All-over-IP-2010: Benefits of Unified Communications for Telecom Operators and Corporate End-Users to be Introduced by Frost&Sullivan

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/69133

Unified Communications has been a hot topic of discussion among US and European IT professionals for the previous 5 years. But it is only these days that we are able to talk about Unified Communications as a market with its quantity and quality indicators.

According to global analyst company Frost&Sullivan, the Russian market for Unified Communications will nearly double and reach 4 billion dollars by the end of 2010.

Nowadays, Unified Communications solutions are of main interest to large- and middle-scale enterprises that have a regional branch network and/or offer their employees mobile working capabilities.

Another group of users that take advantage of Unified Communications is young developing Russian companies with a new business culture. The downturn of 2009 has increased the need of corporate customers in cost effective communication solutions.

As Frost&Sullivan reports, a number of factors will drive the Russian Unified Communications market the next few years. Among them is the fact that the CU ideology is being promoted and implemented by a range of large market players incuding hardware vendors and IT system integrators. Key Russian telecom operators are expected to join them in the next 2-3 years offering users cloud Unified Communications solutions.

On November 18, 2010 Tatiana Tolmacheva, Business Development Executive of Frost&Sullivan Russia will hold a presentation titled "Expansion of Unified Communications in Russia and globally" at All-over-IP 2010 Forum.

A special focus will be given to the following questions:

The current state of the global and Russian market for Unified Communications;

Expectations of corporate users for Unified Communications solutions;

Unified Communications Users- Feedback.

Tatiana Tolmacheva will introduce a few case studies on implementation of UC solutions in financial institutions as well as their benefits and advantages.

Groteck Business Media invites global vendors to join the All-over-IP 2010 Forum and to participate in UC panel discussion.

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/68991

"As visitors to All-over-IP-2010 we would like to mobile security solutions that include video surveillance, security alarm and access control, and are designed for installation at temporary building and construction sites."

That is the opinion offered by Dmitry Belolapotko, General Manager of Vymplel City � one of the key security installers in Lipetsk and Lipetsk region, central Russia.

1. Vympel City Company has so far upgraded the video surveillance solution installed at a warehouse that belongs to Indesit International (Lipetsk). Video IQ7 by AXXON has been used for the project. The next stage in upgrade of the system will be realized with Intellect Softwate that allows integration of video surveillance with access control, security alarms, attendance management, and vehicles management.

2. In 2008, Vympel City Company has been involved in the project of protecting Lipetsk schools and colleges with security solutions. The further plan is to integrate all the video surveillance and alarms solutions installed into a single network based upon a centralized monitoring centre.

"We are currently interested in organizing mobile security solutions based on wireless IP equipment that allow providing security for temporary sites," goes on to say Dmitry Belolapotko.

"We are also looking for IP video surveillance solutions that could help integrate remote sites into a single system suitable for IP videoconferencing."

All-over-IP-2010: IP VPN Services for Customers with Multiple Sites

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/68668

Large Russian end-customers often have to deal with building a telecommunication infrastructure that would help them to manage a significant number of multiple sites. Performance and reliability of networks become the customers- principle requirements in this context.

"IP VPN solutions offered by large Russian telecommunications operators seem to be the most secure choice, � says Igor Vasilenko, IT manager for Adidas Russia. � Such solutions insure communication services of the highest reliability and quality."

IP VPN solutions become even more relevant when it comes to voice traffic and its prioritisation. Implementation of IP telephony based on this infrastructure enables the customer to combine data and voice transfer channels.

"Each of our stores occupies a floor space of about 400 sq.m, so implementation of private branch exchanges seems an inappropriate approach, � Igor Vasilenko goes on to say. � We-ve chosen special equipment � voice gateways that can be integrated with our IP VPN solution and Internet VPN solution. Thus we-ve got a convenient and flexible solution."

ONVIF Chairman Holds Presentation at All-over-IP-2010

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/68511

Moscow, Russia. � Jonas Andersson, Chairman of ONVIF, will hold a specialized presentation for Russia-s corporate end-users and system integrators at the 3rd All-over-IP Forum that takes place on November 18, 2010 at Sokolniki Expo in Moscow. www.all-over-ip.ru/eng

In 2010, All-over-IP Business Program that covers exhibitors- events at Expo Area and Seminar Theatre is expanded with presentations dedicated to global experience in implementation of IP solutions as well as current technology trends and developments within security, telecom and IT markets. One of these trends is the shift from analog to digital security systems, which has created a great need for standardization of IP-based security products.

