POLYCOM DELIVERS HD VIDEO CONFERENCING MEDIA SERVER FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES AND DISTRIBUTED VIDEO NETWORKS
Announcement posted by Polycom 28 Aug 2008
performance multipoint video conferencing
capabilities in house. The plug-and-play platform is easy to deploy and
contains on-board capabilities for centralised scheduling and management.
For larger organisations, the RMX 1000 allows IT leaders to cost-effectively extend visual communication
resources to the network edge in a distributed network environment.
Complementing the existing Polycom RMX 2000, which would typically be deployed
in the central office, the RMX 1000 would be deployed at smaller, regional
offices. This distributed network design provides redundancy for continuity of
operations, greater scalability and efficiency as well as minimises latency for
video calls initiated from regional offices. The entire distributed network
environment (endpoints, infrastructure and conferences) can be managed
centrally through Polycom’s new Converged
Management Application™ (CMA™) or ReadiManager™
SE 200. (See additional press release issued today titled: “Polycom
Simplifies Enterprise-Wide Visual Communication with New Network Management and
Desktop Video Solution”)

MSRP of US$27,000. Polycom solutions are available through certified Polycom
channel partners.
