Irwin Lazar shares some perspective about the video market space.

“In addition to LifeSize, Glowpoint and Acme Packet announced a partnership to bring Acme’s session border controllers to Glowpoints B2B video conferencing platform. We see strong interest in extranet video conferencing, especially for those making investments in immersive telepresence. Extending video conferencing beyond the firewall increases the value of a telepresence investment by broadening access to business partners and customers, increasing opportunities to leverage telepresence for both travel avoidance as well as to improve overall meeting experiences.”

Maurice Saluan shares some tips on how to transition customers to a private cloud environment.

“Clients can move resources to the cloud in small steps, perhaps starting out with storage and backup and recovery. Later, as existing equipment ages and needs to be replaced, the MSP can replace desktops with thin clients and physical servers with virtual servers that cost a fraction of the price of new hardware in addition to lowering power and cooling costs. The physical footprint also is reduced, further lowering overhead costs.”
