PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Masergy announced today it has achieved Cisco Powered Managed Cisco TelePresence™ Connectivity and Cisco Powered Managed Connectivity designations from Cisco by establishing the resources and procedures necessary to deploy, manage and support these Cisco Powered services.

“We now can offer our partners global MPLS and TelePresence network services that have met Cisco’s rigorous certification”
“We now can offer our partners global MPLS and TelePresence network services that have met Cisco’s rigorous certification,” said John Dumbleton, senior vice president of business development at Masergy. “This is in line with our commitment to provide our partners and our enterprise clients with superior network services, especially to support their real-time application requirements.”

A Cisco Powered designation recognizes a solution provider’s investment in the tools and processes necessary to provide high-quality network-based managed services. It not only acknowledges that the managed service provider has invested in industry-leading Cisco solutions, but also entitles the solutions provider to take advantage of Cisco resources to envision, build, market and sell its managed services, contributing to market acceptance and adoption.

“Managed services allows companies to align IT and business goals, enabling them to focus scarce internal resources on their core competencies while servicing day-to-day IT infrastructure and operational needs through technology delivered as a service,” said Edison Peres, senior vice president of the worldwide channels go-to-market group at Cisco. “By achieving Cisco Powered designations, Masergy has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand.”

In addition, Masergy’s participation in the Cisco Managed Services Channel Program indicates that its Cisco Powered services have undergone a rigorous third-party assessment and have met requirements based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library® (ITIL) framework of best practices and market and industry requirements.

Vidyo Secures $25 Million for Videoconferencing Solutions

Hackensack, NJ -- April 1, 2010 – Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced a $25 million Series C round of financing, bringing the total amount of capital raised by the company to $63 million since its founding in 2005. All existing investors, Menlo Ventures, Rho Ventures, Seven-Rosen Funds and Star Ventures, participated in the round, which was led by Four Rivers Group. The funding enables Vidyo to expand its sales and marketing efforts to meet the global market demand for desktop and room-based HD multipoint video conferencing systems.

"Personal telepresence is a nascent, quickly growing market and our continued expansion is evidence that companies recognize the availability of a game-changing video conferencing solution that provides telepresence-quality at a price point that supports massive deployment,” said Ofer Shapiro, CEO and co-founder of Vidyo. "Vidyo is fortunate to have been recognized by outstanding investors who understand the growth and transformation occurring today in the videoconferencing market across HD room systems, PC and Mac desktops, laptops, netbooks, and soon smart phones, and to have been rewarded for our performance."

Vidyo was recently named to the Wall Street Journal’s “Next Big Thing” List of top venture-backed private companies for its ground-breaking technology that delivers low latency, multipoint videoconferencing over any IP network including the Internet or LTE, 3G or 4G networks. The WSJ List ranks the company’s Board of Directors as 4th among the top 50 companies. In October 2009, Vidyo was awarded a patent on its VidyoRouter™ architecture, which leverages H.264 SVC, the latest standard in video compression technology.

“The video conferencing market will undergo exponential growth in the next five years, and new leaders will emerge as MCU-based room systems and expensive high-QoS network-based immersive telepresence rooms are usurped by video conferencing solutions that provide natural interaction and scale affordably to accommodate mass deployment, ” said Avery More, Vidyo co-founder and Chairman. “Vidyo is leading the innovation charge in the video conferencing industry today and has emerged as a disruptive force as the market moves from video conferencing for a few, to solutions for everyone, wherever they are and whenever they need to meet."
