Ribbon Communications partners with Aircall on AWS
Ribbon Communications announced that Aircall was deploying a suite of Ribbon solutions on the AWS public cloud to enhance its global communications infrastructure and to accelerate time-to-market, streamline operations and ensure compliance with French caller-identification requirements.
The announcement described the AWS deployment as a purpose-built, cost-effective alternative to running Ribbon software in private data centers, enabling elastic scale, removing the operational and capital expenditures tied to ongoing data center maintenance, and allowing Aircall's operational teams to adjust scale via software licenses.
Aircall implemented several Ribbon software components on AWS, including SBC SWe, a virtualized software solution for voice network security; PSX for advanced call routing; Analytics for network traffic monitoring and anomaly detection; and RAMP for centralized application management. The release also identified Ribbon Call Trust® STIR/SHAKEN as a service for caller identity authentication, signing, verification, and certificate management as defined by French law.
The companies described this work as a consolidation of Aircall's international footprint and a move to reduce data center-related capital and operational costs while providing elastic scaling capability that could be adjusted in minutes through software licensing.
“Ribbon offered us a comprehensive end-to-end solution that accelerates our time-to-market while consolidating our international footprint, and ensuring compliance with French regulatory mandates,” said Jonathan Barbot, Engineering Manager at Aircall. “Their global capabilities and top-tier sales teams were also key to our decision.” “Partnering with Aircall to deploy our communication network and security elements on AWS underscores our commitment to providing scalable, secure, and efficient solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Christian Erbe, Ribbon's Head of EMEA Sales. “We are proud to support Aircall as they lead the way in transforming customer communications.”
The release included forward-looking statements, noted that actual results could differ from those statements, and referred readers to the “Risk Factors” section of Ribbon Communications' most recent annual or quarterly report for further information.
