SAN DIEGO — November 10, 2011 — Online services innovator
Nefsis® released today highlights of its corporate information
technology (IT) benefits of replacing complex, labor intensive video
conferencing infrastructure hardware with scalable and automatically
maintained communications online services. One of the primary
drivers behind cloud computing and virtualization is cost reduction
through shared resources. Nefsis offers IT staff the benefits of
automating maintenance, worry-free expansion via click of a mouse,
and the management controls made possible by moving video
conferencing away from hardware-centric infrastructure components
with long break-fix cycles to scalable, load-balanced online
services.
Most market researchers forecast increasing adoption of video
conferencing among business users driven in part by rising fuel
costs, travel limitations, bandwidth availability, and spill-over
from consumer video calling. Many business users have seen boardroom
video conferencing installations, and the application itself is well
known. Known to a much lesser extent is the increasing burden placed
on IT staff as business installations expand from simple two-point
boardroom systems to many endpoints, desktop participants, encrypted
connections, and web collaboration tools – requiring expensive
infrastructure components and hands-on maintenance.
Nefsis effectively removes these components by providing the same
capabilities through virtualization and cloud computing technology.
The latter offers IT staff automated maintenance, load balancing,
and scalability — features simply unavailable from hardware-centric
vendors prevalent in previous generations. Moving video conferencing
from static, fixed-hardware, fixed-route applications —
sometimes called ‘monolithic’ applications —
to the ‘cloud’ is especially beneficial to IT staff
interested in service oriented architectures (SOA) and better
business/IT alignment. Now, video conferencing can be managed at
a much higher level, complete with management controls
covering users, features,
security,
bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) and more.
“As
business video conferencing adoption grows, so too the need
for delivering a complete solution for IT staff including scalable
video that operates over existing networks, automated maintenance,
easy expansion, and a complete IT toolset,” said Tom Toperczer,
Nefsis Vice President of Marketing. “The Nefsis cloud provides
all the above from a global online service that has been tested and
proven by our customers, and is available now.”
A full-featured, free trial of Nefsis Professional is available
at the Nefsis website. Nefsis Professional supports
desktop and multipurpose conference room audio/video peripherals,
multipoint HD video, and integrated web
collaboration tools. Nefsis Professional makes it easy to
pilot almost any video conferencing application in minutes.
