Business Wire
Avistar Communications Corporation (www.avistar.com), a leader
in unified visual communications solutions, announced today at
Citrix Synergy™ 2012 (Booth # 607) that it is demonstrating the
Avistar C3 Conference™ solution capable of delivering continuous
presence multiparty videoconferencing, interoperability and
virtualization features to Microsoft Lync users.
The Avistar C3 Conference™ solution is designed to expand the
capabilities of the Microsoft Lync unified communications (UC)
platform, while enabling clients and partners to enhance their UC
features within a virtualized server environment, such as Citrix
XenServer®. As the solution is based entirely on an all-software
design, it can be deployed using standards-based hardware, on
premises or within a cloud environment.
Additionally, the Avistar solution supports both room-based
H.264 and Microsoft Lync-based RT media streams. This is important
as the Avistar C3 Conference solution enables clients and partners
to design a scalable and economical interoperability strategy
between their conference room video solutions and their RT
endpoints. This is achieved by seamlessly and simultaneously
processing media streams between H.264 and RT endpoints. In
addition to these processing capabilities, the Avistar solution
enhances the Lync user experience by providing continuous presence
multiparty layouts within the client itself.
“Avistar has taken a smart approach to extending the multiparty
and interoperability capabilities of Microsoft Lync,” said Ira M.
Weinstein, a senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research and a
20-year veteran of the conferencing, collaboration and audio-visual
industries. “The solution is ideal for businesses that are looking
to provide a more immersive continuous presence multiparty
videoconferencing experience to their Lync users, while providing
an economical, scalable and software-based RT/H.264
interoperability solution between their Lync platform and
videoconferencing room deployments. It’s a win/win for the industry
as the Avistar solution extends the benefits and value of the
Microsoft Lync solution, while providing enterprise businesses
better leveragability of their current videoconferencing and UC
assets.”
Stephen Epstein, CMO, Avistar, said, “The Microsoft Lync
platform is emerging as a leading UC solution within our industry.
As adoption of this UC solution grows rapidly, Avistar is very much
focused on broadening our all-software platform to allow our
clients and partners to fully leverage their UC and virtualization
investments. Thus, it was an easy decision to extend the
capabilities of the Avistar C3 Conference solution and provide the
Microsoft Lync platform with additional capabilities and
value.”
Epstein concluded, “With the demonstration of these capabilities
at Citrix Synergy and beta trials starting shortly thereafter, we
expect to see this solution very well received in the market and
especially within the Microsoft Lync client base. The solution will
be generally available later this year as beta trials conclude and
production deployments commence.”
