Pathfinder intelligent video delivery technology opened to third
parties
Qumu (NASDAQ: QUMU), a leader in enterprise video, today
announced Qx, the industry’s most extensible, end-to-end enterprise
video platform addressing the exponential growth of video in global
businesses. Qumu Qx is the most complete solution available – a
single, scalable and extensible platform – transforming how
organizations lead, learn and collaborate in the digital
workplace.
Qx encompasses four essential elements of a true
enterprise-grade video platform:
- Expanded management – including
advanced search, security, and automated workflows
- Exponential delivery – intelligent
delivery in the cloud, behind the firewall, or hybrid
- Extensible architecture – Open APIs for
seamless integration with other enterprise tools
- Expert service – industry-leading
expertise and service for the world’s largest global
businesses
“Qx is our vision and solution set in direct response to our
large, global customers’ need to consolidate their multiple video
platforms while gaining versatility at enterprise scale,” said Vern
Hanzlik CEO and president of Qumu. “Qumu Qx is a unifying video
solution. While other vendors can assemble the components of a
video stack, Qx is the only end-to-end solution on the market
delivering cloud, on-premise and hybrid configurations.”
Industry analyst response
“We were pleasantly surprised to find Qumu has been quietly
harmonizing its portfolio into a cohesive strategy - called Qx -
that’s intended to head off the collision between streaming and
conferencing,” said Jim Lundy, CEO and lead analyst at Aragon
Research. “It’s in alignment with that ‘best of both worlds’
companies are seeking: leveraging on-premise infrastructure –
including sophisticated management and visual analytics – with the
flexibility that Cloud offers.”
Steve Vonder Haar, senior analyst for streaming and webcasting
at Wainhouse Research said, “At their core, effective enterprise
streaming solutions must be able to manage the delivery of
high-volume video traffic behind the corporate firewall,” said
Steve Vonder Haar, senior analyst for streaming and webcasting at
Wainhouse Research. “With the introduction of Qx, Qumu is
clearly in step with growing market interest in integrating these
streaming distribution capabilities with collaboration and unified
communications solutions developed by other vendors.”
Anisha Vinny, industry analyst, Digital Media Group at Frost
& Sullivan said, “Increasingly enterprises do not want to deal
with multiple vendors to solve different parts of the enterprise
video problem. As a result, they are gravitating towards
comprehensive end-to-end platforms that can help them deliver live
and on-demand video for enterprise communications. A highly
extensible video platform that is capable of integrating with and
leveraging other widely used enterprise software is critical to
have in this landscape.”
Extensibility
Because enterprise customers have complex environments, Qumu Qx
is highly modular and extensible. Qx creates a powerful hub –
inside and outside the firewall – to help organizations integrate
and manage the exploding number of video sources and destinations
in the digital workplace.
Unleashing Pathfinder intelligent delivery solution
Under the Qx architecture, Qumu’s delivery technology –
Pathfinder – becomes available as a stand-alone enterprise CDN
platform. Third party applications can access Pathfinder’s
intelligent, optimized eCDN across public, private, and software
defined (peer) network environments.
Open APIs for Seamless Integration
Open APIs make Qumu Qx even easier for third party developers to
add extensions, like Qumu’s seamless integration with Microsoft
365, Skype for Business and Citrix. Simultaneously, Qumu is
announcing several new extensions, including:
- Real time analytics dashboard
- IPTV
- Short form video messaging
