  1. Vidyo Pilot – Results and Plans Video Conferencing Service 9th August 2010 Tim Smith Thomas Baron, João Correia Fernandes

  2. Background • 2006 • CERN room refurbishments • RCTF (Remote Collaboration Task Force) • 2007 • EVO no longer free (DoE budget cuts) • 2008 • ATLAS and CMS significant contributions • EVO Oversight Board • 2009 • LCEB (LHC Collaborative Environment Board) • Service provision responsibility transferred to CERN-IT • (EVO commercial offering; one amongst others) • Selection of product • Q1: Establish LHC Experiment requirements • Q2: Market assessment; 20 potential, 4 retained

  3. Vidyo • Business • Venture capital startup (2008) • Google; Gmail video chat • Cisco, Hitachi, Teleris • Apr 2010 HP announced strategic partnership with Vidyo • Numerous awards; “the next big thing” • Technology • Developed H.264/SVC video compression standard • Granted patent “System and Method for a Conference Server Architecture for Low Delay and Distributed Conferencing Applications” • Avoids centralised MCU (multipoint control unit) • Low latency, increased quality, network error tolerance • Automatic scalable bit rate adaption • Automatic scalable resolution adaption

  4. Vidyo Pilot: phase I • 2009 Aug • Vidyo Pilot purchased; 50 ports & 50 licences • 2010 Apr • LHC experiments agreed to test Vidyo • LCEB defines 2 month pilot (May-June) • Experiments to answer on 1st July • “Does Vidyo meet your needs?” • Vidyo Pilot setup extended • 100 ports & 400 licences • Audio bridge • Beta release Linux client provided

  5. Vidyo Pilot: results • Technical issues • Login/download problems • CERN certificate handling issue • Linux client problems • No chat functionality • Wide scale test (>50) not performed • ALICE: “accepts Vidyo can serve their needs” • LHCb: “testing positive” • ATLAS • “feedback positive, quality higher than EVO” • Linux client and chat mean cant conclude yet • CMS • “When users connect, audio & video better than EVO” • Is promising but not ready yet for LHC production • LCEB: extend pilot, run systems in parallel

  6. Vidyo Pilot: plan • Extend pilot with goal: • Linux client at same level as other platforms • Meet maximum scale (500 connections) • IT to test as well as experiments • Setup • 100 ports, 650 licences • MCU bridge to allow EVO and Vidyo clients • Audio bridge • Timescales • Linux client GA in September • Router cascading GA in November • Experiments to express result... End of year?
