BUSINESS WIRE)-- Avistar Communications Corporation (www.avistar.com), a leader in unified visual communications solutions, in cooperation with HP (www.hp.com) and Logitech (www.logitech.com), will be demonstrating the industry’s leading VDI enabled personal videoconferencing solution at Citrix Synergy™, San Francisco. Utilizing Avistar C3 Integrator™, the newly introduced Logitech® B990 HD Webcam and HP‘s line of innovative thin clients, this solution allows users to benefit from Avistar’s immersive personal videoconferencing experience using low cost HP thin clients, while leveraging the H.264 encoding benefits of the Logitech B990 HD Webcam. Powered by the Avistar C3™ platform, the combined solution provides direct benefits to users, workgroups, clients, partners and suppliers by delivering a unified and virtual personal videoconferencing solution within the VDI, without the traditional network and server challenges that are experienced when running a communications solution within the virtualized desktop infrastructure. This allows businesses to improve productivity, leverage social context through communications, while benefiting from the desktop virtualization advantages delivered by Citrix XenDesktop® and Citrix XenApp™.
This solution will be demonstrated simultaneously at Citrix Synergy, San Francisco, Avistar booth #638 and HP booth #312 from May 24th to May 26th.
"The Avistar C3 Integrator™ solution is designed to extend the benefits of the virtualized desktop infrastructure and deliver an exceptional desktop videoconferencing experience to both unified communication and videoconferencing users. Our innovative approach provides IT administrators and engineers the confidence they need to effectively deploy videoconferencing within a virtualized environment. Combined with the Logitech B990 HD Webcam, which reduces video encoding overhead, and HP thin clients, businesses can now deploy videoconferencing within the VDI at scale, while enjoying the productivity, workforce and IT benefits that both personal videoconferencing and a virtual environment provide,” said Stephen Epstein, CMO, Avistar.
“With the recent launch of the Logitech B990 HD Webcam, we believe that Logitech plays an important role within the virtual workplace. Our new webcam helps to reduce video processing overhead by encoding the video stream on board the webcam. This allows businesses to select from a wide range of HP thin clients, while leveraging the videoconferencing capability of the Avistar solution,” said Ziva Nissan, HD Webcam Sr. Global Product Marketing Manager, Logitech.
“Avistar, Logitech and HP have collaborated to provide an outstanding videoconferencing experience for Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix XenApp users. This highly scalable solution demonstrates the benefits that videoconferencing provides to end users, workgroups, clients and partners in a cloud-enabled environment, which is a core theme of Citrix Synergy, San Francisco,” said Derek Thorslund, Director of Product Management for HDX Technology, Citrix Systems, Inc.
