Avistar变革统一通信“体验质量”

9月16日，Avistar宣布合作伙伴关系，为IBM统一通信和协作解决方案提供带宽管理技术。最近，我有幸与Avistar的首席执行官Simon Moss和首席营销官Stephen Epstein聊到了他们公司在统一通信“体验质量”领域令人兴奋的新进展。UC(统一通信)和融合领域的不幸现实是，由于体验质量差，许多用户对正在部署的新技术“关闭”了。Avistar的Stephen Epstein描述了现代基于ip的统一通信系统中的大量潜在瓶颈。从端点到本地网络、广域网络以及两者之间的所有设备，都有可能出现包丢失、延迟和其他常见的ip相关问题。虽然其他应用程序可以维持这种网络不一致，但视频会议不能。这就是阿维斯塔技术真正的闪光点。自近15-20年前专有视频会议开始以来，Avistar提供了质量保证技术，以改善和增强终端用户体验。由于大多数专有的视频会议硬件已经移植到更“开放”的软件平台上，Avistar已经调整了他们的技术以适应新的环境。Avistar的技术利用端到端环境的动态监控，提供更好的终端用户体验。 This can include many factors, including: - IP network quality (packet loss, delay, etc) - Endpoint performance (memory, video performance, etc) Using a dynamic algorithm, Avistar's software reacts to deficiencies or problems in the network or the endpoints, and modifies frame rates or other variables. The use of "class of user" environments can be implemented as well to provide different levels of QoE to several sets of users. Avistar's C3 platform utilizes special dynamic network and bandwidth management technology to achieve significantly better end user experience without additional network capacity. With the new partnership with IBM, Avistar is integrating their proven technologies into multiple platforms so that more users across more platforms can utilize this important technology. I asked Simon Moss and Stephen Epstein from Avistar about the specifics of the IBM integration deal. Specifically, I wanted to know how Avistar planned to integrate their technologies into IBM's existing UC suite. Avistar and IBM are working to merge their products and technology suites to IBM's standards, including the integration, QA, and packaging processes. This type of cutting edge technology is very promising in the convergence and UC markets. Avistar aims to significantly enhance the QoE (Quality of Experience) for end users, and to do so transparently to the user. With the new integration deal with IBM in place, Avistar is on the fast-track to changing the landscape of UC quality as we know it.
