Firewalls, SIP Servers and SBC - What's the Differences?

Editor's Notes

• #2: Welcome to “FreeSBC – A New Approach to the SBC”, a webinar event hosted by TelcoBridges Before we begin, a little housekeeping: As a live event participant, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with today’s speakers and hope you do pose your questions and comments on today’s topic using the Q/A panel. To pose a question or comment, open the Q/A panel by clicking on the box in the upper left of your screen. We’ll cover your questions toward the end of the session. We’ve found that some attendees may need to adjust the webinar View Options to see the full slide on your screen. If you are not seeing a full slide, move your mouse to the top of the webinar window and a View Option selection will appear – choose an option that best fits your screen. Also, today’s event is being recorded and all those that have registered will received a link to the recording for on-demand playback. We hope you share the link with your co-workers and others that would find the discussion valuable.

• #6: First a little background: As network architects in service providers and large enterprises plan their migration to cloud infrastructure, one network security element plays a critical role and needs special treatment - the Session Border Controller. At the crossroads of real-time voice and video traffic, SBCs are tasked with providing protection against DDOS attacks, facilitating NAT traversal, providing topology hiding, resolving interoperability issues and much more.
• #20: Recognizing these needs, TelcoBridges offers FreeSBC, a software SBC solution designed specifically for cloud and virtualized deployments. Highly scalable with carrier-grade reliability, FreeSBC is a commercial SBC, offered under a “freemium” business model. We feel FreeSBC better fits the emerging cloud application market needs for affordable voice network security.
