Description

The Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) serves as a robust Session Border Controller (SBC) designed for enterprises, enabling secure, scalable, and adaptable voice and video communications between corporate networks and provider SIP trunks. It encapsulates four essential roles: session management, security enforcement, protocol interworking, and boundary definition. CUBE effectively facilitates signaling compatibility between SIP and H.323 protocols and manages media interworking, which includes DTMF, fax, modem support, and codec transcoding, while also executing address and port translations to ensure privacy and conceal network topology. Additionally, it offers features such as billing and call detail record (CDR) normalization, quality-of-service (QoS) optimization, bandwidth management, as well as media services that include forking and proxying capabilities. Moreover, CUBE can be implemented either on Cisco routers or as a virtual solution on Cisco UCS servers, accommodating centralized, distributed, or hybrid deployment strategies, which makes it versatile for various organizational needs. This adaptability allows businesses to tailor their communication infrastructure to meet evolving demands effectively.

Description

Mitel's OpenScape Session Border Controller (SBC) is a highly adaptable solution that offers extensive SIP interoperability, sophisticated media management, and strong security features. Tailored for VoIP infrastructures, this controller efficiently terminates SIP sessions on the WAN side, which helps ensure that traffic comes from verified sources while also scrutinizing SIP and media packets for any protocol discrepancies or irregularities. The OpenScape SBC actively regulates firewall "pin holes" for RTP and SRTP media streams. Its compatibility extends to Mitel’s MiVoice Business, MiVoice MX-ONE, and MiVoice 5000, in addition to OpenScape Voice, OpenScape 4000, and OpenScape Business, making it a versatile choice for organizations of all sizes. This solution accommodates various deployment methods, including virtualized software for VMware ESXi, and is set to support commercial off-the-shelf hardware like Lenovo servers in the near future, alongside a gateway option featuring Kontron servers. As such, it provides organizations with the flexibility to choose the most suitable infrastructure for their specific requirements.
