A204: Unique Deployment Challenges for Mobile Video in the Enterprise

This session will explain the unique challenges enterprises face with mobile video, including wireless networks, bring your own device initiatives, and will provide some technical recommendations and best practices. Hear about the major considerations for deploying mobile video in the enterprise, from content creation to delivery. The session will cover the pros and cons of multiples approaches, and how they can drastically impact the cost and quality of your mobile video deployment.


End User’s Requirements:

• I want anyone to create or watch

anything from anywhere in the

enterprise on any device.

• But only if they’re authorized.

• And it has to be secure.

• And it has to be auditable.

• And work on our existing network.

• And on the internet.

• And be scalable.

• And easy.

• And free (or show a ROI!)


Like the universe, the “Enterprise” is expanding

• Not this Enterprise. But employees do want to connect from anywhere.

• You want employees to connect from anywhere so they can do their job. Better. Faster. Cheaper.

• To me, mobile is any device without a LAN cord.


To your salespeople, this is part of the enterprise


If your job is to assemble this tower, then this has to be part of your enterprise.


Deployment decisions support users

• More than with most systems, put resources near the users.

• What formats do you need to support? BYOD = iPads only? Transcode where ever necessary.

• Understand your network architecture, security rules.

• Can you leverage a hosted environment? Should you?


Network architecture must support deployment

• Understanding your network & users helps determine the network bottlenecks.

• Does your network routing match your design?

− If the links between SF/Miami are 10mb and the links through NYC are 1gb, can we tweak the routing to support the users?


Focus your design around the users

• Adoption is key: Building a solution that is easy to use and manage, and that interoperates with other systems helps drive adoption & user satisfaction.

• Your partner matters: Ensure you have an organization behind you that is financially sound and continuing to invest in mobile video. These are long term solutions & your choice of partner matters.
