The Marketplace

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is ready to deliver on its promise of all-IP telephony, transitioning operators from

being facilities-based to being true software telcos, while protecting their investment in transmission equipment and

maintaining service continuity. As part of an IMS solution, Metaswitch’s Media Gateway Control Function is a critical

component in the evolution of the telco network and the march towards network functions virtualization (NFV).

Perimeta vSBC

Fortinet basis a broad security portfolio on a solution they call “Fortinet Security Fabric”. Fortinet security solutions

include solutions for network, endpoint, application, data center, cloud, and access that are designed to work

together as an integrated and collaborative security fabric. Fortinet aims to provide an integrated end-to-end

security solution across the entire attack surface along any point along the kill chain.

FortiGate

Mitel’s Virtualized Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is a software-based, carrier grade solution that can be deployed on

cloud-based infrastructures using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) to rapidly scale capacity and adapt to new

deployment models.
