Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

Hi Ryan We at Sangoma run our VM SBC and Hybrid VM SBCs on all virtualization platforms. We are seeing a lot of interest in "NFV" to use the buzz word. VM SBC is pure software. - SBC features minus transcoding. - Managed via REST API Hybrid VM SBC - VM SBC + Ethernet DSP pcie card gives you

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

Frafos have been distributing their SBC as a downloadable VM image since at least 2013. I guess that makes them industry Visionaries and Unified Communications Thought Leaders since other folks are just coming to this realisation now. But they clearly lack the insight to see that a moderately

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

In the early days of using the word "cloud," I ran into a seller of such things who was trying to explain it to me as if I was new to computing. I said, "Yeah, I get it, just like when I used to admin a System/36 and customers would pay for their compute time and storage. Of course, I'm old, and

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

NFV is all about containers and micro services. It is unix all over again but in the cloud. Small containerized functions that do a specific task. Spun up in the cloud and linked together by an orchestration overlay. Personally I think it is a good thing — Matthew Crocker President -

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

Indeed. As usual, it's very seldom about whether words arranged in a certain order result in useful meaning. Marketing into the Bellhead CxO suite is a kind of meme laundering operation: "what can of horseshit can we seed into golf course and country club conversations?" Apparently NFV‎ is the

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

FWIW, I’ve used Sansay’s virtualized SBC — they provide a hardware appliance as well, which we are using in production, currently we are using their virtualized SBC in QA but am very happy with it. With regard to licensing, Sansay does separate itself from most of the competition by offering a

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

So, future-proof purchasing because the licence is for the essential content of the software rather than a superficially branded commodity server = NFV? That just sounds like V.  There's not a single thing SBCs do that can be described as a network function in need of software generalisation.

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

Management and licencing are rather ancillary to any discussion of NFs.

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

If it requires a bunch of configuration, I agree it is just V. But if there's an orchestration layer that informs all other systems of its presence, including management and licensing, without having to configure all that, then it is NFV. Now, whether the aforementioned vendors are actually doing

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

No. That's not NFV. That's just... V.

Re: [VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

LOL! +1 Reminds me of Larry Ellison's now infamous rant against the use of the "nonsense" marketing term "cloud computing". "All that 'cloud' is is computers in a network, in terms of technology. Now in terms of *business model*, you can say 'oh, it's rental', and this is also very
