"Of course our own customer base isn't necessarily representative of the broad market, but our product mix is an interesting data point because it's the same software, whether running on our cloud or customer-provided servers. 90% pick 'cloud,' up from 50% three years ago," said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis Vice President of Marketing. "We attribute this growth to the customer benefits of cloud computing: it's far less expensive and easier to expand versus infrastructure hardware alternatives such as video routers, multichannel units, and gateway servers," he elaborated.

Nefsis represents a new approach to multiparty business video conferencing, where just an online service subscription and any webcam or video peripheral is all that is needed for successful conferences. It takes only minutes for a conference host to activate an account, invited participants merely click on a web link. The latest software-based technologies such as cloud computing, scalable video and automated bandwidth throttling provide the best quality video possible over existing networks, up to and including multipoint HD. "Matching endpoint equipment and 'speeds and feeds' is a complexity of the past, making video conferencing much easier today," remarked Mr. Toperczer.  

The Company's technology can be deployed as an online service and on-premise, single- or multiple-server configurations, providing the full spectrum of pure, hybrid, and private cloud options. Nefsis expects to continue offering the latter to satisfy a long list of specialty requirements including customer PKI integration, UC integration, mixed wireline and satellite VPNs, and anywhere IT staff require more detailed controls over routing, access, and security.
