Sify Technologies Limited and Vidyo, Inc have announced the launch of Sify videomeet, a new-generation Video Conferencing-as-a-Service for enterprises and emerging businesses. This service, powered by Vidyo, allows users to initiate and experience high-definition (HD), multi-point video collaboration beyond conventional conference rooms, without dedicated networks and on multiple devices – mobile phones, tablets, desktops, laptops and room systems.
This service offers a telepresence-quality experience to users on the move, from any device (mobile/tablet/laptop). The highlight of this offering is the seamless adaptability to network vagaries.
Enterprises having legacy video conferencing infrastructure can seamlessly adopt Sify Video Conferencing-as-a-Service without any new capital investment to empower their remote locations with this enterprise grade HD quality collaboration tool. For emerging businesses, this service enables enterprise-class HD video conferencing without any capital investment and empowers them with a powerful and affordable video collaboration tool.
Sify videomeet will enable emerging businesses and enterprises to have video conferencing at less than Rs. 3 per minute. Customers could pay a fixed rental for getting unlimited video conferencing access or avail the ‘pay-per-use’ option. This service also eliminates the need for a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) or any other video conferencing device at the premises of the customer, thereby reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Sify’s technology partner, Vidyo, enables natural, affordable and universal video communications over the Internet, Long Term Evolution (LTE), and 4G networks at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Vidyo’s solution is software-based and can be easily expanded, upgraded and customized for individual enterprise and vertical market video conferencing needs.
