• Sonus is presenting HPE orchestration and auto-scaling of the Sonus SBC SWe, providing efficiency and flexibility for Cloud-based, real-time communications.
• Sonus’ demonstration replicates its successful interoperability testing at the first ever ETSI Plugtest and is located at the HPE Partner Showcase booth 3E11.
Sonus Networks, Inc, a global leader in securing Cloud and real-time communications, announced today that it is demonstrating how interoperable, virtualized solutions can increase the speed of deployment of real-time communications in the Cloud. This demonstration, taking place at Mobile World Congress, is based on successful interoperability testing at the ETSI Plugtest and provides global service providers with a best-of-breed solution that supports carrier-grade real-time communications in the Cloud.
Located at the HPE Partner Showcase booth 3E11, the demonstration is comprised of the HPE NFV Director for management and orchestration (MANO), Sonus SBC SWe and EMS SWe as virtual network functions (VNFs), and NFV infrastructure (NFVI) from Wind River.
During the demonstration, the HPE NFV Director seamlessly orchestrates the instantiation, scaling and termination of virtual instances of the Sonus SBC SWe. The joint solution showcases elasticity, with automatic scaling and load-balancing. This delivers a proven, carrier-grade architecture that is reliable and flexible, dependent on network traffic needs.
