SAN FRANCISCO -- (Business Wire)
Avistar Communications Corporation (www.avistar.com),
a leader in unified visual communications solutions, announced today at Citrix
Synergy™ 2012 (Booth # 607) that it is demonstrating the Avistar C3
Conference™ solution capable of delivering continuous presence
multiparty videoconferencing, interoperability and virtualization
features to Microsoft Lync users.
The Avistar C3 Conference™ solution is designed to expand the
capabilities of the Microsoft Lync unified communications (UC) platform,
while enabling clients and partners to enhance their UC features within
a virtualized server environment, such as Citrix XenServer®. As the
solution is based entirely on an all-software design, it can be deployed
using standards-based hardware, on premises or within a cloud
environment.
Additionally, the Avistar solution supports both room-based H.264 and
Microsoft Lync-based RT media streams. This is important as the Avistar
C3 Conference solution enables clients and partners to design a scalable
and economical interoperability strategy between their conference room
video solutions and their RT endpoints. This is achieved by seamlessly
and simultaneously processing media streams between H.264 and RT
endpoints. In addition to these processing capabilities, the Avistar
solution enhances the Lync user experience by providing continuous
presence multiparty layouts within the client itself.
“Avistar has taken a smart approach to extending the multiparty and
interoperability capabilities of Microsoft Lync,” said Ira M. Weinstein,
a senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research and a 20-year veteran
of the conferencing, collaboration and audio-visual industries. “The
solution is ideal for businesses that are looking to provide a more
immersive continuous presence multiparty videoconferencing experience to
their Lync users, while providing an economical, scalable and
software-based RT/H.264 interoperability solution between their Lync
platform and videoconferencing room deployments. It’s a win/win for the
industry as the Avistar solution extends the benefits and value of the
Microsoft Lync solution, while providing enterprise businesses better
leveragability of their current videoconferencing and UC assets.”
Stephen
Epstein, CMO, Avistar, said, “The Microsoft Lync platform is
emerging as a leading UC solution within our industry. As adoption of
this UC solution grows rapidly, Avistar is very much focused on
broadening our all-software platform to allow our clients and partners
to fully leverage their UC and virtualization investments. Thus, it was
an easy decision to extend the capabilities of the Avistar C3 Conference
solution and provide the Microsoft Lync platform with additional
capabilities and value.”
Epstein concluded, “With the demonstration of these capabilities at
Citrix Synergy and beta trials starting shortly thereafter, we expect to
see this solution very well received in the market and especially within
the Microsoft Lync client base. The solution will be generally available
later this year as beta trials conclude and production deployments
commence.”

platform, visit Avistar at Citrix Synergy 2012, booth # 607.
