Migrating SBCs to the Cloud

CloudifySBC: Control and enable innovative and dynamic services with cloud agility and efficiency

Strategically located at the access and peering edges of the network, the Session Border Controller (SBC) is an unavoidable crossroad for every IP-voice, video and messaging service, securing and controlling the signalling and media streams as they move in and out of the IMS network. As with most other parts of the mobile radio, packet core and IMS networks, the SBC is also being migrated to the cloud.

In this technical white paper, we will provide insights on:

• The drivers for Cloud SBCs
• The challenges associated with migrating SBCs to the cloud
• Detailed technical guidance to ensure optimal performance when virtualizing the media plane.
