Adds session border control technology to Oracle’s leading communications industry offering to speed the deployment of all-IP networks.
Oracle has announced that it has agreed to acquire Acme Packet, the global provider of session border control technology for service providers and enterprises. The proposed transaction is subject to Acme Packet stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2013. Until the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently, and will operate its business as usual.
Acme Packet enables trusted, first-class delivery of next-generation voice, data and unified communications services and applications across IP networks for service providers and enterprises. The company’s solutions are deployed by more than 1,900 service providers and enterprises globally, including 89 of world’s top 100 communications companies.
Oracle plans to make Acme Packet a core offering in its Oracle Communications portfolio to enable customers to more rapidly innovate while simplifying their IT and network infrastructures. Service providers are expected to be able to differentiate and monetize offerings through secure and reliable IP-based communications from any device, across any network. We also anticipate enterprise customers will be able to more effectively engage customers, deliver more innovative applications, and improve employee productivity. This combination is expected to provide our partners with an expanded portfolio of world-class solutions to help them create even greater value for their customers.
