Pexip Government Cloud: Join Teams from any device FedRAMP® and StateRAMP Authorized

Asmund_Fodstad_Pexip_video_conferenceI hope you are continuing to stay safe and healthy

 

The end of the year is always a time for reflection. We’ve had a busy year optimizing and building the capability of Pexip video for our service and self-hosted customers. With our IPO in May this year, we’ve also been scaling our business with increased sales and technical and partner resources to support our customers and partners.

 

We’ve recently launched several new product features and updates, including branded VMRs, Pexip Private Cloud, BYOC, and Microsoft Teams Live Events interoperability.

Here’s a review of some of the year’s highlights for Pexip. We’ve also put together a holiday calendar showcasing the team's newest members, which we hope you enjoy.

 

Wishing you a happy, safe break and a wonderful 2021!

Pexip launches Pexip Private Cloud - increased security for video conferencing with ease of deployment & scale

 

Pexip has announced the launch of the Pexip Private Cloud, a new deployment option for its video conferencing platform.  The Pexip Private Cloud gives customers the ease and scalability of a shared cloud with the control, security, and privacy of a self-hosted solution, mission-critical to industries with strict regulatory compliance, including finance, healthcare, and government services. This is a unique offering in the market and is not available on any other cloud-based video conferencing solution. Read the announcement.

 

 

Pexip launches BYOC

Pexip has launched BYOC (Bring your carrier) to the service and any video endpoint registered on our service.

 

Why is this important?

  •  Customers can use their preferred carrier to regain full control of billing, reduce PSTN charges, and take advantage of already-negotiated prices

  • They can increase the value and reach of the video meeting room – they can connect to anyone with Pexip Service

  • Customers can keep and use the numbers they’ve already received from the carrier; there’s no need for porting

  • They can remove clutter from the physical meeting room. There is no need for that “spider phone” in the middle of the table. Only one device is needed for calling out.

More information:
