The Importance of Enterprise Session Border Controllers (E-SBCs) & Why They Matter

When Voice over IP (VoIP) emerged 20 years ago, businesses’ voice and IT teams were skeptical about how wise – and safe – it was to move voice calls over the Internet via data packets. Although VoIP was substantially more cost-effective, there were concerns around audio quality, latency and, of course, security.

Today, securing VoIP sessions and applications has become a huge challenge. With a growing number of calls and collaborative sessions using VoIP on public and private networks, service providers must respond to enterprises’ increasing concerns about security.

Natural Evolution Path: Moving Voice to the Cloud and Adopting UCaaS and CPaaS

Disruption is happening all around us in the incredibly fast-moving world of real time communications (RTC).

Over a decade ago, enterprise IT teams made a strong push to the cloud and succeeded. They lowered costs, enabled innovation, unlocked the value of data analytics and delivered a more secure computing environment than when they were responsible for running all computing on-premise.

Kandy CPaaS: Helping Service Providers participate in a Multi-Billion Dollar Growing Market Opportunity (Part 2 of 2)

In Part 1 of my blog, I provided an overview of why Communications Platforms as a Service (CPaaS) are growing in importance and highlighted the benefits of Ribbon's Kandy CPaaS platform. Now we will take a closer look at why Kandy is the preferred CPaaS for Communications Service Providers (CSPs).

CPaaS and Embedded Communications

CPaaS is one of those industry acronyms that has been tossed around for a few years now, but what is exactly is a CPaaS? Communications Platform as a Service (or CPaaS) enables the integration of voice, video, messaging, chat, presence and collaboration into any app, service, web site or business process via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs).

Enterprising Strategies: How Real Time Communications Apps are Delivering Value in Healthcare, Government, Financial Services & Education

Business today gets done online, and the digital transformation of large enterprises is driving nearly every single transaction to the cloud, the web, mobile apps, and more.

The virtualization of these digital enterprises is creating substantial gains in employee productivity, with an unprecedented number of them “dialing in” from remote locations, and a parallel growth in the number of on-site workers in offices, hospitals and medical clinics, in classrooms, public venues and more staying connected using business workflow apps as companions.

The Inevitability of DevOps: The Biggest Benefit of Network Transformation is Service Transformation

Development and operations teams are sprouting up in enterprises and businesses around the world, and while formal “DevOps” programs are still in the early phases, as our hyper-connected and hyper digital world calls for more and more software applications, many analysts suggest DevOps will be even more powerful than legacy IT in the future.

In an Increasingly Interconnected World a Rosetta Stone for Messaging Makes all the Difference

As communications networks evolve, interconnects tend to grow in numbers and complexity. Carriers and enterprises are converting core networks to IP, and are using IP to con­nect with peering entities. For the network core to deal with the emerging universe of applications, networks and devices, those elements must first be normalized at the edge.
