Glowpoint, Inc. (GLOW) Announces Expanded Cloud B2B Exchange Services for Increased Intercompany Visual Communication

Yesterday, Glowpoint announced expanded B2B video exchange services that will enable business customers to easily and securely collaborate with more partners via visual communication from the cloud.

The OpenVideo cloud’s expanded B2B visual communication capabilities include seamless access on all leading multi-vendor global B2B exchanges, easy online scheduling for B2B calls, and B2B video call support for Cisco CTS systems. Glowpoint’s OpenVideo cloud platform supports and delivers all these new features and capabilities, including a new Multi-Protocol Video Trunk (MPVT) that provides a single connection to the cloud and expands access to customers and partners on other B2B exchanges.

The MPVT supports inbound and outbound video system calling over a single transport link, and it also enables businesses to register their entire private networks to the OpenVideo cloud rather than registering potentially hundreds of endpoints individually. This gives IT managers a more efficient method for providing B2B video calling capabilities, including ad-hoc point-to-point calling using simple DIDs and URIs.

Through its ongoing partnership with Tata Communications, Glowpoint will now offer direct B2B calling from the OpenVideo cloud on the Global Meeting Exchange (GMX), which will allow Glowpoint and Tata to give customers access to more partners for B2B video calling – eliminating the need for multiple connections to different B2B exchanges. The GMX additionally provides access to exchanges that are operated by other service providers.

Glowpoint is a global leader in providing cloud-managed video services that simplify the delivery of high-quality videoconferencing and telepresence service between any technology, network, and business. Glowpoint’s OpenVideo cloud architecture allows organizations to easily implement business-class video, instantly scale, and openly and securely collaborate across technology boundaries. Glowpoint is an active member of the Open Visual Communications Consortium (OVCC) and will be among the initial operators offering OVCC compliant B2B service in fall 2012.
