Rich Media Communications

Improve productivity with rich contextual communication over HP FlexNetwork

Video is an essential communications medium for enterprises. It is here to stay, and video will only become a larger and more important aspect of communication for all organizations.

Consider its impact on business:

• Video conferencing increases the pace of business as remote workers and teams collaborate easily while reducing costs.
• It enables on-demand product information, training, and support with rich and contextual information available 24x7 to employees, partners, and customers.
• Process and timed workflows are increasingly monitored by video to quickly and efficiently resolve production issues.

Is your business ready for the change in communications paradigm that video is driving?



Enabling rich media communications over the network requires an infrastructure that delivers low latency, high resiliency, and ensures end-to-end traffic prioritization. IP networks have simplified video deployment with integrated technologies like–device auto detection, Power over Ethernet (PoE), QoS, traffic segregation, and multi-tier security.

The HP FlexNetwork architecture for rich media communications is a key component of the HP Converged Infrastructure. The FlexNetwork architecture is designed to allow IT to manage Data center, campus and branch with a single pane-of-glass management application, HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC). FlexNetwork helps enterprises securely deploy and centrally orchestrate video-optimized network. With best-in-class video solutions from HP AllianceONE partners like Polycom, Microsoft, Avaya, Riverbed and Axis, we can enable effective rich media communications.
