Challenges faced by enterprises using video collaboration
Three key technologies
do not work well
together: Skype for
Business, traditional
video conferencing, and
WebRTC
Traditional conferencing
infrastructure is based
on custom hardware. It
is very expensive, and
complex to operate.
Enterprise technologies
lack scale to provide all
employees with virtual
meeting rooms for
voice, video and data
Interoperability Cost & Complexity Scalability
Datacentres and
virtualization is the
norm. Move to cloud
has started.
Collaboration infra-
structure lags behind.

Enterprise Video Growth Driven by Three Technologies
Microsoft
Skype for Business
Web
Browsers
Gartner:
In 2019 WebRTC will power 15% of enterprise
voice and video usage, up from 1% today
Gartner:
By 2019, group videoconferencing usage
enterprise-wide will increase 400% over current
levels
Unify Square:
Skype for Business will exceed 100 million
enterprise seats by 2018
15X 400%100M

Pexip Makes These Technologies Work Together at Scale
On-premise Deployment
Pexip Infinity can be deployed in the cloud, on premises or both
Pexip Infinity makes all these technologies interoperate at scale
A deployment may consist of 1 or 100 servers, and can handle hundreds of thousands of users
Cloud Deployment

Pexip Infinity Key Functionality
Distributed Conferencing
Voice, video and data conferencing allowing any
mix of participants in the same meeting – SIP,
H.323, Lync, Skype, Web, Mobile, VoIP
Distributed Gateway – Fusion
Any-to-any gateway allowing any endpoint (e.g.
Lync, Skype, Web) to call any other endpoint
directly
Distributed Call Control
Multiprotocol SIP/H.323/WebRTC registrar,
enabling advanced call processing scenarios.
Simplifies deployment
Distributed Edge
Provides policing of the enterprise edge, with
simplified edge design compared to existing
solutions.

Pexip Infinity Distributed Architecture
Scale
Distributed architecture – multiple VMs connected
across locations. Increase capacity while running by
adding VMs, locations. Active deployments with
over 100,000 VMRs configured
Cost
Easier to deploy and manage than any competing
enterprise architecture. Single portal to manage all
VMs, even for global deployments. Saves bandwidth
across the WAN.
Resilience
Within a datacentre, fail over from one server to
another. Between datacentres – location failover.
Resilient to temporary network splits.
Cloud
Deploy on standard servers on premise. Deploy in
Azure or Amazon or other IaaS. On-premises for
daily needs, burst to cloud for more capacity.
$
Bandwidth savings
between locations
Burst to cloud in one or more
locations
Very low latency between
endpoints in the same
location

Distributed Deployment in Azure
Pexip Infinity Distributed Architecture is
perfectly suited for deployment in Azure:
– Small VM for Management Node
– Larger instances for Conferencing Nodes
– Place Conferencing Nodes in relevant
regions
– Connect Conferencing Nodes w/Azure Site-
to-Site VPN
The entire Pexip deployment, consisting of
dozens of VMs, still behaves like a single
entity
– All Conferencing Nodes are automatically
discovered by and provisioned by the single
Management Node
Conferencing Nodes can be added and
removed on the fly, without downtime
Azure Site-to-Site VPN
connects Pexip
Conferencing Nodes
Azure view of Pexip deployment:
A single Management Node and three
Conferencing Nodes in three different Azure
data centers
