The Video Registry is a scalable database driven solution that maps video user end-point data to network addressable identifiers across a Video Service Providers (MSP) network.

Querying the Registry returns optimal routing information, ensuring calls can go directly between video end-points, avoiding unnecessary and costly interworking network elements such as MCU’s.

The service enables MSP’s to more efficiently manage inbound and outbound video communications by creating a gateway access point for signaling and address management.

The Video Registry consists of three service layers:

Registry engine: Enables MSP’s to allocate and maintain a centralized routing plan in a complex network environment, removing the need to update and manage multiple platforms with routing information.

Policy Engine:  Allows full control over the terms of interconnection between Enterprise customers .The Policy management engine can be integrated into provisioning systems via API’s.

Directory: Enables end-users to search for the video contact information of other users within partner organizations directly from their browser.

Directory functionality can be integrated into a variety of video clients via an API or accessed from a secure web portal. 

The Registry is available in three deployment options:

Hosted: From XConnect’s global PoPs
Distributed: Query servers hosted within the MSPs network.
Dedicated: Implemented at MSP site or VNOC
