Today telepresence and videoconferencing provider Vidyo officially released a virtualized version of the Vidyo router , their key piece of video network infrastructure that allows formulti-point conferences without the latency of traditionalvideoconferencing MCUs. Unlike traditional videoconferencing MCUswhich must decode a video stream, composite multiple streams into asingle versions with everyone visible, and then encode and send thenew image to all sites, the Vidyo router serves as more of a"traffic cop" directing the multiple streams to their destinationand allowing the Vidyo software client (running on smartphones,tablets, PCs, laptops, and dedicated room systems) to assemble themultiple streams into whatever format the participant desires. Vidyo has virtualized this router to run on either publiclyavailable cloud computing services like those offered by Amazon orRackspace OR private cloud services run on a company's own datacenter. Vidyo's other big announcement today was a new reseller program that allows service providers to resellVidyo's services to organizations looking to deploy videoconferencing but notinterested in provisioning, patching, and hosting video networkinfrastructure. Virtualization of the Vidyo Router - We covered and tested a virtualized version of the Vidyo router inNovember of 2011 when it was announced . Traditionally, multi-point videoconferencing has been enabled byspecialized pieces of video network infrastructure calledMulti-Point Control Units (MCUs) that require power, pipe,rackspace, and babysitting. Upgrading capacity meant additionalMCUs and/or MCU ports. Vidyo has virtualized this capability intoa piece of software that can run on cloud computing services indifferent parts of the world as needed. Need more seats? Needgeographical diversity for your Singapore office? Simply spin up anew license on a cloud service provider (or in your own datacenter)in whatever part of the world you need. Because the Vidyo clientruns H.264 SVC the video stream is more tolerant of bumpy networkslike the Internet so you can use a low-cost internet connection vs.some visual collaboration solutions that require dedicated QoSnetwork connections. Vidyo's New Reseller Program Vidyo's other major announcement was a new reseller program that uniquely createsa two-tiered system of resellers remarkably similar to multi-levelmarketing . In Vidyo's previous reseller program the reseller needed to hostVidyo infrastructure to support customers. In the new program,Vidyo is deputizing a new tier of reseller, called a VirtualNetwork Operator, with the ability to resell the service withouthaving to support the service. In a conversation with Vidyo CEOOfer Shapiro, Ofer identified regional telephony carriers andbusiness-class VoIP suppliers as the main targets of the newprogram. "We wanted to give these partners the opportunity toco-brand or private label high-quality videoconferencing servicesand even build the capabilities into their own applications". Theservice is expected to cost individual companies around $30 permonth per user and .20 per minute for each guest on a legacy basedsystem joining a conference.
