Acme Packet 3900 Platform
The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) supports the Acme Packet 3900 platform, which replaces the end-of-life Acme Packet 3820 platform and fills the resulting space in the product line with updated components, capacities, features, and functionality. Oracle designed the Acme Packet 3900 platform to provide SIP-trunking support and remote-branch connectivity for organizations that need higher performance and capacities than the Acme Packet 1100 and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) platforms can provide, but not as much as the Acme Packet 4600 platform provides. The Acme Packet 3900 platform shares the same management interfaces and operational model currently used in the other Acme Packet platforms supported by the E-SBC.
