When it comes to deployments of cutting-edge Unified Communications technology like Microsoft Lync, including a session border controller (SBC) in your implementation plans is vital. Without this foundational element you may be hampered by dial plan complexity, numerous carrier trunking contracts, no branch office support and limited survivability in the event of a wide area network (WAN) failure.
Not all SBCs are created equal, especially within Lync environments. Therefore, you as decision-makers must carefully weigh factors such as real-world session performance, robustness of features, ease of setup and integration before selecting an SBC for your Lync deployments.
Sonus Networks commissioned The Tolly Group to compare the performance of the Sonus SBC 2000 Session Border Controller to that of the AudioCodes Mediant 1000B SBA-ES and Mediant 2600 Enterprise SBC (E-SBC). Additionally, Tolly evaluated the setup, Microsoft Lync integration and select features and of the SBCs.
Tolly found that the Sonus SBC 2000 delivers 4x the claimed performance of the AudioCodes Mediant 1000B and 2x the 2600 for transcoded sessions. Tolly also found that the Sonus SBC was much easier to setup and integrate with Microsoft Lync.
