How Nefsis Multipont Video Works: Cloud Computing Meets Parallel Processing
Web and multiparty video conferencing is uniquely dependent on
high-performance and low round-trip latency among all the components in your conference.
Nefsis addresses every component involved to ensure the best interactivity among all
participants. In particular, the distributed Nefsis cloud and end-to-end parallel
processing technologies are years ahead of the competition.
Cloud Computing
Nefsis
provides a true, massively distributed cloud for unrivaled quality in multipoint
video conferencing. The Nefsis cloud constantly adapts to changing conditions on
the Internet, as well as your local network, delivering the highest quality experience
possible for your multipoint video conference.
Some products claiming to be a 'cloud' are really
just a large centralized data center supplying a service,
without any of the benefits of cloud-based service distribution.
A true cloud, like Nefsis, offloads and distributes the
experience across the Web.
Nefsis does this by using a massive network of
distributed computers to ensure the highest quality video
conferencing experience; minimizing latency while delivering all
the benefits of load-balancing, failover, and the scalability
that true cloud architecture provides.
Because low latency is so critical in video and VoIP conferencing,
the goal at Nefsis is to provide sub-30ms response time for every conference participant
by expanding our distributed network to the far reaches of the globe.
Security is our highest priority. All connections are made through your
firewall, over an SSL3/TLS secure connection to an access point. Your entry point to
the Nefsis cloud changes constantly, adapting to network conditions, in order to provide
the fastest connection possible.
Unlimited scalability is ensured. New access points in the Nefsis
distributed system can be added quickly to provide additional capacity, or coverage to
new geographic regions.
The
Nefsis cloud is substantially different than any other multipoint
video conference product available today. Because most
other conference providers use a centralized data center (or
on-premise MCU or MUX), they cannot adjust to changing Internet
conditions or geographic availability to provide the best
conference experience possible.
These centralized data centers, by definition,
are not physically close to a broad base of users, thereby increasing
overall latency and causing major reductions in the quality of video '
(lower frames, lower resolution) and an increase in VoIP delay and
jitter. The Nefsis massively-distributed cloud solves all these issues,
utilizing the industry's first true cloud-based delivery platform
for multipoint video conferencing applications.
Parallel Processing
Is your conferencing solution only
leveraging one core of your multi-core processor?
If your conferencing application was built using traditional
programming practices, then you're probably not leveraging the
full capabilities of your computer. Today's computers have
multiple processor cores but most conferencing applications were
designed to use only a single core. Nefsis is the first
multipoint video conferencing application to fully leverage all
the cores of your computer, no matter how many. Nefsis was
designed from the bottom-up as a completely parallel processing
application. In Nefsis, each of its discrete functional areas is
an independent piece of logic, working together to form a fluid
experience as they are distributed evenly across all available
cores in your computer.
Each
of the various Nefsis capabilities, including video, audio
(VoIP), and sharing, are distributed across all the cores of each
conference participant. As new and more powerful computers arrive
on the scene, you don't have to upgrade your software to expand
the capabilities of Nefsis.
Nefsis will automatically provide higher resolutions,
including resolutions for HD
video conferencing, and at higher frame rates with more conference
participants as your computing power grows. This is how Nefsis
rivals the most expensive telepresence systems available today, but
accomplishes it in a software application that can easily be upgraded
and improved without the cost of replacing expensive equipment.
In order to fully scale their capabilities across multiple
cores, every other major video conferencing solution in the market will
need to redesign their applications to take into account multi-core,
parallel programming. Nefsis is already years ahead in this
process.
MMX Processor Extensions
In addition to multi-core technology, Nefsis fully leverages all of
the MMX capabilities of your CPU, including SSE2 to SSE4. This
significantly improves the multimedia experience, by reducing
overall processor requirements for encoding and decoding of video,
audio, and sharing.
The processing power of the Intel Pentium® and future
multi-core computers is awesome in comparison to past computers - even
outstripping the performance of dedicated video coder/decoders and
multiplexers. In most corporate environments, the technology
refresh cycle for desktop PCs is faster than self-contained boardroom
video conferencing systems. In short; with the Nefsis parallel processing
software-as-a-service, your desktop has greater performance capabilities
than many boardroom video conferencing systems, and will keep pace with
technological advances in the normal course of updating desktop computers
in your organization.
