Tandberg, a global provider of telepresence, high-definition videoconferencing and mobile video solutions, has announced the support of Codian and Sony products by the Tandberg Management Suite (TMS). In addition, the support of Polycom HDX systems is planned for the first half of 2008.

A large number of enterprise videoconferencing deployments include video systems and/or infrastructure devices such as Multipoint Control Units, gateways and gatekeepers from multiple vendors, which can present challenges for system managers.
“We are committed to a vendor agnostic platform and open standards”, said Håkon Dahle, Tandberg Chief Technologist. “TMS allows an organisation to fully utilise its video investment, no matter what videoconferencing device is being used.”

With TMS comes the ability to manage endpoints and devices from different manufacturers using a single management interface and platform, which decreases the burden on support staff and lowers the total cost of ownership for video networks.

The Tandberg Management Suite (TMS), which already supports a wide range of third-party products, will now support select Sony and Codian products in November 2007. Support for Polycom HDX products is planned for the first half of 2008.
