Polycom Offers System for Managing Video Conferencing
Polycom Inc. yesterday introduced management software forcorporate video conferencing systems based on its
ViewStation line of conferencing products. The Global
Management System will let IT staff monitor video systems in
real time, as well as monitor and control individual
conferencing systems. The management software also includes
a directory that can contain up to 50,000 IP addresses, ISDN
numbers, and other information about video equipment on the
corporate network.
As corporations consider distributing video conferencing
systems at remote locations where IT staff may not be
trained to support video applications, centralized
management will become critical. The Global Management
System lets managers view the conferencing systems on the
network, monitor those being used in a given conference, and
receive networks error reports. The software will start
shipping in September and will cost about $250 per seat.
