Acme Packet recognized as a leading player in enterprise SBC market
Infonetics shows Acme Packet is one of top two leaders in burgeoning enterprise SBC market.
Acme Packet®, the leader in session border control solutions, announced today that in a recently released report on enterprise SBCs, Infonetics Research Inc., a leading research firm, identified Acme Packet as one of two leading vendors in the fast-growing enterprise SBC market.
In its June 2009 report, Enterprise SBC Market Outlook, Infonetics reported that Acme Packet was one of two market leaders by revenue share in a pool of several vendors that comprise the enterprise SBC market. Infonetics predicted this emerging market will grow an average of 49% annually through 2013 to nearly $300 million. The report cited the rapid adoption of SIP trunking services and IP-to-IP connectivity within the enterprise as driving demand for enterprise-class SBCs, which handle VoIP security and networking issues like NAT firewall traversal and interworking between different protocols and vendor implementations.
“As the long-time market leader of service provider SBCs, it’s not surprising to see Acme Packet take a commanding position in the enterprise SBC market,” said Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst, Enterprise Voice and Data, Infonetics Research. “Acme Packet’s SBC expertise, large SIP trunking service provider installed base, and recent enterprise initiatives put the company in a strong position as the market expands by more than 700% over the next five years.”
“Infonetics’ latest research illustrates Acme Packet’s leadership role in the enterprise market and the significant potential for growth as the market expands,” said Andy Ory, president, CEO and co-founder of Acme Packet. “SIP trunking and IP connectivity are fundamentally changing the way enterprises communicate and Infonetics’ research continues to demonstrate that Acme Packet Net-Net SBCs play a critical role in enabling this transition.”
Acme Packet has had a strategic focus on the enterprise market since 2007. Earlier this year the company made several significant enterprise announcements, including the introduction of the Net-Net 3800 and the acquisition of Covergence. Acme Packet’s enterprise base includes customers in the finance, technology, consumer goods, retail, government agencies, contact centers, and 8 of the Fortune 25.
Earlier this year, Infonetics reported that Acme Packet held a 45% market share by revenue in the service provider SBC market last year. Infonetics plans to release precise market share figures for the enterprise SBC market in future reports.
