Polycom Accordent Media Services hosted on Windows Azure platform

Thursday, 19 May, 2011


Polycom’s Accordent Media Services, a cloud service hosted on the Windows Azure platform, enables users to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy a single, secure, searchable video content management solution for all their video assets - from shareholder meetings, to routine video calls between end points or end-user desktops.

The service provides cloud-based hosting, delivery and video content management capability for users wishing to optimise the use of libraries of multisource, multiformat video assets.

The service includes an installed and fully functional Media Management System, hosted within Windows Azure data centres, which delivers content in various formats to widely distributed audiences via the Azure content delivery network (CDN). Users can submit content created from remote Accordent capture products across the cloud using Microsoft Expression Encoder, videoconferencing integrations and desktop Microsoft Lync 2010 clients. Additionally, the service will also provide full enterprise video content management capabilities (categorising, indexing, retention management, etc), publishing to customer Microsoft SharePoint 2010 solutions, and scalable delivery of live and on-demand content over the Azure CDN.

The Azure platform, an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted through Microsoft data centres, simplifies maintaining and operating applications by providing on-demand compute and storage to host, scale and manage web and connected applications. Infrastructure management is automated with a platform that is designed for high availability and dynamic scaling to match usage needs.
