Polycom, a unified communications provider, is now offering cloud-delivered, Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) through service providers. Polycom RealPresence Cloud is a wholesale carrier-ready offering designed for service providers to equip them with the carrier-grade infrastructure, endpoints, and services. The subscription-based solution is ideal for companies of any size interested in either a hybrid of premises-based video collaboration and video on demand, or a pure VaaS offering.
Powered by the Polycom RealPresence Platform, RealPresence Cloud supports a multitude of connectivity options between standards-based room, mobile, PC, and Web-based endpoints, as well as Microsoft Lync 2010, IBM Sametime, and endpoints supporting the non-standard TIP protocol. Service providers can offer Polycom RealPresence Cloud to their customers without having to fully integrate and support the core infrastructure on-premises by leveraging the RealPresence Network, fast tracking video from the cloud.
The Polycom RealPresence Cloud offerings are available immediately, limited to qualified service providers. For more information, visit the Polycom site.
