Like the universe, the “Enterprise” is expanding
• Not this Enterprise. But
employees do want to
connect from anywhere.
• You want employees to
connect from anywhere so
they can do their job.
Better. Faster. Cheaper.
• To me, mobile is any
device without a LAN
cord.

Deployment decisions support users
• More than with most
systems, put resources
near the users.
• What formats do you need
to support? BYOD = iPads
only? Transcode where
ever necessary.
• Understand your network
architecture, security
rules.
• Can you leverage a
hosted environment?
Should you?

Network architecture must support deployment
• Understanding your
network & users helps
determine the network
bottlenecks.
• Does your network routing
match your design?
− If the links between SF/Miami
are 10mb and the links
through NYC are 1gb, can
we tweak the routing to
support the users?

Focus your design around the users
• Adoption is key: Building a
solution that is easy to use
and manage, and that
interoperates with other
systems helps drive
adoption & user satisfaction.
• Your partner matters:
Ensure you have an
organization behind you that
is financially sound and
continuing to invest in
mobile video. These are
long term solutions & your
choice of partner matters.