"Without a global standard, end users and integrators will always need to consider the need for extra integration work before making their final decision regarding system components for their security solution," says Jonas Andersson, Chairman of ONVIF-s steering committee. "A global standard makes it easier for everyone as it ensures interoperability between the products regardless of brand."

Within All-over-IP-2010 Jonas Andersson will hold a presentation with the focus on ONVIF activities, recent results in the development of video surveillance and access control products with the support of ONVIF specification and business benefits of interoperability.

A live interoperability demonstration will be held in conjunction with All-over-IP-2010 on November 18 in Moscow.

Groteck Business Media invites global vendors to join the 3rd All-over-IP Forum and to participate in ONVIF-s panel discussion. The event is a golden opportunity for global suppliers to meet Russia-s key corporate end-users and system integrators and introduce the potential of a global standard for network video products for them.

Milestone is the First VMS to Support Bosch 200 Series IP Cameras with Plug-and-Play Integration via ONVIF Standard

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/67874

Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software, announces plug-and-play integration between Milestone XProtect� software and the new Bosch NBC-225 and 255 IP cameras, enabled using the ONVIF specification standard. Milestone is hereby the first video management software product to support the newest models in the Bosch 200 Series of IP cameras.

Both companies support the ONVIF standard with officially launched offerings. ONVIF is an open industry forum for the development of a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products. Incorporated as a non-profit entity in late 2008, the ONVIF specification is being developed to ensure interoperability between IP products regardless of manufacturer through a specification that defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device discovery, video streaming and intelligence metadata.

"Milestone and Bosch have worked very closely together to use the latest ONVIF specifications to achieve this plug-and-play integration of our products," says Rudolf Spielberger, Alliance Manager for Bosch Security Systems GmbH. "Milestone is therefore the first VMS to support the Bosch NBC-200 IP cameras based on the ONVIF standard. Our companies will continue to collaborate to support our product portfolios with many exciting new features already planned for later this year."

The Bosch NBC-225 and NBC-255 IP cameras bring Bosch�s high-performance technology into the realm of small office and retail business chains by offering cost-effective solutions for a broad range of surveillance applications. H.264 compression technology gives clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 30%. The current models in the series operate with Power-over-Ethernet and allow a choice of fixed or varifocal lenses.

The ONVIF standard integration with these two Bosch 200 series cameras allows users of Milestone XProtect IP video management software to operate video streaming in both MJPEG and H.264 with RTP/UPD protocols, and audio streaming. Milestone is also working to provide support for the full line of Bosch Dinion and Flexidome H.264 network cameras, which will be commercially available soon.

"Milestone is very excited to be the first VMS vendor to support the Bosch NBC cameras as we participate actively in working with the ONVIF standard developments for IP video, which will benefit the security industry for years to come," says Henrik Friborg, Co-Founder and VP Strategic Alliances, Milestone Systems.

The ONVIF global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security products continues to engender strong interest from security companies worldwide, with about 180 members. Learn more at www.onvif.org

"Over the last 2 years, we have been creating a solid network of professional communications, � says Olga Fedoseeva, Content Manager of All-over-IP Forum. � The first forum was quite small and very focused on video surveillance so each participant could personally communicate to each visitor.

Of cos, we had informed all the audience on all the exhibitors and their offers well in advance."

"This year we expect 1,5 times more exhibitors and twice as many visitors as last year, � goes on to say Olga Fedoseeva. � In order to help end-users and system integrators make more sense out of their visit, and exhibitors make more business contacts with their targeted audience, events at each booth and each seminar will have even more distinctive focus than before."

1. All seminar held by vendors will be marked in accordance with professional interests of certain groups of visitors:

"New Products" � technical specialists of system integrators and end-users;

"Solutions" � technical management of system integrators and technical specialists of end-users;

"Installations/Projects" � technical management of end-users;

"Partnership" � top-management and owners of system integrators, resellers and distributors.

2. Executives of security, IT, building automation and enterprise communications departments of end-user companies will be offered a special program of vertical conferences.

3. The program of seminars and vertical conferences will be completed with events where the most authoritative international researchers and experts in security, IT, telecommunications and automate building will introduce global technology trends, forecasts and expertise.

4. The whole expo area will be marked in accordance with technological solutions presented at booths (video surveillance, data storage, access control, enterprise communications, etc.) and verticals these solutions are designed for (transportation, oil&gas, industrial sites, finances, telecom, local authorities).

