SnowShore Introduces Media Firewall for Securing Multimedia Communications

SnowShore Networks introduced a media firewall that works in conjunction with session border control applications to secure communications services between carrier and enterprise IP networks. A1-MF provides standard media-level border control services including wire-speed network address translation, firewall traversal and QOS marking, as well as real-time media transcoding. SnowShore said its product architecture enables independent scaling of network processor, protocol processor, and media processor resources to prevent performance bottlenecks. Availability is expected in Q2. Separately, SnowShore announced a joint partnership with NextTone Communications, a provider of session border controller technologies, to power its Multi-protocol Session Controller.
