• Control Deployment The fact that Conference Server is a software solution also offers you control where you never had it before - control over deployment. Now, you can deploy and manage a single system which handles your voice, video, and data. You choose whether to run Windows or Linux, enabling you to utilize your in-house expertise. You choose what server hardware to run it on and you can afford to keep a spare for backup. You also can manage bandwidth among and between servers utilizing our unique Intelligent LinkingTM technology.
• Control the Cost of Ownership Conference Server leverages your investments in voice and video systems by adding to their functionality or by affordably scaling deployment to include more people. Not only can you extend your videoconferencing capabilities to every desktop in your organization, but you can do it affordably when compared to other solutions.
  
  A software solution is easy to upgrade to add functionality and can keep pace with the advances in processor speed and performance.
