You know, we live in quite a fast world right now. So fast that we often don't even have time to talk to our loved ones, let along video chat. This is why I never thought I would see an increased demand for personal video-conferencing solutions. However, it seems such a demand exists and this is why TANDBERG has decided to offer scalable, out-of-the-box solutions for video-conferencing systems.

"Demand for personal video conferencing in the enterprise is growing faster than any other part of the video communications market," Scott Morrison, research vice president, Enterprise Network Services, Gartner, said. "But IT departments are wary of the impact of deploying and supporting so many end-user devices. The ability to centrally provision – and re-provision – on a large scale is a key concern for organizations looking to reduce the cost of both the initial setup and of ongoing moves, adds and changes in these mass deployments. This becomes even more important for organizations with large numbers of remote workers, where end-user install can avoid the cost of a truck roll."

With the help of the TANDBERG Management Suite, administrators will be able to install, monitor and control video networks in just a few minutes. This makes the TANDBERG large-scale provisioning solution not only great for personal video conferencing, but also quite a viable solution if you want business-quality video conferencing at a much smaller price.

Ending the article is Hakon Dahle, TANDBERG chief technologist. "To realize the maximum benefits of visual communications, telepresence and video conferencing systems need to be available not just in the meeting rooms, but also in everyone's office and on everyone's desk. […] Through our large scale provisioning solution, TANDBERG is the first to provide the foundation for a massively scalable and easily deployable enterprise video communications infrastructure. We are delivering greater value for customers of all sizes and making it possible to build large video communities in an extremely efficient manner."
