interoperability: Interoperability with leading cloud UC and cloud contact center services, IP-PBXs, SIP endpoints, and SIP trunking providers.
• Powerful media services: Including extensive media transcoding capabilities.
• High availability and redundancy: When deploying in a public cloud such as AWS.
• Automated scaling: Scale-in and scale-out of resources on AWS.

SBC CNe has been designed based on a microservices architecture deployed in containers using Kubernetes for lifecycle management. This architecture dynamically scales up to meet increasing demand and scales down when traffic is light, reducing cloud computing costs. The cloud native design inherently provides a high degree of resiliency by loosely coupling services such that a software operation can fail without impacting other active services. Furthermore, SBC CNe is designed to seamlessly integrate into a customer’s observability framework with APIs to many open-source applications.

SBC CNe is managed by Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP), a common solution used across the Ribbon portfolio, making it an integrated part of a multi-product, multi-site Ribbon deployment. A customer deploying SBC CNe can take advantage of Ribbon Automation to simplify and automate cloud native operational processes for software delivery, testing, lifecycle management, and provisioning.

Session Border Controller Cloud Native Edition

Ribbon's Session Border Controller Cloud Native Edition (SBC CNe) embodies Ribbon’s innovation, knowledge, and expertise in cloud-native design, and experience in deploying SBCs in the most demanding environments.

Designed using microservices, with automated Kubernetes lifecycle management, SBC CNe optimizes cloud resource allocation, enables dynamic scaling, and provides resiliency and redundancy. SBC CNe ensures service providers can deploy a carrier-grade SBC providing robust network security, overload controls, SIP protocol normalization, SIP Recording, SIP over WebSocket, IPv4-IPv6 interworking, and extensive media transcoding.

Service Provides will be able to leverage cloud-native benefits and still be able to meet or exceed the demanding requirements needed to secure services such as SIP trunking, Network-Network Interconnect, Unified Communications, Contact Centers, or just to migrate from TDM to IP peering.

Like all of Ribbon's Core SBCs, SBC CNe Call Detail Records and KPIs are key inputs for Ribbon Analytics to assist network operators with robocall/fraud detection and mitigation.
