The Oracle Acme Packet SBC product range from Oracle delivers connectivity to organisations in many ways solving business challenges with voice deployments such as:
CONNECTIVITYSIP trunking is becoming increasingly the first choice of organisations that are planning for new, or replacing connectivity to telephone services. Previously, analogue or digital connections such as ISDN were the preference. SIP connectivity not only delivers benefits such as reduced time to commission and minimal business disruption but also allows organisations to implement a consistent mobile and BYOD strategy with new UC applications.
INTEROPERABILITYWith accelerated consumption of UC applications such as Microsoft Skype for Business, the dependency on a suitable communications platform is increased significantly. Enabling interoperability between new applications and the existing SIP PBX is an area of focus. As organisations grow whether organically or by acquisition or merger, communications between SIP islands of SIP-based telephony systems is critical. Managing costs is essential and in many cases, organisations will have multiple Service Providers in place in order to attract the best possible tariffs. SBCs significantly reduce the complexity and management of these connections.
SECURITYIn the same way that an organisation will deploy firewalls to protect their data, email and other applications, SBCs should be deployed in order to protect and secure the voice and UC applications. UC applications support many types of traffic ranging from instant messaging, file sharing, video and voice, and as a result expose the network to multiple entry points for potential hackers. The SBC will prevent potential breaches of the communications infrastructure, mitigating against issues such as toll fraud which can lead to organisations losing thousands of dollars in hijacked telephony calls.
RELIABILITY AND CONTROLOrganisations need to ensure that voice traffic can be managed appropriately using policies that can be applied, enabling calls to be routed as efficiently as possible ensuring quality of service and network availability.

The Oracle range of Acme Packet SBCs provides an end-to-end solution allowing organisations to deploy an Oracle SBC solution from the very core of the network and distributing out to remote or branch offices.
The Oracle E-SBC supports distributed, centralised and hybrid SIP trunking topologies.
THE ORACLE SBC FAMILY AND POSITIONING
SPOTLIGHT ON: ACME PACKET 1100
In smaller organisations, the Acme Packet 1100 appliance provides a solution for remote or branch offices where the requirement for SIP trunking may be lower capacity than that typically found at a central site location.
Starting at 25 sessions and scaling up to 360 sessions, it enables an end–to-end Oracle Acme Packet SBC solution to be deployed.
It supports E1 TDM connectivity, which can be used for PBX integration, PSTN connectivity or should service to the SIP service provider become unavailable (failover providing disaster recovery).
• SIP trunking service rollouts (remote or branch offices)
• Green field opportunities:
– Business expansions – New ROBO build-outs
• UC platform rollouts (e.g. Microsoft Skype for Business)
• Modernisation projects:
– Migrating legacy ROBO PBX systems to SIP/UC – Introducing SIP trunks to connect to hosted or
cloud-based UC services

Oracle Acme Packet SBCs are all Microsoft UCOIP (Unified Communications Open Interoperability Program) qualified. For organisations that are considering Microsoft Skype for Business as their UC platform of choice, Oracle SBC solutions can enable enterprise voice functionality for Microsoft Skype for Business based around the following three architectures:
MICROSOFT SKYPE FOR BUSINESS SOLUTIONS ORACLE E-SBCs AND BEYOND
Survivability:
• Helps maintain communications in remote sites
• High availability protects service provider trunk connections
Reduced complexity:
• All E-SBCs run the same software • Management and control is made
easy with an embedded GUI • Multi-Vendor UC solutions can be
deployed and integrated faster
Flexibility: Oracle E-SBCs can be deployed in centralised, distributed or hybrid configurations across multiple locations supporting small and large enterprise organisation requirements.
Onsite standalone deployment of Microsoft Skype for Business with all servers maintained at the customer premises.
On-Premise
Also known as Skype for Business Online, many Skype for Business features are available to subscribers to the Office 365 suite – but which currently EXCLUDES Enterprise Voice. In order to deploy enterprise voice, Skype for Business is deployed on-premises and decommissioned from the cloud.Cloud/Skype for
Business Online
This deployment scenario leverages a combination of both Office 365 cloud and on-premise equipment. Applications such as Exchange and Skype for Business are managed and maintained in the cloud. Additionally some Skype for Business users may reside on-premises. Skype for Business voice functionality is deployed on the customer premises and integrated with the Office 365 cloud.
Hybrid model
Connectivity:
• Integrate disparate islands of SIP telephony and enable mixed-vendor solutions to communicate
• Provide remote workers with secure access for mobile communications, enabling BYOD strategies, as well as hosted and contact centre solutions
Security:
Oracle solutions remove barriers to the deployment of SIP trunking, UC and business applications with a range of platforms, ensuring secure interoperability.
Customer Experience:
• Quality of service can be maintained with proactive monitoring and analysis
• Oracle solutions ensure that organisations are compliant, delivering effective and efficient services
Oracle solutions are specifically designed to address the unique security, interoperability and reliability challenges organisations are presented with when delivering new telephony and business/UC applications.
