Polycom introduces the RealPresence CloudAxis Suite-- a cloud-based RealPresence platform extension enabling Video Collaboration-as-a-Service (VCaaS) through a number of B2C video chat solutions, including Skype, Facebook and Google Talk.
Available for RealPresence deployments within either private or public clouds, CloudAxis allows users to simply drag and drop contacts from all systems into a video conference, providing contacts with an invitation link to a browser-based conference room complete with all Polycom enterprise-grade conferencing features.
The RealPresence platform also has a number of changes-- including the implementation of standards-based Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technology, a new version of Polycom UX and an enhanced next-generation video endpoints portfolio.
The CloudAxis suite will be available from Q1 2013.
