Pexip has partnered with Poly to provide highly secure video collaboration solutions for privacy-conscious customers.
The partnership involves leveraging Pexip’s business video infrastructure with Poly’s video pro-grade technology. The intended results are dependable, seamless and powerful video experiences accessible from anywhere and on any device while being entirely secure.
Trond Johannessen, CEO of Pexip, said:
The partnership expands Pexip’s reach and brings its technology to a broader audience. Poly works with some of the world’s most privacy- and security-conscious customers across government and large enterprise markets. Pexip’s video technology is ideal for these organizations, and we’re thrilled to work with Poly to help them securely connect with interoperability at scale.”
Poly, an HP-owned business, is launching three Pexip-powered solutions. The first, Poly PrivateConnect, is a video technology platform that aims to deliver a unified meeting experience with flexibility, customizability and scalability while maintaining security protocols. Customers can operate in their private cloud or on-premises and connect to Teams or Google Meet with its interoperability modules.
The second Pexip-driven solution is Poly CloudConnect, which will provide multiplatform interoperability for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and video conferencing. Customers can operate their video conferencing systems via a central cloud platform focusing on user experience, customization, and ease of management.
The final Pexip-powered offering is specific to U.S. government organizations, including at a federal, state and local level. Poly FedConnect is a FedRAMP-authorized, SaaS-based video conferencing solution. Users can join Teams calls from standards-based video systems, all within a compliant and secure cloud environment.
Pexip and Poly hope this raft of solutions will provide their customers an excellent user experience by bringing a Teams-like meeting environment to existing video systems while improving sustainability and ROI value by modernizing legacy video infrastructure.
Chris Moss, Product and Portfolio Management, HP Hybrid Systems, commented: “We are excited to partner with Pexip to bring their advanced video technology to our users. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to delivering the best possible communication and collaboration experience to our customers, no matter where they are located.”
Several Recent Projects for Poly and Pexip
Poly spoke with UC Today last month about why personalizing UC tech is essential for successful hybrid working.
Poly firmly believes that the future of standard work is hybrid policies. Vin LaRocca, senior vice president for Americas and EMEA for Poly at HP, told UC Today earlier this year: “2023 introduces a new era of work that sees greater flexibility and productivity being achieved from locations as diverse as coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, holiday homes, and we see a whole new breed of huddle rooms and collaborative spaces revamping the office buildings.”
Meanwhile, last month, Pexip launched SIP Guest Join, a solution that allowed users to join Teams meetings organized by anyone from within or outside their business and on any device.
Earlier this year, Pexip updated its Room Connector to allow Google Meet users to join calls using third-party video conferencing systems. The new feature enabled businesses to add Google Meet interoperability to all their meeting rooms, including content sharing between users and dual-screen support.
