Oracle Enterprise Session Border Controller Description
The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) connects disparate Internet Protocol (IP) communications networks while mitigating security threats, curing interoperability problems, and ensuring reliable communications. The E-SBC protects and controls real-time voice, video, and Unified Communications (UC) as they traverse IP network borders.
Overview
Available in software and appliance configurations, the E-SBC is highly scalable and includes an industry-leading feature set.
- Strong security. As the E-SBC protects IP telephony and UC infrastructure, services, and applications, it also ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The E-SBC protects against fraud, service theft, malicious attacks, system overloads, and other events that affect service.
- Easy interoperability. The E-SBC provides extensive signaling and media control features to help businesses overcome interoperability challenges that commonly occur when interfacing with public IP network services. The E-SBC also performs protocol interworking and dial plan management for integration with legacy systems.
- Assured reliability. The E-SBC ensures Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN)-like availability and service quality for IP communications. The E-SBC enforces service quality, balances loads across trunks, and reroutes sessions around interface disruptions to optimize network performance, circumvents equipment and facility problems, and ensures business continuity.
Functions and Modes
Businesses install the E-SBC at Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network borders, where enterprise communications systems interface with public network services and where disparate multi-vendor systems must be managed.
- Connect to SIP trunking services and the Internet
- Access communications services
- Communicate securely with remote workers
- Manage sessions across a multi-vendor UC environment
- Connect contact center locations and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services