"As we structure the whole business program this way, customers get a better understanding which booths and seminars they need to visit, and forum participants are able to have a personal contact with very focused, interested and well-prepared audience. Suppliers get access to customers of all levels of decision-making," � comments Olga Fedoseeva.

1. In large Russia-s cities that have advanced broadband infrastructure and a number of competing mobile and fixed operators, corporate end-users have a growing demand for Unified Communications and FMC services. UC and FMC products and services allow increasing business process efficiency as well as convinience and cost-saving of corporate mobile communication services.

2. In distant regions with low-density telecom infrastructure, end-users (industrial and critical sites) consider wireless technologies the most appropriate means for building their corporate IT infrastructure and getting access to Internet.

WiMAX and mini-TETRA are referred to as the most cost effective solutions for corporate communications in this case.

Budgeting for telecommunication infrastructure depends on the quality of the solutions offered and the guaranteed load of the network resources.

Special requirements to bandwidth, reliability and continuity of the network, communication solutions and head-end equipment are imposed by security professionals who become the main customers of telecom infrastructure upgrade.

On November 18, 2010 suppliers of ICT equipment, solutions and services will compete for the budgets of prequalified Russia-s end-users, system integrators and telecom operators at the 3rd ALL-OVER-IP Forum. www.all-over-ip.ru/eng

GroteckSmartEvent Introduced at IFSEC-2010

Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/67338

IFSEC, the world-s No. 1 annual security event, returned from 10 to 13 May 2010 to the NEC Birmingham. The event traditionally attracted the leading innovations, new products, business people and market opportunities.

"This year IFSEC featured a great number of national pavilions, � says Andrey Miroshkin, CEO of Groteck Business Media. � IFSEC is famous for its well-balanced range of security products covered. Most participants and visitors come to discuss business and look for sales leads."

Groteck Business Media, an official IFSEC partner in Russia, has introduced its media portfolio to global vendors � Security & Safety Magazine and Catalogue; CCTV, DVR, Access Control, Fire & Intrusion Alarms Buyers- Guides; Security & Safety Technologies Forum (SST Forum) and All-over-IP Forum.

"We receive an enormous amount of interest to the Russian market and our media services at each booth, � says Andrey Miroshkin. � It is clear however that many global vendors do not have a complete understanding of the potential the Russian market has got. They may lack information on the competition, sales volumes and large investments in Russia. So our principle goal is to carry on studying and promoting the Russian market. The current competition there is so high that one or two year will pass and a newcomer will find it rather tough to enter the local environment."

"Global vendors who allocate marketing budgets for promotion in Russia should recommend their global executives, CTO or senior engineers to take an active part in Russian professional events, � says Olga Fedoseeva, Editor-in-Chief of Security & Safety Magazine and Content Manager of All-over-IP Forum. � This will help international vendors see the local market in proper perspective and attract key customers. It is essential that Russian partners should invite their global vendors to have a speech and generate quality leads. Our events provide all of these opportunities."

IFSEC-2010 has become a venue where GroteckSmartEvent has been globally launched. GroteckSmartEvent is a package of services offered by Groteck Business Media that operate the whole year and allow global vendors to provide maximum information on their products, solutions, expertise and projects to their target audience, and receive the profile of customers interested in their offers in advance.

"A large exhibition always turns out to be a kind of labyrinth, � continues Andrey Miroshkin. � It takes the visitor a good amount of effort to find all the exclusive content. GroteckSmartEvent helps the exhibitor and the seminar organizer to make their technology and expertise more visible to the target audience. In the year 2010 the benefits of GroteckSmartEvent will be available to exhibitors of All-over-IP Forum and Infosecurity Russia Expo."

To better serve the broad existing and potential client base in Russia, AVerMedia INFORMATION Inc. held an AVerSenimar knowledge sharing event on March 11, 2010. It was the first face-to-face surveillance knowledge sharing platform focusing on IP and Hybrid market outlook and total solutions in Moscow, Russia.

Sergey Trapani, Sales Manager of AVerMedia INFORMATION in Russia, opened the seminar by presenting dealer network development plans, marketing policies and history of AVerMedia INFORMATION brand. Following by the opening was special guests, Roman Streltsov, General Director of Navicom, and Peter Pozdniakov, Commercial Director of Navicom, delivered speeches about the current trend in the global surveillance market and reality of IP industry in Russia. The seminar was concluded by Andrew Wong, EU Technical Product Manager from AVerMedia INFORMATION London, introducing an attractive products line of AVerMedia INFORMATION such as AVerDiGi Hybrid 16-channel EH5216H+ and Pure IP solution- MXR6004 Mini and integration software CM3000 Gold.

