Poly and Pexip team up to offer secure video collaboration

Pexip, which provides enterprise video and collaboration solutions, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Poly to provide a suite of on-premises and cloud-based communications solutions for privacy-conscious customers.

The partnership will enable Poly to integrate Pexip’s technology into its solutions to create a powerful and seamless experience for users.

Poly will introduce three Pexip-powered offerings that prioritise better user experiences, deeper customisation, higher levels of interoperability and alliance strength, while adhering to robust security protocols:

• Poly PrivateConnect powered by Pexip is a video technology platform that delivers a unified meeting experience in a flexible and scalable way. Customers can operate in their private cloud tenant or on-premises, and can seamlessly connect to Microsoft Teams or Google Meet via its interoperability modules for a near-native user experience.
• Poly CloudConnect powered by Pexip provides multiplatform interoperability for Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. It allows users to operate their entire videoconferencing environment on a cloud platform, and focuses on end-user experience, customisation and ease of management and control.
• Poly FedConnect powered by Pexip is an SaaS-based videoconferencing solution designed for US federal, state and local government organisations. Customers can securely join Microsoft Teams calls from standards-based video systems, within a compliant cloud environment.

The partnership will offer customers reliable, high-quality video experiences that are accessible from anywhere, while maintaining strict security protocols. The benefits include bringing a Teams-like meeting experience to existing video systems, potential cost savings through the modernisation of legacy video infrastructure, and investment protection and improved sustainability.

Trond Johannessen, Pexip’s chief executive, said: “The partnership expands Pexip’s reach and brings its technology to a broader audience. Poly works with some of the world’s most privacy- and security-conscious customers across government and large-enterprise markets. Pexip’s video technology is ideal for these organisations, and we’re thrilled to work with Poly to help them securely connect with interoperability at scale.”

The solutions will replace Poly’s existing Clariti and RealConnect offerings for on-premise and cloud-based communications.
