Avistar Recognized by TMC with 2011 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award

Avistar Communications Corporation (www.avistar.com), a leader in unified visual communications solutions, announced today that its support for virtualized unified communication environments has been recognized by TMC with the 2011 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award.

The Avistar C3 Integrator™ for Citrix solution was developed to enable businesses to adopt leading unified communications (UC) solutions within virtual desktop (VDI) environments. Without the Avistar C3 Integrator™ solution, UC packages are limited in terms of their ability to deliver a scalable and reliable videoconferencing experience across the enterprise VDI infrastructure. However, the Avistar all-software solution solves this by detecting the VDI environment and then seamlessly distributes the media processing to the endpoint while synchronizing the user experience with the UC application running on the virtual desktop. This approach allows businesses to broadly deploy their UC solution within a VDI environment without overburdening the corporate network or data center servers.

Stephen Epstein, CMO, Avistar, said, “Avistar is committed to delivering reliable, scalable and secure desktop videoconferencing solutions to its enterprise clients and technology partners. As the UC and VDI sectors converged, Avistar clearly recognized the technical challenges and successfully developed and deployed the industry’s leading suite of virtual visual communications solutions to enterprises globally. TMC’s 2011 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award recognizes and validates our contribution to the unified communications industry, and we appreciate the accolade.”
