From the boardroom to the browser, video has become a valuable business tool. When video communications systems work properly, people become more interactive, creative and productive. Conversely, when video systems fail, they cause delays along with angst and frustration in the people trying to use them. While users may want and expect "video that just works," the complexities behind making it work can be challenging.

This informative discussion will help guide you through the critical steps for designing and planning a video solution that "just works" to give users the most flexibility and utility.

Topics explored will include:

  • The infrastructure required to make video work
  • Why Session Border Controllers are important in video networks
  • Endpoint interoperability challenges
  • Security/governance considerations
