The traditional PBX has given way to server-based voice systems, and wireless networking has stretched the paradigm even further. Enter both the cloud and mobile apps, and we have RingCentral’s latest strike in the battle for ever-more-powerful business communications.Blue Jeans’ New Pricing Dubbed An ‘MCU Killer’
April 03, 2012 09:00 AM
Blue Jeans Network, which offers videoconferencing in the cloud, has introduced a new pricing model targeted as a direct broadside to expensive systems from vendors such as Cisco Systems and Polycom. It will now offer its service at a rate of $299 per port, per month, which should be dramatically less expensive that those competitors that sell customers a multipoint control unit (MCU) to install and maintain on the customers’ premises. Blue Jeans calls this strategy an “MCU Killer.”HP-Polycom Partnership May Boost Lync Adoption

A new study shows that companies are expanding their use of videoconferencing, but many worry that they may not be able to keep up with the network bandwidth demands of the technology. The concerns are documented in a survey that looks at three networking-related issues: video, cloud computing and application management. In the first of a three-part series, Network Computing looks at videoconferencing and the network.New Polycom Videoconference System Comes With Microsoft Lync

Video conference technology provider Polycom adds to its lineup of HD telepresence systems in a battle for dominance against Cisco Systems, especially in the wake of Cisco's acquisition of Tandberg. Polycom is introducing the OTX 300 Immersive Telepresence product. Telepresence provides a high-end video that aims to duplicate the experience of being in the same room for participants in separate locations.

Of all the collaboration methods available to business workers, it's hard to beat face-to-face interaction. Three products from Polycom aim to put videoconferencing capabilities within the reach of small and medium-size businesses, and with video calls that start at 256Kbps, most networks should be able to easily handle the additional traffic. We looked at three systems all designed for IP networks. The HDX 6000 is a high-definition conference-room style video conferencing system. The QDX 6000 is its standard counterpart. We also looked at a product for desktop videoconferencing, the Converged Management Application (CMA) Server and its client component. CMA clients can conference with both the HDX and QDX 6000.1 | 2 | 3 | Next Page »
