Nefsis Automated Bandwidth Throttling Enables
HD Video Conferencing Over Existing Business Networks
Cloud computing and dynamic bandwidth consumption
adapt video conferencing application to customer’s network, not the other way around
SAN DIEGO — April 12, 2011 — Online services innovator Nefsis®
announced today the addition of automated bandwidth throttling, CPU
balancing technology, and dynamic video coding enhancements to its
global video conferencing cloud. These cloud-based
technologies enable multipoint HD video conferencing with desktop sharing
and advanced collaboration tools over existing business networks. While
traditional infrastructure hardware solutions for multipoint video
require guaranteed bandwidth,
Nefsis cloud computing adapts to
changing bandwidth conditions. This flexibility lets businesses of
all sizes benefit from video conferencing. Those with adequate
bandwidth can enjoy HD quality, while others, including external
participants and those in rural markets or with limited Internet
access, see the best quality video possible.
“Cloud
computing and dynamic video coding are ushering in a new era in business
video conferencing – instead of changing the customer network to match
fixed bitrate encoders, the video conferencing application now adapts
to the network,” said Allen Drennan, Nefsis chief technology officer.
“You can still use dedicated routes and private virtual circuits
for rooms and specific users to guarantee HD quality, but it is no longer
a requirement.”
The Nefsis global cloud uses variable bitrate encoding, with a
customer option to select H.264 encoding and decoding. In addition,
the cloud incorporates automated bandwidth throttling and multicore
CPU balancing, which optimize
multipoint
video and live sharing quality within the boundaries of availability.
Nefsis meters bandwidth on a per connection basis in real-time, adapting
as needed to changing network conditions.
In addition to automated bandwidth throttling, Nefsis includes
administrative controls allowing IT staff to set system-wide and
per-user limits, overriding any user selections or automated video
quality improvements.
The new enhancements are immediately available to all Nefsis
customers and free trial users. For a free 14-day trial of Nefsis
Professional, visit Nefsis.com.
