VBricks seamless integration with Lync begins with the VBrick Enterprise Media System (VEMS), a powerful behind the scenes media management engine that provides purpose-built infrastructure for large scale video distribution and content discovery. VEMS intelligent video networking operates over VBricks award winning encoding appliances and optional reflectors (Windows Media and H.264) to provide for a complete enterprise streaming video solution. The Lync Streaming Gateway serves as the link between the VBrick video platform and the Lync 2010 Server. It was designed to tightly integrate VEMS directly with the Lync Server, without any software installation on the server or the desktop. The power of VEMS can now be leveraged by the Lync 2010 client, or any Lync-enabled application, in a secure and network-friendly environment.
