Sonus Networks debuts enhancements
Sonus Networks has announced enhancements to its
network transformation solution. These updates, the
company said, provide an innovative offering that helps
carriers modernise and monetise their network as they
migrate from circuit switching to all-IP environments.
The comapny has integrated the Sonus Centralised
Policy and Routing Engine (PSX) with the Sonus T7000
Intelligent Switching System. This enables the T7000 to
bypass its internal routing logic on a per-trunk basis and
use the PSX’s advanced routing and policy framework.
The T7000 continues to provide call processing, service
logic, switch fabric, media processing and signaling while the
PSX determines route choices for call terminations. Carriers
can continue to rely on the strength of the T7000 while
receiving additional benefits from the PSX, including least
cost routing, intelligent policy controls, simplified network
management, increased margins, and virtualised packaging
for cloud-ready customers.
Additional upgrades to Sonus’ network transformation
solution include higher scalability. Upgraded processors on the T7000 blades enable customers to support higher session
densities per codec and up to two times more sessions per second throughput. This functionality enables carriers to support
more sessions on fewer blades than past versions allowed.
Chris Yenney, general manager, Mobile Business Unit at Sonus Networks, said: ‘Over the years, Sonus has worked
tirelessly to lead service providers on their network transformation journey with trusted solutions that power and secure both
their TDM and IP communications.
‘With innovative features, such as centralised routing and next-generation inter face cards, Sonus is making it even easier
for carriers to begin their journey.’

Huawei launches intelligent cloud platform
Huawei has released the new-generation intelligent cloud hardware platform, Atlas, which is positioned for scenarios such as
public cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and high-per formance computing (HPC).
The company said that Atlas will ride on the advantages of key technologies including heterogeneous resource pooling an
intelligent orchestration to deliver new levels or hardware resource utilisation and adapt more flexibly to service demands.
Qiu Long, president, IT Server Product Line at Huawei, said that cloud computing technologies are already an integral part
of people’s daily lives.
Mr Long added: ‘From applications such as safe city and smart manufacturing to autonomous driving, AI and cloud
technologies are spreading. Pivotal to intelligence is having capabilities that allow numerous systems to process in real time
the massive volumes of data generated
from a world of full connectivity.
‘It’s become a tremendous challenge
for traditional computing systems to
deliver the required capabilities in order
to process, query and analyse data of
such a high order of magnitude.’
Huawei said that Atlas is said
to drive over 50% higher resource
utilisation efficiency and boosts
performance by over 10x compared
with the traditional x86 architecture,
meanwhile slashing the hardware decide
types for customers.
‘As the AI era is approaching,
traditional hardware cannot meet the
requirements on development of AI and
cloud technologies,’ Mr Long added.
