Video conferencing infrastructure redefined by LifeSize UVC platform

BANGALORE, INDIA: LifeSize, a division of Logitech, announced the LifeSize UVC Platform, the industry’s first integrated and virtualized software solution for HD video conferencing infrastructure.

UVC stands for universal video collaboration, LifeSize’s vision for all products and technologies, focusing on flexibility, simplicity and performance. The LifeSize UVC Platform integrates the capabilities of multiple single-purpose infrastructure products and makes them instantly available from one interface with one login account.

Unlike today’s rigid systems with lengthy deployment periods and required fixed-capacity purchasing, the LifeSize UVC Platform makes buying and deploying video conferencing infrastructure more flexible and efficient, and the investment significantly more cost-effective. With one integrated platform and a deployment model to fit every IT environment, administrators can buy what they need now and scale up as the organization’s needs grow.

“Since inception, LifeSize has consistently delivered industry firsts,” said Colin Buechler, CEO of LifeSize and Logitech senior VP. "We were first to HD, first with one button streaming and recording, and now we are redefining video conferencing infrastructure. By responding to the needs of our customers, LifeSize has fundamentally changed the way businesses deploy infrastructure, unlocking the door to real adoption and growth in the video conferencing industry.”

The LifeSize UVC Platform is scalable and customizable, removing the cost, risk and complexity of fixed-capacity hardware, which often requires a larger up-front purchase than you need. Today, the UVC Platform includes infrastructure applications ranging from HD streaming and recording, firewall/NAT traversal, and Gatekeepers (routing and control).
