Nefsis Video Conferencing Reports 90% of
Customers Opt
for its Cloud-Based Offering versus On-Premise
Alternatives — Up from 50% in 2008
SAN DIEGO — June 30, 2011 — Online services innovator
Nefsis® reported today on the continuing shift from premise-based
infrastructure to cloud-based video conferencing
solutions among business customers. Nefsis offers multipoint HD
video conferencing for desktops and rooms, with built-in advanced
collaboration tools. The Company’s technology is available via
cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery and on-premise
installable software alternatives. Nefsis reports its product mix
has grown to 90% in favor of cloud-based delivery.
“Of course our own customer base isn’t necessarily
representative of the broad market, but our product mix is an
interesting data point because it’s the same software,
whether running on our cloud or customer-provided servers. 90%
pick ‘cloud,’ up from 50% three years ago,”
said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis Vice President of Marketing.
“We attribute this growth to the customer benefits of
cloud computing: it’s far less expensive and easier to
expand versus infrastructure hardware alternatives such as
video routers, multichannel units, and gateway servers,”
he elaborated.
Nefsis represents a new approach to multiparty
business video conferencing, where just an online service
subscription and
any
webcam or video peripheral is all that is needed for successful
conferences. It takes only minutes for a conference host to activate
an account, invited participants merely click on a web link. The
latest software-based technologies such as cloud computing, scalable
video and automated bandwidth throttling provide the best quality
video possible over existing networks, up to and including multipoint
HD. “Matching endpoint equipment and ‘speeds and
feeds’ is a complexity of the past, making video conferencing
much easier today,” remarked Mr. Toperczer.
The Company’s technology can be deployed as an
online service
and on-premise,
single- or multiple-server configurations, providing the full
spectrum of pure, hybrid, and private cloud options. Nefsis
expects to continue offering the latter to satisfy a long list of
specialty requirements including customer PKI integration, UC
integration, mixed wireline and satellite VPNs, and anywhere IT
staff require more detailed controls over routing, access, and
security.
