Unified Communications (UC) & Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

While unified communications is based on a simple enough principle – bringing together applications already used daily to communicate – implementation is much trickier. To ensure a single presence that is unified both on the desktop and within the infrastructure, UC vendors often have to sacrifice critical features in one area to bolster reliability, scalability and functionality in another.  No more. Avistar’s suite of UC-based desktop visual communications solutions complement what many UC solutions do well and power an optimum visual communication experience to the end user.

In addition to this, the with the introduction of virtual desktop infrastructures and advances of these technologies, many businesses are adopting strategies to move their desktop computing resources into the cloud or datacenter, in order to achieve the operational, environmental and business cost saving inherent in these VDI solutions. Unfortunately, when it comes to communications solutions, VDI environments can often overburden business networks by exposing large amount of uncompressed communications information.  This leads to scalability limitations and poor business application performance. Avistar has addressed these challenges by ensuring that application processing is maintained with the VDI cloud while all communications traffic is compressed and highly optimized before transmission over the network takes place.
