A few words about devops and as an introduction to my next post: Hosted services used to be developed and deployed very similar to how products are released (see figure). There was a development phase, then an integration and test phase, then the component would be released and installed, including going through one or more staging environments. This would be done by an … [Read more...] about A short comment on devops (and an intro…)

I promised in my last post on the hybrid bridge to cover more details on the inner workings of the hybrid bridge. This post is a part of my series on the next-generation multi stream video architecture. You may get more out of this post if you read my last post first, but I have tried to write this post in such a way that you don’t have to!First of all, you need to understand … [Read more...] about Do you want to have all your meetings on a hybrid bridge?
