VBrick Systems Rides High On The Enterprise Video Promise

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent research from Frost & Sullivan on the video transcoders market finds that the robust demand for video-based applications across enterprise segments has fuelled more than 20 percent annual growth in 2008 in the enterprise video transcoders market. Frost & Sullivan expects this market, despite being challenged by the economy, to grow at a healthy double digit compound annual growth rate from 2009 to 2015.

While the market features a number of vendors all vying for leadership status, Frost & Sullivan has concluded that VBrick Systems leads the market in providing Enterprise Video Streaming Solutions. "Few vendors have a robust suite of solutions that can enable acquisition to delivery of live and on-demand video over local area as well as wide area networks," says Vidya S. Nath, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "VBrick Systems has been one of a few companies to realize the opportunity in this market and has consistently grown and evolved with products to solve the segment's challenges."

Reaching the largest audience necessary in the most efficient manner is paramount for organizations looking at controlling costs in today's troubled economy. Enterprise video applications are now increasingly seen as a "must have" by organizations across verticals looking at communicating critical messages to facilitate effective communication within the enterprise and with external stakeholders.

Similarly, the ubiquity of broadband access and inexpensive means of video acquisition have led to a proliferation of video usage within other segments as well, such as government and public agencies, education, healthcare, hospitality, religious institutions, and the like.

However, to easily create and deliver high-quality video content across various applications, and broadcast it to a myriad set of devices, enterprises need to deploy an efficient suite of solutions at the back-end."What commands attention is VBrick's ability to grow despite the pressures of rising competition, growing customer complexities, and as of late, the economic slowdown," adds Nath.

VBrick has continued its legacy of leadership with 6,000 customers and 60,000 installations worldwide to date. Not only has VBrick stepped up to the needs of distributing video in multiple formats over different networks, but it also offers a suite of enterprise IP video solutions that encompass ingest to delivery of video, including media management software, encoding appliances, video reflecting technology, video-on-demand servers, software players and hardware decoders. With such a versatile portfolio of products, VBrick has enabled its customers across different segments to achieve critical objectives, including fostering company culture, improving the learning experience, faster time for decision-making, promoting safety, and savings in travel expenses.

"To be recognized as a leader in the enterprise IP video solution market by Frost & Sullivan marks an important milestone in our strategy to provide powerful, easy-to-use video streaming solutions," explains Vince Graziani, Chief Executive Officer, VBrick. "We will continue to make strategic partnerships with technology leaders and develop advances in our product suite that will strengthen our play in the Enterprise IP Video market."
