Enterprise Session Border
Controller (E­SBC)
Oracle’s Enterprise Session Border Controller (E­SBC) connects disparate
Internet Protocol (IP) communications networks while mitigating security
threats, curing interoperability problems, and ensuring reliable
communications. It protects and controls real­time voice, video, and Unified
Communications (UC) as they traverse IP network borders.
APPLICAT IONS
• ­Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) ­
trunking ­
• ­Internet
Protocol (IP)–enabled ­
contact centers ­
•
Videoconferencing
•
Hosted IP communications services
•
Remote workers and offices
Overview
Available in software and appliance configurations, the product is highly scalable and
includes an industry­leading feature set:
•
Strong security. The Oracle E­SBC protects IP telephony and UC infrastructure,
services, and applications, and it ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It
prevents fraud and service theft, and guards against malicious attacks, system
overloads, and other service­affecting events.
•
Easy interoperability. The Oracle E­SBC provides extensive signaling and media
control features to help businesses overcome interoperability challenges that
commonly occur when interfacing with public IP network services. It also performs
protocol interworking and dial plan management for integration with legacy systems.
•
Assured reliability. The Oracle E­SBC ensures Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN)–like availability and service quality for IP communications. It enforces service
quality, balances loads across trunks, and reroutes sessions around interface failures
to optimize network performance, circumvent equipment and facility problems, and
ensure business continuity.
KEY FEATURES
• ­Advanced
denial of service (DoS) ­
and overload protection ­
•
Fraud detection and prevention
•
SIP protocol normalization
•
H.323 to SIP protocol interworking
• ­Optional
1:1 high availability on every
model
• ­On­board
probe for Enterprise ­
Operations Monitor ­
from 25 to 80,000 sessions
in a single chassis
Functions and Models
• ­Scalable
• ­Proven
multivendor and service ­
provider interoperability ­
KEY BENEFITS
•
Accelerate service deployment.
•
Connect to SIP trunking services and the internet
IT infrastructure, services, ­
and applications. ­
•
Access cloud communications services
Guard against malicious attacks.
•
Communicate securely with remote workers
•
Manage sessions across a multivendor UC environment
•
Connect contact center locations and business process outsourcing (BPO) services
• ­Protect
•
Businesses install the Oracle E­SBC at Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network
borders where enterprise communications systems interface with public network
services or where disparate multivendor systems must be managed. They use the
products to:
• ­Optimize
performance and service ­
quality. ­

SESSION DELIVERY
INFRASTRUCTURE
Oracle’s session delivery infrastructure
enables enterprises and service providers
to manage the many challenges in the
delivery of IP voice, video, and data
services and applications. Service
provider solutions are deployed at
network borders and in the IP service
core to help fixed­line, mobile, wholesale,
and over­the­top service providers
optimize revenues and realize long­term
cost savings. In the enterprise, session
delivery infrastructure
solutions seamlessly connect fixed and
mobile users, enabling rich multimedia
interactions and automating business
processes for significant increases in
productivity and efficiency.
The following Oracle products are part of
the session delivery infrastructure:

The Oracle Enterprise Session Border Controller is specifically designed to address the
unique security, interoperability, and reliability challenges businesses often encounter when
extending interactive voice, video, and UC across IP networks. The Oracle E­SBC also helps
enterprises contain voice transport costs and overcome the unique regulatory compliance
challenges associated with IP telephony.
The Oracle E­SBC supports distributed, centralized and hybrid SIP trunking topologies.
Flexible survivability features help maintain communications in remote sites and stateful high
availability protects service provider trunk connections. To simplify operations in multi­site
networks, all E­SBC models run common software. An embedded GUI features a real­time
dashboard that monitors key performance indicators with drag­and­drop, point­and­click
simplicity.
