Polycom announced the launch of Polycom RealPresence Platform,
a comprehensive software infrastructure for universal video collaboration. The
Polycom RealPresence Platform is the software infrastructure that powers
Polycom’s market-leading HD telepresence and video solutions.
The unique open-standards approach of the Polycom
RealPresence Platform ensures integration with hundreds of unified
communications and social networking applications, such as Microsoft Lync 2010,
IBM Sametime, and Jive’s social business platform.
In addition, the RealPresence Platform integrates with
core networking and security infrastructure to deliver secure collaboration
with any number of people across heterogeneous networks with up to 50 percent
less bandwidth consumption than other solutions.
The PolycomRealPresence
Platform also provides security, reliability, management, and massive
scalability to support video as a cloud-based service to enterprises, SMBs, and
consumers.
“Businesses and governments alike are seeking
increased productivity and efficiency through the fast adoption of UC solutions
that truly unify multi-vendor communications and collaboration environments.
Polycom’s platform, through deep integration with our broad partner ecosystem,
enables unified communications that span desktop, mobility, and group settings
in a way that’s unmatched in the industry,” said Andy Miller, president
and CEO, Polycom.
“With our open standards-based platform,
innovation-rich devices, broad service offerings, and native application
interoperability, Polycom is playing an integral role in enabling what promises
to be the network effect of video collaboration for hundreds of millions of
individuals worldwide,” Miller added.
The functional modules of the RealPresence Platform include:
software for multipoint video, voice, and content
collaboration that connects multiple protocols, enabling people and content to
connect at the highest quality for the lowest cost.
Software to centrally manage, monitor, and deliver video
collaboration across an organization.
Software that easily and securely connects video
participants inside and outside the organization while optimizing for the best
collaboration experience, whether delivered within the enterprise,
business-to-business, or business-to-consumer.
Software for secure video capture (recording and
playback) as well as content management, administration, and delivery of video
content.
Recently Polycom and the International Virtual e-Hospital
(IVeH) have partnered
on a new model that enables medical professionals to collaborate via video and
share their expertise across 35 healthcare and academic institutions globally,
thanks to Polycom video collaboration program that has helped rebuild Kosovo’s
medical system.
The model is now being deployed more broadly in new
regions outside the Balkans including Africa, the Middle East, South Eastern
Europe, and South America.
