Company officials said the DMA 7000 is designed to unify an enterprise visual communication infrastructure in order to improve the efficiency, reliability, and performance of video calls, and make it easier and more cost-effective for organizations to deliver on-demand videoconferencing services to employees.
“There is a ‘perfect storm’ of technological, business, and economic factors driving greater adoption of video communications, which is having a profound impact on the scalability requirements of enterprise networks,” said Roopam Jain, principal analyst, conferencing and collaboration, at Frost & Sullivan, in a statement. “The Polycom DMA 7000 is designed to help large organizations spread ad-hoc video communication to thousands of users by improving the simplicity and reliability of the application, delivering scalability across a distributed network, and streamlining the management process to simplify deployment, administration, reduce costs.”
“Customers are deploying visual communication more broadly across their organizations as a critical tool and want video services available for employees to use at any time,” said Joe Sigrist, senior vice president and general manager, video solutions, at Polycom. “The DMA 7000 solution supports desktop, group, and telepresence applications and makes it easier for customers to deploy on-demand videoconferencing solutions.”
