Tandberg Announces Support For Codian & Sony Products

Tandberg, a provider of telepresence, high-definition videoconferencing and mobile video solutions, recently announced the support of Codian and Sony products by the Tandberg Management Suite (TMS). In addition, the support of Polycom HDX systems is planned for the first half of 2008. With these new enhancements, customers with multi-vendor environments will be able to better manage their video networks.

“A true multi-vendor management system such as TMS will allow a system administrator to quickly and easily configure and manage large numbers of endpoints, regardless of manufacturer,” said Ira Weinstein, senior analyst and partner of analyst firm Wainhouse Research.

A large number of enterprise videoconferencing deployments include video systems and/or infrastructure devices such as Multipoint Control Units, gateways and gatekeepers from multiple vendors, which can present challenges for system managers. TMS provides the ability to manage endpoints and devices from different manufacturers using a single management interface and platform, which decreases the burden on support staff and lowers the total cost of ownership for video networks.
