Presented at Skype Summit 2016

1. Pexip and Skype for Business
Interoperability & Integration
November 30, 2016

2. Challenges
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
Challenges faced by enterprises using video collaboration
Datacenters and
virtualization is the norm.
Move to cloud has started.
Collaboration infra-
structure lags behind.
Datacenter & Cloud

3. Enterprise Video Growth Driven by Three Technologies

Videoconferencing
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

4. 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
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. Coming in 2016.

6. 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 datacenter, fail over from one server to
another. Between datacenters – 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

10. 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
