Global software leader in intelligent and secure cloud communication solutions, Ribbon Communications, has now introduced a new Next-Gen Intelligent Edge portfolio. The comprehensive solution, which includes EdgeMarc 6000, will connect and enhance data and voice applications while supporting service assurance, security, and advanced analytics. The service is compatible with Microsoft Teams, and can provide policy and routing capabilities for all cloud applications.

The Edge portfolio will give enterprises and service providers a complete offering on the edge. According to EVP of Business Development for Ribbon, and CMO, Patrick Joggerst, the portfolio will give managed service providers everything they need to access a broad selection of Microsoft-certified solutions for the edge. Along with voice and data services, the edge portfolio will also allow service providers to significantly reduce TCO by centrally provisioning, monitoring, securing, and managing their service offerings.

Life on the Edge with Ribbon

Joggerst noted that the advanced resiliency and remote monitoring capabilities of the new portfolio, alongside management from Ribbon’s EdgeView centre for service control will allow providers to maintain the service level agreements promised in their offerings.

At the heart of the portfolio is the EdgeMarc 6000 from Ribbon – a platform designed for data and voice functionality. This service contains all the best of Ribbon’s edge services in a modular platform that’s extensible and accessible for future innovations.

The EdgeMarc 6000 physically connects to existing communication solutions and can also run containerised network functions. With over 1 million EdgeMarc devices deployed already, Ribbon’s customers can be confident that they’re accessing carrier-proven technology that’s some of the most advanced in the market. Additionally, Ribbon’s Next-Gen intelligent Edge portfolio also comes with LTE radio capabilities to enhance connectivity with a failover solution for continuity.

According to the CEO of Pure-IP, Gary Forrest, his team selected the Intelligent Edge solution from Ribbon because it allowed them to deploy state-of-the-art reliable edge devices at customer sites. The solution also allows Pure-IP to deploy reliable, state-of-the-art edge devices at customer sites, offering Microsoft Teams Direct Routing as a service. Pure-IP is a long-time Ribbon customer, due in large part to the robust and innovative solutions that the company continues to deliver.

The Edge offering from Ribbon allows rapidly growing providers in the market to attract new customers, while retaining their existing ones. According to the Principal Research Analyst and CIO of Nemertes Research, John E. Burke, enterprises are beginning to see the edge as an extension of the data centre, and they want to manage their functions there, just as they do in the cloud or data centre. Containerized software solutions allow for an easy and secure solution. Ribbon’s offering is a holistic and software-based solution for providing communications on the edge for the needs of all enterprises and service providers.
