VIA3 Cloud Eliminates the Hidden Costs of Business Video Conferencing

VIA3 states that its cloud-based technology is an effective tool to eliminate the hidden costs of business video conferencing infrastructure. Point-to-point, boardroom video conferencing systems prevalent during the previous two decades were simply not designed to support demand from entire employee populations. As these hardware-based systems grow to more than four simultaneous participants – the typical built-in port capacity today – the hidden cost of additional video switching and multipoint control units (MCU) appears. VIA3 uses virtualization technology in a true cloud to provide multipoint video, thus eliminating the cost of these fixed-capacity MCUs and providing easy scalability for VIA3 customers.

As video conferencing is largely expected to grow – over 50% of employee populations by some analyst estimates – it becomes extremely costly to provide multipoint video switching and mixing via traditional, premise-based MCUs. The price for the hardware alone varies from a few thousand dollars for entry-level units up to $50,000 for larger port capacities. These up-front costs are eliminated when deploying VIA3 that provides the same multipoint video capabilities using software-based technology and cloud computing.

The scope of business video conferencing is clearly growing beyond the boardroom. Cloud-based solutions eliminate the hidden costs of video switching equipment and multichannel units for active customers. Depending on the size of your company's application, the initial savings and avoiding future port capacity expansions may be substantial.

The cloud-based advantages described above are standard features of VIA3, available now. For a free trial of VIA3, please visit VIA3 Free Trial.
