Protect Sensitive Information

The following are designed to guarantee the protection of confidential customer information: support for group video conferencing on client-controlled servers, centralized management and control of the service to the client's system administrator, lack of undocumented capabilities, as well as encryption of all transmitted data.

The increased penetration of IP networks and their active use in the commercial and public sectors exacerbates the issue of protecting confidential information, especially when it comes to negotiations organized using VoIP software products. Ensuring confidentiality of negotiations is the cornerstone of building reliable communications and remote interaction in government agencies and enterprises.

'Many
government agencies in Russia often use free cloud-based foreign VVoIP services that are subject to covert interference from foreign intelligence agencies. These clouds are managed and physically located in other countries and jurisdictions, which creates the risk of leakage of confidential information, and, accordingly, a direct threat to Russia's national security, says Andrei Sviridenko, chairman of the SPIRIT board. 'We have always sought to ensure that our software products have the maximum opportunity to ensure confidentiality and protect government and corporate interests, as well as the private information of our users'.

SPIRIT already has a unique domestic software product of its own design for multi-point web video conferencing VideoMost, which is protected from leakage of confidential information. VideoMost not only encrypts the transmitted data, but also allows you to place the VideoMost communication server both in the data center of a third-party verified service provider (for example, Rostelecom, SPIRIT's partner in the VideoMost product), and within the client's organization. In this case, the VideoMost communication server is fully controlled by the IT service of the client organization, which radically reduces the risks of external connection.

The implemented information protection mechanisms in the VideoMost software product are combined with the ability to conduct HD-quality video conferencing with an Internet connection with a data transfer rate of 512 Kbps. directly from personal computers running Windows, Mac, as well as from iPads. VideoMost achieves a record number of 50 simultaneous interactive video participants and another 500 viewers in each web video conference, and is the most convenient and secure tool for daily internal and external communications for the corporate sector and government customers to install in each workplace.

According to the independent analytical center TAdviser, presented in early July, according to the results of the first half of 2017, the share of the domestic video conferencing product VideoMost the Russian company Spirit accounted for 46.8% of the total number of VKS projects implemented in Russia. Leadership in the number of VideoMost implementations on the Russian VKS market has been maintained for the past four years (425 implemented VKS projects).

The VideoMost product is included in the Register of Russian software, can unite up to 100 interactive participants in one video conference, shows 16 video windows on a smartphone screen and supports up to 1000 parallel video channels on a standard PC server, which is critical to reduce the load and cost of the video service provider infrastructure.

"Based on the results of the functional comparison of video conferencing products conducted by TAdviser in 2016, VideoMost entered the top three world leaders among VKS suppliers in Russia, skipping forward only Polycom and Cisco," said Andrei Sviridenko, Chairman of the Board of Spirit. - The high quality of our product and confidence in us on the part of customers are also confirmed by the statistics of the last 4 years: VideoMost - number 1 in terms of the number of VKS projects implemented in Russia.

Screenshot of the screen, (2017)

System users cannot exchange text messages and files, cannot show each other desktops. However, Spirit announced plans to expand the interoperability of VideoMost and Skype for Business. This was not included in the customer requirements, but Microsoft has the necessary API.

VideoMost has made a gateway that allows you to connect Skype clients to our VKS, and this is very difficult and expensive to produce software, which, however, does not violate anything.

File:Aquote2.png

The cost of connecting Skype for Business clients to VideoMost Server is equal to connecting via SIP or H.323 protocols, which are also compatible with VideoMost. The price depends on the cost of the basic set of VideoMost Server licenses and does not depend on the number of Skype for Business connections. For users of the VideoMost SaaS cloud video conferencing service, integration with Skype for Business is included in the Enterprise tariff plan.

2015: Video conference 5.0

Version 5.0 introduces new features and improves the functionality available in previous versions of the product: 4K (Ultra HD) video quality, support for all popular mobile platforms, recording and broadcasting video conferencing, document collaboration, voting and polling, etc.

Stable video quality on narrow channels, a uniquely large number of interactive video participants in each conference room, low server requirements, compatibility with VKS equipment, scalability, security and ease of use are traditionally the key advantages of VideoMost software video conferencing.

