[VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

[Nenad Corbic]

Hi Ryan

We at Sangoma run our VM SBC and Hybrid VM SBCs on all virtualization platforms. We are seeing a lot of interest in "NFV" to use the buzz word. 

VM SBC is pure software. 
- SBC features minus transcoding.
- Managed via REST API

Hybrid VM SBC 
- VM SBC + Ethernet DSP pcie card gives you VM with transcoding.  Best of both worlds. :)

We run a Hyper-V Hybrid VM SBC in our production Lync /Skype for business  deployments. 

Recently we did Hyper-V benchmarks -no transcoding and was shocked with the quality and performance of Hyper-V.  

I would be interested to hear what your crypto / transcoding / SBC requirements are. We could run some scenario benchmarking in our lab and publish what is possible with today's VMs. 

Good luck.

And they have a whole buzzword for this?
