RedCLARA’s Video –conference Service (SIVIC) approach in Latin-American

NRENs

Integrated  Video-­‐conference  service  (SIVIC)  

   •  The  SIVIC  is  a  service  for  coordina3ng,  and  delivering  video-­‐conference  services  among  La3n-­‐American  NRENs.  The  concept  is  to  deliver  a  federated  service  with  the  same  standards  and  procedures  for  all  par3cipant  ins3tu3ons.  

Video-­‐conference  service  challenges  

•  Video-­‐conference  service  scheduling  and  coordina3on  are  complex  manual  processes.  

•  Lack  of  quality/service  standardiza3on  across  different  ins3tu3ons  

•  The  ins3tu3ons  do  not  manage  common  policies  and  procedures  video-­‐conference  services.