  • VideoMost uses SVC (scalable video coding), which allows you to automatically adapt video quality to channel bandwidth and processor capabilities on the fly. The WebRTC platform, unlike VideoMost servers, does not support SVC. The new version of VideoMost significantly reduced the load on the Internet channel, which made video even more stable in networks with high packet losses, low bandwidth and rapidly changing characteristics (satellite channels, 3G networks, congested Wi-Fi and LTE networks).
  • VideoMost 5.0 supports more than 100 simultaneous interactive videos of participants in one conference, more than 300 videos of participants in the "Conference Call" mode, and more than 1,500 video viewers per broadcast server in the "Webinar" mode.
  • Improved compatibility with VKS equipment. In particular, the transfer of mixed video terminals to SIP now allows you to see up to 16 conference participants at the terminal.
  • Improved work with Chrome browser without plugins. Now the presence of WebRTC participants in the VideoMost conference does not require mixing and transcoding video on the server, which radically reduces the requirements for server capacity when using WebRTC clients together with VideoMost servers.
  • VideoMost 5.0 video conferencing client applications are available for Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems . The VideoMost server supports all popular OS Linux distributions .

Also made improvements to the functionality of the product:

  • The " Polling" function in the new version of VideoMost 5.0 allows you to conduct votes or polls among participants right during the conference.
  • Linux users can now showcase desktop and apps in a way that was previously available to Windows and OS X users.
  • Users of the VideoMost web application can accept full-screen demos of applications and documents.
  • Added support for Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and the procedure for updating the service in the VideoMost installer.
  • Server administrators have the ability to generate flexibly configured reports in the administrative panel.

2014

Video conference 4.0

On December 4, 2014, SPIRIT announced a new version of its multi-point web video conferencing software, VideoMost 4.0. The new VideoMost 4.0 allows for interactive, simultaneous video participation of 100 people in each conference on PCs and tablets.

VideoMost 4.0 allows 100 participants in the conference to receive and transmit video and voice from all other participants without additional settings, unlike the "conference selector" or "webinar" mode, where conference participants see and hear only a few speakers whom the conference administrator strictly allowed to speak. VideoMost 4.0 allows you to conduct live video discussions on the Internet in full interactive mode for free exchange of views, as in real life. During conference calls and webinars, the entire meeting does not hear or see anyone except the speaker, does not hear parallel comments, reactions and remarks from other people, which kills interactivity and gives rise to psychological discomfort in a large number of participants - "no one hears me." In a conference call or in a webinar, for example, there is no opportunity for the audience to interrupt, correct or stop a annoying or incorrect speaker, which is especially inconvenient when all participants in the meeting are physically removed from each other.

VideoMost 4.0 will expand opportunities for large private and public organizations, allowing you to hold emergency meetings, round tables and meetings practically without thinking about the number of participants in the conference, give all participants equal rights, connect to the conference, for example, all 85 subjects of the federation and up to 15 different points in Moscow, without infringing on anyone, without making anyone only a passive listener without the right to vote. Educational institutions will appreciate new opportunities to increase the effectiveness of learning and interactive communications between students, students and educators in large audiences.

VideoMost 4.0 has also expanded functionality, including moderation, administration and speaker management, if organizationally or administratively necessary, text chat premoderation, support for the XML-RPC protocol, scaling up to almost unlimited conferences in the cluster, customizable reports and many other new features demanded by large corporate and government clients.

Video conference 3.0

In April 2014, SPIRIT announced the release of a new version of the software product for multi-point web video conferencing VideoMost 3.0 with advanced functionality and compatibility with hardware AEROSPACE FORCES solutions, telephone network and Google. WebRTC

For the convenience of holding large conferences, in the third version of VideoMost, the number of simultaneously displayed participants on the screen was increased to 16 video windows.

VideoMost 3.0 has improved whiteboard performance, including the ability to draw on the board, edit text, zoom, and save images in svg and png formats. It also made it more convenient to record a video conference, including recording the remote work of participants with the documents on display.

Also, VideoMost 3.0 now allows you to see videos of interlocutors on one monitor, and files broadcast in a communication session (document sharing) on the second monitor. As a result of support for 2 monitors, visual contact between those present in the video conference is improved, regardless of whether the documents are displayed to the speaker.

By optimizing server load management, VideoMost 3.0 provides reliable scalability for up to 10,000 simultaneous video users on each server cluster. Connecting VideoMost server clusters to each other (federation) allows participants registered on different servers to participate in one video conference, and thus VideoMost can be effectively used (both through the web interface and through the downloadable Space application) at each workplace in very large organizations with a distributed geographical structure, with hundreds of thousands of employees. At the same time, the developers managed to further increase the performance of the video server (the simultaneous number of video channels per processor), which was already a record in the world, as well as the quality of video in communication networks with a bandwidth below 512 Kbps - for effective use in remote regions of Russia.

VideoMost 3.0 also improved compatibility with other popular communications and UC solutions. In particular, a new extended version of SIP has been implemented to connect calls from ordinary phones and already installed VKS equipment from Polycom and Cisco in VideoMost video conferencing.
