SAN FRANCISCO– December 27, 2012 Constellation Research, Inc. the research and advisory firm focused on disruptive technologies today announced the publication of "Pervasive Video in the Enterprise” by Constellation Vice President and Principal Analyst, Dr. Brent Kelly. This research report examines the impact pervasive desktop video will have on the enterprise network and the subsequent total cost of ownership (TCO) an enterprise will experience when deploying desktop video across multiple sites.
This report describes solutions from Cisco, Microsoft, Polycom, Avaya and Vidyo, comparing scalable architectures and performance. For each of these solutions a detailed spreadsheet is included that illustrates the total costs – hardware, software, and networking – over three years for scenarios ranging from 1000 to 10,000 video users. It examines the impact scalable video coding and cascaded multipoint video conferences have on TCO. Based on these findings, it is clear that hardware-based MCUs will have a diminishing role as video becomes pervasive in the enterprise, replaced by media routers.
“Video is becoming more and more important as an enterprise communications channel,” Dr. Kelly said. “Any laptop, tablet, or mobile device with a built-in video camera can now act as a video endpoint. As video-enabled devices proliferate in the enterprise, it is critical for organizations to get a handle on how they will properly scale and control video and how it will be integrated in to the overall enterprise communications fabric.”
This report fits into Constellation’s business-focused research themes:
- Future of Work
- Technology Optimization & Innovation
- Consumerization of IT & The New C-Suite
