Lifesize Offers Customers a Scalable, Reliable
Global Video Network Powered by IBM Cloud’s Global SoftLayer
Platform
Lifesize, a division of Logitech (NASDAQ:LOGI) (SIX:LOGN), today
announced that its award-winning Lifesize® Cloud video conferencing
service interface is now available in 15 languages, enabling even
more collaboration for companies worldwide.
In order to address the multilingual needs of the global economy
and keep pace with strong customer demand internationally, both the
user interface for Lifesize Cloud and out-bound meeting invitation
emails for guest calling are available in 15 of the most widely
spoken languages worldwide: German, Italian, French, Spanish,
Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese
(Taiwan), Simplified Chinese (China), Korean, Russian, Brazilian
Portuguese, and English.
“Nearly one third of our Lifesize Cloud customers are outside
the United States, and we know that a global service needs to speak
to its users in their native language,” said Craig Malloy, Lifesize
founder and CEO. “That’s why we’re pleased to announce that in
addition to English, Lifesize Cloud is now available in 14 more
languages.”
“Lifesize Cloud allows our teams to communicate from anywhere
and any device, without costly infrastructure investments, IT
hassle or connectivity issues,” said Jose Luis Vega Pardo,
Capsa Food infrastructure and security manager. “Having the
Lifesize Cloud interface available in 15 languages will help us
expand our collaboration beyond our English-speaking team members.
We’ll be able to bring more people, in more sites and more
departments, into the discussion, which will move our business
forward faster.”
Key to Lifesize’s global strategy is IBM Cloud's global
SoftLayer infrastructure. SoftLayer has enabled Lifesize to expand
its cloud service into more than 80 new countries. By leveraging
SoftLayer data centers and points of presence (POPs) connected by a
single private network, Lifesize Cloud delivers secure, low-latency
video connections to its users worldwide. Bare metal and virtual
servers, multiple power feeds, fiber links, backup generators and
battery systems provide industry-leading reliability, and
SoftLayer’s growing global footprint ensures easy future expansion
to new markets. IBM Cloud has opened 13 new SoftLayer data centers
over the last 10 months, with additional locations launching by the
end of this year.
The backbone of Lifesize Cloud is its direct connectivity with
over 20 global carriers, which means that any Lifesize Cloud user
in the world on one of these carriers’ networks has a direct
high-speed connection into its cloud service. This direct
connection provides an exceptional video call experience because
the call doesn’t hop between different network switches and
providers, which could add delay and latency and diminish call
quality.
Today’s update will continue to fuel the global adoption of the
video SaaS offering and Lifesize® Icon™ family of connected room
video conferencing systems. Lifesize Cloud brings simple,
easy-to-use and scalable video communications to every person and
every conference room across devices, applications, browsers and
Lifesize endpoints.
