1. Everything is Software

Infrastructure become Software MCUs replaced by Virtual Machines / SVC

Scalable & Don’t Age

2. WebRTC (Web Real Time Communications)

Real Time Communications in Browsers?

Browser

ActiveX NPAPI Flash Java

WebRTC Plugin / Additional layer

ActiveX. Only for windows & only for Internet Explorer. NPAPI. Separate code for separate platforms. No IE support. Flash. Proprietary. Slow development. Poor video & audio. Java. Java Virtual Machine required. Exotic.

WebRTC. Instant On & Without Plugins

WebRTC Pros & Cons

• No Internet Explorer support • No iOS support

• Describes only one-on-one communications • Server / MCU required for multi-point conferences • Not really suitable for service providers • Users prefer to use native mobile apps.

• 1 500 000 000 of desktops & mobiles on Earth are ready. • Compatible with Chrome-based browsers, Opera, Firefox. • Coded in JavaScript. Powered by of HTML5. • Built-in encryption & Firewall / NAT traversal. • Great video and audio codecs: VP8 + Opus.

3. BYOD & Mobility (Bring Your Own Device)

Any Device is UC Enabled Endpoint

Where is video conferencing used now?

Ratio Between Types of Endpoints

4. Interoperability = SIP

Increasing Number of Contacts

How to Connect Different Systems?

5. Consumerization

6. Cloud

Getting infrastructure from the Cloud

Cloud video conferencing deployment share

Fast. Convenient. No headache. Accessible. No guarantees. Unstable channels. Privacy Issues. Balancing between comfort and security. Perfect Cloud costs more then On Premise.

Clouds and Security

Challenges

• How to sell Cloud services? • Do you need integrators for SMB? • How a vendor should save his income without cutting off his

partners?

Video conferencing should be available at all times, not just in conference rooms.

It should be cross-platform. It should be cheap and easy scalable. It should be user-friendly, not engineer-friendly. It should be able to connect guests. It should be able to connect with other systems. It should work via the Internet/satellite/3G, everything else.

And all that should not decrease quality!

What we should count on?

On-premises ─ TrueConf Server

• Native protocols: proprietary TCP-based, WebRTC, RTSP + VP8 SVC

• Via Built-in Gateway: SIP + H.264 AVC, H.263, Speex, G.7xx.
