Pexip and Skype for Business Interoperability & IntegrationNovember 30, 2016

Challenges

Three key technologies do not work well together: Skype for Business, traditional video conferencing, and WebRTC

Traditional conferencing infrastructure is based on custom hardware. It is very expensive, and complex to operate.

Enterprise technologies lack scale to provide all employees with virtual meeting rooms for voice, video and data

Interoperability Cost & Complexity Scalability

Challenges faced by enterprises using video collaboration

Datacenters and virtualization is the norm. Move to cloud has started. Collaboration infra-structure lags behind.

Gartner:In 2019 WebRTC will power 15% of enterprise voice and video usage,

up from 1% today

Gartner:By 2019, group videoconferencing usage enterprise-wide will increase

400% over current levels

Pexip Makes These Technologies Work Together at Scale

On-premise Deployment

Pexip Infinity can be deployed in the cloud, on premises or bothPexip Infinity makes all these technologies interoperate at scale

A deployment may consist of 1 or 100 servers, and can handle hundreds of thousands of users

Pexip Infinity Key Functionality

Distributed ConferencingVoice, video and data conferencing allowing any mix of participants in the same meeting – SIP, H.323, Lync, Skype, Web, Mobile, VoIP

Distributed GatewayAny-to-any gateway allowing any endpoint (e.g. Lync, Skype, Web) to call any other endpoint directly

Distributed Call ControlMultiprotocol SIP/H.323/WebRTC registrar, enabling advanced call processing scenarios. Simplifies deployment

Distributed EdgeProvides policing of the enterprise edge, with simplified edge design compared to existing solutions. Coming in 2016.

Pexip Infinity Distributed Architecture

ScaleDistributed architecture – multiple VMs connected across locations. Increase capacity while running by adding VMs, locations. Active deployments with over 100,000 VMRs configured

CostEasier to deploy and manage than any competing enterprise architecture. Single portal to manage all VMs, even for global deployments. Saves bandwidth across the WAN.

ResilienceWithin a datacenter, fail over from one server to another. Between datacenters – location failover. Resilient to temporary network splits.

CloudDeploy on standard servers on premise. Deploy in Azure or Amazon or other IaaS. On-premises for daily needs, burst to cloud for more capacity.

Bandwidth savings between locations

Burst to cloud in one or more locations

Very low latency between endpoints in the same

Distributed Deployment in Azure

Pexip Infinity Distributed Architecture is perfectly suited for deployment in Azure:

Small VM for Management NodeLarger instances for Conferencing NodesPlace Conferencing Nodes in relevant regionsConnect Conferencing Nodes w/Azure Site-to-Site VPN

The entire Pexip deployment, consisting of dozens of VMs, still behaves like a single entity

All Conferencing Nodes are automatically discovered by and provisioned by the single Management Node

Conferencing Nodes can be added and removed on the fly, without downtime

Azure Site-to-Site VPN connects Pexip Conferencing Nodes

Azure view of Pexip deployment: A single Management Node and

three Conferencing Nodes in three different Azure data centers
