Converged and Secure UCC Solutions

Now anyone can communicate across the public Internet, safely and securely

Since the first IP-capable voice and video conferencing systems were released in the 1990's, organizations

around the world have been looking forward to the day when unified collaborative communication (UCC)

applications can be routed over the public Internet as easily as they are routed within corporate intranets.

Working together with industry leaders, Polycom is defining solutions for Secure UCC sessions utilizing the

Internet. Polycom's Converged and Secure UCC Initiative seeks to broaden the reach of UCC applications by

making it possible for everyone to use standards-based, network security tools and techniques. The goal is to

enable and simplify collaboration at a distance between distributed individuals and workgroups, both inside a

company as well as outside.

Routing UCC applications across the public Internet increases the effectiveness and productivity of distributed

individuals and workgroups. It extends the geographic reach of UCC applications to a much larger group of

colleagues, suppliers, partners, and clients. It also allows UCC sessions to become more spontaneous and

cost effective compared to traditional ISDN implementations.

Polycom's focus is on providing the ultimate communications experience in all major environments, to the

broadest possible audience. Our Converged and Secure UCC initiative will first make it possible to hold ses-

sions across the Internet, offering access to more users. Only Polycom is committed to growing the market-

place by establishing ubiquitous access to our UCC solutions.

Polycom Voice Video Interface Unit Product Family - V2IU

Application Aware solution that resolves the NAT/Firewall issues

The V

IU performs video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address bound-

ary eliminating the security risks of traversal methods that tunnel or “hide”

video and voice traffic from existing perimeter security. It allows a single

public IP address to be used for multiple private LAN VoIP and video clients

Dynamically secures video and voice devices

A stateful packet inspection firewall is used in combination with an applica-

tion layer gateway to provide comprehensive application-aware security. This

approach enables the V

IU to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP

ports as needed by the video and voice endpoints.

Optimizes the quality of video and voice calls

The V

IU forwards video and voice traffic the shortest path possible to mini-

mize jitter, latency and packet loss. It also provides traffic management to

ensure that high priority real time video and voice traffic is processed before

lower priority data traffic.

Based on robust, telco-accepted technology

IU enables robust use of standards-based networking security mecha-

nisms. It has been installed in the world's most demanding enterprise and

telco environments
