Company officials noted that the difference between multipoint HD and telepresence is the latter's use of a single-purpose room, specialized furniture, and a physical conference room build-out to create an immersive experience. Otherwise, they are both multipoint HD.

Small- and mid-sized businesses that do not want to dedicate a purpose-built room can easily activate a Nefsis Professional online service subscription and get multipoint HD video conferencing at the same display specifications – high definition – as a telepresence studio costing $250,000. Sufficient bandwidth is required, same as telepresence.  

The Nefsis cloud offers several advantages over point-to-point telepresence systems. Nefsis has fully integrated, advanced collaboration tools such as annotation, playing movie files, and electronic hand-outs. In addition, Nefsis can reach desktops without the addition of infrastructure hardware. Its feature capabilities and firewall traversal are all in the cloud. Few, if any, telepresence systems can match Nefsis cloud-based collaboration tools and desktop reach.

"Nefsis highlights the advantages of cloud computing. The alternative approach to solving firewall and proxy traversal for business desktop users is buying infrastructure hardware," said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis Vice President of Marketing. "Throwing hardware at multipoint conferencing was the 1990's approach. The new IT strategy is cloud computing –all the heavy processing occurs on shared servers in the cloud – where it's far cheaper and easier to maintain," he added.

The Nefsis HD Promo Pack is available now. HD webcams and conference room pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are sold separately via promotional partners. Interested parties are invited to contact Nefsis sales for details.
