Software-Defined AV: Liberate your Enterprise

 

Presented by: Michael McCarthy, Vice President Sales Americas from Utelogy

​

The rise of manufacturer-agnostic networks among enterprises has been long and steadily increasing. This can be seen in dramatic market growth for such technologies as desktop virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), and software-as-a-service (SaaS).

​

Much of the AV industry continues to be mired in ownership of proprietary boxes and programming languages. However, the surge in open platforms and cloud-based services that have greatly improved other industries has finally made its way into AV in recent years. For the AV industry overall, open technologies are helping organizations move away from their ‘black box’ approach and progress to software-defined AV.
