Logicalis UK Launches ImmersiV - a Consumption-Based 'Video as a Service' Portfolio From Desktop to Telepresence
SLOUGH, England, July 5, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Video-as-a-Service Accelerates Adoption, Exploitation and Expansion of
Consumption-Based Secure Business Video
Logicalis UK, today announced the launch of ImmersiV, a complete
portfolio of cloud hosted, Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) offerings, bringing
quality, on demand, consumption-based services to the enterprise. With high
definition quality desktop video services starting at under GBP30 per month
per user, ImmersiV is designed to accelerate and simplify the adoption,
exploitation and expansion of business video.
The new portfolio includes Video-to-Video Bridging (VtoV), Secure Video
Meeting Rooms, Logicalis' own Managed Video Network (MVN), and a personal
video assistant, the VideoPA. Organisations can pay for video to match their
exact usage needs, and can access services such as external bridging to
other organisations without having to build their own discreet
infrastructure.
"Video is now considered a truly beneficial business productivity tool,"
commented Tom Kelly, managing director of Logicalis UK, "whether for busy
executives saving time on travel, meeting more customers and suppliers
face-to-face, or using video to positively impact complex business processes
such as supply chain management, the benefit of video is no longer in
question. The only question many users now have is how quickly can I adopt
video and how can I pay for it without having to commit to a large capital
purchase?
'ImmersiV brings a simple consumption-based model to video use, and
further demonstrates our continued commitment to enable customers to only
have to pay for what they use, and consume IT in new and innovative ways. We
want to encourage users to adopt widespread video, and do so with minimal
impact on their capital budget or strain on their IT department or IT
infrastructure. Logicalis ImmersiV makes high quality video financially and
technically viable for even the smallest of organisations."
The services are available immediately for desktop users, small, medium
and large room systems, and Telepresence suites. The full suite of ImmersiV
services are delivered from Logicalis' UK-based cloud platform, and include:
- ImmersiV - suite of endpoints, out-of-band network and
external bridging provided as a service offers immediate business video
value with minimal IT department impact.
- ImmersiV VtoV - Secure hosted internal and external bridging
(VtoV) and secure virtual rooms - connects users with suppliers and
customers and provides access to secure virtual rooms for multi-user
video conferencing.
- ImmersiV Managed Video Network - reduces the need for time
consuming and expensive network upgrades - guaranteeing Quality of
Experience (QoE) when the existing network is not tuned for video
services.
- ImmersiV VideoPA - full service management of users' total video
experience.
"With ImmersiV, a month's high quality video service to the desktop is
now considerably less expensive than a standard return journey between
Manchester and London, and executives recognise that by not leveraging video
in normal business practice they are wasting valuable time and money,"
commented Damien Hicks, director of video services at Logicalis UK. "But,
video isn't simply about saving bottom line business costs, or not having to
wait about in airport lounges. Extending an individual's presence from their
desk or a video room system can dramatically improve customer engagement and
customer satisfaction.
'Organisations can now adopt high definition video, as a full service,
and can directly compare the monthly cost of video enablement with the cost
of a single rail ticket, demonstrating tangible financial and productivity
ROI in the first month. With ImmersiV there is no added strain on the IT
department, and if the customer's network is not suitable for video, we can
enable immediate video adoption on our managed video network. This new
portfolio is the fastest and most efficient way of making video an immersive
business tool."
Built on Cisco/Tandberg video infrastructure, and leveraging high
definition MOVI desktop solutions for individual users, the VaaS solution
from Logicalis is a totally integrated turn-key video environment.