IP Revolution

Realizing the formidable force of IP network technology benefits to the CCTV market, Roman Streltsov and Peter Pozdnyakov raised their tone when describing the Analog Market: "Analog surveillance system is losing its position as the pain of agony continues." During their speech, the directors of Navicom named few benefits of IP Video Surveillance System. The immediate advantage of IP system is the ease-of-installation that requires no drilling, expensive coaxial cable purchase and layout, and distance limitation. H.264 compression and megapixel camera have been able to provide extensive storage without compromising on the video surveillance quality and high resolution images for both live and recorded data respectively.

Eventually, the revolution of the IP system has been able to digitize the surveillance data in IP cameras, thus ease the operation burden of the DVR/NVR for more efficient use. Other features included the flexibility, extensibility, and stability as well as multiple users operation simultaneously.

Transition from Analog to IP

Although IP surveillance system offered many advantages, but analog system is still dominated in many countries. So, in response to this concern, AVerMedia INFORMATION also included a section analyzing the possible opportunities and what AVerMedia INFORMATION has to offer as a buffer. For instance, AVerDiGi EH5216H Series, a prime example of Embedded Hybrid, 16CH IP/Analog camera DVR, has helped many small to large businesses in adopting new IP technology while keeping the existing Analog. And AVerDiGi CM3000 Gold also provided extra integration reinforcement in total access control of DVRs/NVRs and instant alarm notification, to name a few

Everyone was satisfied

"No doubt, AVerMedia INFORMATION is a worthy player in network surveillance market; we have been interested for a while in equipping from AVerMedia INFORMATION and were looking forward to active actions from this company in Russia market. AVerSeminar once again confirmed our intention to become a partner of AVerMedia INFORMATION in Russia. Demonstration of equipments and software attracted all participants� interest, which indicating a great potential of AVerDiGi brand image" said Alexander Kharkov, Executive Director of Algorithm SB.

Another comment from Andrew Wong of AVerMedia INFORMATION after the Seminar: "My job is to conduct trainings and seminars for our clients. Over the past three years I have held dozens of such kind of events. From my experience, an instant reaction from the participants is the main criterion for evaluating. If they ask questions and actively participated in discussion, ask to demonstrate additional capabilities of our equipments or software, of which are the indications of audiences interested in our solutions. Typically, this leads to further development of many partnerships. I appreciate this event very much! "

What�s next?

There were mainly two purposes of being the first hosting such seminar. First, it showed AVerMedia INFORMATION�s determination and focus to the Russia market. Last, it was a platform for promoting IP solutions in CCTV industry, experience sharing among distributors, and customers� feedback to improve AVerDiGi DVRs/NVRs.

"As the result of this event, we have found few new CCTV partners" said Sergey Trapani. "I am sure it will cause a butterfly effects to other manufacturers, integrators and installation companies. After the summer holidays, we will continue to hold similar events like this in other cities of Russia. IP-video surveillance is no longer the trend of the market, but reality, and we want to be the pioneer of this opportunity."

3rd ALL-OVER-IP Forum: IP Starts Growing, Analogue Continues to Fall

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0400

http://www.eng.all-over-ip.ru/news/66159

In the last 6 months, while IP video sales have rebounded, analog sales continue to fall.

According to IPVideoMarket experts, the video surveillance market can be segmented into 3 phases over the last few years:

Mirrored growth: Prior to the recession, both analog and IP were growing.

Stalled IP growth: After the recession hit (09/2008), IP growth rates fell much faster than analog growth rates. With panic, massive stock losses, etc., large organizations postponed or cancelled large projects favorable to IP.

Divergent growth: As the recovery commenced, larger projects favorable to IP started flowing again.

If the global economy continues to recover, end-users will be interested in developing new video surveillance systems and upgrading their existing solutions with more functional IP products.

On November 18, 2010 vendors and suppliers of IP and analogue security, telecom and IT solutions will compete for the budgets of prequalified Russia-s end-users and system integrators at the 3rd ALL-OVER-IP Forum.

All-over-IP exhibitors will be able to get advantage of the event-s unique opportunities:
