SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, will be showing the currently available VidyoRouter Virtual Edition (VE) along with a technology demonstration of VidyoDesktop running on VMware View at VMworld 2012 in San Francisco, Booth #2530, August 26-30.

"Traditional video conferencing solutions typically rely upon proprietary hardware to perform transcoding necessary for multipoint video calling," said Ira Weinstein, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research and author of the recently published white paper Multipoint Videoconferencing Goes Virtual. Vidyos software solution supports multipoint calling without the need for processor-intensive transcoding, making it well suited for virtualized and distributed environments. By eliminating the need for a transcoding MCU, this architecture significantly reduces the cost associated with large-scale video conferencing deployments.

Vidyo is a leader in virtualized video conferencing infrastructure. VidyoRouter VE, which is generally available, provides enterprises and service providers with unprecedented quality of up to 1440p and deployment flexibility, enhancing their ability to deliver natural video communications optimized for desktop, room and mobile devices at price points comparable to web conferencing.

Virtualization enables efficiency, cost saving and new deployment capabilities, said Ashish Gupta, CMO and SVP of Corporate Development, Vidyo. With support for VMware environments, Vidyo brings increased quality and value to end-users and IT departments by delivering a multimedia solution that is truly scalable and supports a variety of firewall solutions, devices and wide area networks requirements including those for branch offices and small businesses.

End-users using VMware View solutions are looking for uncompromising performance while at scale, said Mason Uyeda, director, End-User Computing Technical Marketing, VMware. Vidyos virtualized solution on VMware View provides access to high quality video communication as an application and an enhanced user experience in a managed, secure environment.

VMware is the leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions that enable businesses to thrive in the Cloud Era. VMworld 2012 US is the industry's largest virtualization and cloud computing event. With more than 300 unique breakout sessions and over 250 exhibitors, attendees will have unparalleled access to the knowledge and tools they need to master the new cloud landscape and transform their business. This year's VMworld theme "Right Here, Right Now" focuses on how attendees will gain the tools and training needed to master the new cloud landscape, with the speed, security and control they've come to expect.
