Sangoma Introduces Highest Density Transcoding Card!

Posted by laurenb @ Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:55:09 -0500

Sangoma Introduces the Highest Density Voice Transcoding Card Available on the Market Today

New D500 Card Delivers Up to 2,000 Simultaneous Transcoding Sessions With Optimum Voice Quality and Industry Leading Cost for IP Telephony/VOIP Applications

The D500 is both standalone and accessible via IP networks. This means it can be installed in the same server where your telecom applications run or it can be pooled in dedicated transcoding server farms for maximum deployment flexibility. Either way, the voice transcoding processing is performed on the card, freeing up the host CPU to do other tasks. Most IP telephony applications require the use of multiple types of voice codecs, which are used to digitally compress the voice signals. This can be done to save bandwidth by using G.729 codecs or to enhance the voice signal by using HD codecs (such as G.722.1). As more and more VoIP networks get deployed and interconnected, there are instances where there will be mismatches of codec capabilities between two endpoints, creating the need to transcode (mediate and adapt between various codecs).
The D500 card, available in a compact PCIe form factor, offers developers and integrators the ability to convert up to 2,000 sessions on a single board and supports a long list of codecs such as G.711, G.723.1, G.729ab, HD Voice (G.722.1) GSM and AMR. Moreover, these codecs are generally indemnified, meaning there are no additional costs other than the price of the D500 hardware.
The new transcoding portfolio from Sangoma is used on both open source and proprietary applications. In the open source world, the D500 software drivers (like those of Sangoma’s other transcoding cards), provide “plug-and-play” capabilities for both Asterisk® and FreeSWITCH®, two leading open source telephony projects. With the compatible drivers, the open source telephony platforms can use the D500 cards as seamless voice transcoding resources. This means that existing Asterisk and FreeSWITCH applications can readily start leveraging the D500 capabilities. Further, the open source telephony software can be used as a gateway or session border controller to provide network-based transcoding services.

WatchGuard XTM Appliances Underpin New Managed Security Solutions for SMEs

Aschheim-Dornach/Seattle – November 22, 2010. WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader of business security solutions, today announced that the WatchGuard XTM 2 and XTM 5 integrated security appliances have been selected by Telekom Deutschland as key components of its new Managed Security Services (MSS) aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises. The new ‘Business Network Protect’ service from Deutsche Telekom Technischer Service GmbH (DTTS) combines the XTM hardware firewall with WatchGuard’s suite of antivirus, anti-spam, application control, web-filtering and intrusion protection along with its range of modular managed services for seamless installation, configuration and operation.

Telekom Deutschland has been selling WatchGuard’s trademark red Unified Threat Management (UTM) products for more than ten years and this latest agreement to integrate the next generation XTM (eXtensible Threat Management) appliances into its new managed services portfolio after extensive evaluation, further strengthens the partnership between the two companies.

“Security is a critical issue for any size of organization and SMEs face the same challenge as larger enterprises; to respond to increasing threats in the form of malware, hackers and botnets, while keeping IT costs and complexity under control,” says Eric Aarrestad, Vice President of Marketing at WatchGuard Technologies. “The WatchGuard XTM 2 and XTM 5 solutions specifically address the security needs of small to medium-sized enterprises and are ideally matched to the aims of the DTTS in the development of its new Business Network Protect service.”

Cloud Computing & Sustainability

Posted by laurenb @ Tue, 09 Nov 2010 15:00:07 -0500

Published by Microsoft November 05, 2010

This white paper from Microsoft, Accenture and WSP Environment and Energy shows how companies can save anywhere from 30 to 90 percent of their energy use and emissions by moving IT operations to cloud computing infrastructures.

From the introduction to the report:

Both cloud computing and sustainability are emerging as transformative trends in business and society. Most consumers (whether they are aware of it or not) are already heavy users of cloud-enabled services, including email, social media, online gaming, and many mobile applications. The business community has begun to embrace cloud computing as a viable option to reduce costs and to improve IT and business agility.

At the same time, sustainability continues to gain importance as a performance indicator for organizations and their IT departments. Corporate sustainability officers, regulators and other stakeholders have become increasingly focused on IT’s carbon footprint, and organizations are likewise placing more emphasis on developing long-term strategies to reduce their carbon footprint through more sustainable operations and products.

Cloud service providers are making significant investments in data center infrastructure to provide not only raw computing power but also Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business applications for their customers. New data centers are being built at ever-larger scales and with increased server density, resulting in greater energy consumption.
