VBrick Systems announced a partnership with Glowpoint empowering the broadcast and management of live events over the Internet. Under the terms of the agreement, both Glowpoint and VBrick will promote and sell a bundled service combining the VBrick Online Streaming Service and Glowpoint’s QOS Managed Video Network Services. The combined solution creates a unique plug and play capability for customers to manage and monetize video content and leverage the power of Internet distribution by making it very easy for them to distribute live and on-demand video on the Internet in their own branded Internet TV.

Glowpoint has extensive experience in providing services to the broadcast industry for live two-way HD interviews. This new bundled solution will allow Glowpoint to expand beyond two-way services and help its customer easily create and distribute content captured using the Glowpoint network to the Internet on the VBoss platform. The general release of this product offering is targeted for June.

The VBrick Online Streaming Service enables enterprises to maintain business control while creating engaging Internet TV programming. End-users are given their own VBoss account and designated Media Management capabilities that allow them to have the power of channel brand ownership and content creation. By adding other systems elements to the video appliance, such as network storage and reflectors for bandwidth amplification, VBrick can provide a complete system known as VBoss. Combined with the QOS assurance of Glowpoint Network Access the combined solution will create more reliability in a market craving dependability.

VBoss is the only complete Internet TV solution that allows enterprises to broadcast live video. The VBoss solution allows end-users to stream, manage, monetize and deliver video content on the public Internet. The package includes live video capture hardware, the VBoss Media Management Console, streaming bandwidth, video storage, monetizing tools, reporting tools, community building features and distribution partnerships to increase viewership.

There will be a live demonstration at Glowpoint’s booth (#SU13510) at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show. Live HD content, starting Tuesday, April 15th will be broadcast from the show floor and streamed directly to the Internet at www.glowpoint.com/TV demonstrating the capabilities of the HD video content streamed over the VBoss platform.
