Trio in alliance
Polycom has announced two new interoperable solutions with HP and Microsoft that combine Polycom RealPresence video solutions, HP Networking technology and services, and Microsoft Lync with joint reference architectures. Together, they make it easier to deliver, scale and manage UC environments that keep employees connected via video, voice and other communications apps from anywhere. The solutions bring together the key elements of UC and video collaboration, from the networking and UC platform to high-quality video infrastructure and systems, enabling businesses to reduce total cost of ownership and allowing end-users to participate in face-to-face meetings anytime, across any environment.
"Together with HP and Microsoft, Polycom is delivering interoperable solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts: they combine best-of-breed video collaboration capabilities and tested interoperability from three industry leaders to make it easier to deliver, scale, and manage all the disparate applications and components of unified communications. We are hearing from organizations around the world that video collaboration is a mission-critical part of how they run their businesses. Whether it is speeding time-to-market for a manufacturing company, consulting with a specialist over telemedicine, or supporting distance learning, our compelling solutions are changing how people collaborate and work," said Sue Hayden, Executive Vice-President, Strategic Alliances, Polycom.
"Video in multiple forms is driving network traffic growth as clients increasingly use video on laptops, smartphones, and tablets, in addition to room-based videoconferencing. The joint Rich Media Communications solution from HP, Polycom, and Microsoft provide clients a scalable, open architecture for easy deployment and simplify management across the UC environment, lowering their total cost of ownership," said Mike Banic, Vice-President, Global Marketing, Networking, HP.
"Customers are increasingly realizing the benefits of virtual meetings. Polycom and HP are delivering rich communication and productivity-enhanced video and UC solutions that help customers avoid expensive upgrades and enable functionality. Customers can now further reduce complexity and costs, utilize an open platform, and more rapidly tap into the power of visual collaboration," said Giovanni Mezgec, General Manager, Lync, Microsoft Corp.
