OKI Electric Launches Visual Nexus Video Conference System
July 30th, 2008 by Video Conferencing Expert
Oki Electric Industry, Japan’s first telecommunications company, has just announced its launch of Visual Nexus, the newest version of its video conferencing system. The new release includes enhanced functions for large-scale video conferences. The system also includes a multi-tenant function that enables video conferences to be operated through application service providers, and a server load dispersion function to allow larger, smoother video conference presentations.
Visual Nexus Company President, Atsuhisa Suzuki:
This new Visual Nexus is a perfect solution for companies seeking to reduce their traveling costs at a time when oil prices are surging. Companies already equipped with video conferencing systems are also likely to expand their systems with the increase in usage. The Visual Nexus Ver3.2-3 responds to this trend, offering a highly stable system to process large amounts of data as operations expand. With the new functions, OKI enables companies and service providers to maximize system operation efficiency and reduce system operating costs.
The three main additions in this new release include:
1. Enhancement on basic functions for large-scale operation, allowing the system to register up to 5,000 users and devices to be managed on the video conference system, enabling 1000 devices to be connected simultaneously to the gatekeeper.
2. Function to disperse server load which averages out overall system load by identifying, from among multiple servers, the one with the least connection load and automatically allocating connections for individual devices.
3. Multi-tenant function to enable ASP operation. The number of service providers offering application services, including Saas, is expected to increase going forward. With the multi-tenant function, providers can set dedicated tenants for each user on a single system, which can then be managed independently. The system can then be shared while maintaining security among tenants. This function enables providers to add, delete and edit tenants, and setup a tenant manager for each tenant and authorize them to manage parameters such as user, group, conference room for each tenant.
The new version of Visual Nexus will begin shipping on July 15, 2008.
