Halo’s Monthly End-to-End Managed Solution
The immersive collaboration experience that Halo delivers is only half the story. Halo is a complete
offering that includes an end-to-end managed solution. Halo’s managed solution means that HP takes
care of everything, so the customer can focus completely on utilizing Halo for faster business results.
There are three important points to consider when evaluating Halo’s managed monthly solution:
n No Network Upgrades Required: Halo runs on a truly global fiber optic backbone network dedicated
to Halo traffic – the Halo Video Exchange Network (HVEN). This means your company can realize
all the benefits of a truly immersive telepresence solution immediately, without additional time and
investments in network hardware, bandwidth and support staff. The HVEN is designed to allow
your company to scale its investment in telepresence affordably as business needs dictate, without
compromising the immersive experience. This leaves your IT staff free to focus on improving quality
of service for other critical core business operations.
n No Support Staff Required: HP’s Halo specially-trained operations team is dedicated to providing
around the clock support for Halo worldwide. There is no need for the customers to hire specially-trained
staff or have local staff on hand to setup meetings or handle support issues. Support is literally a
mouse click or phone call away.
n Cost Effective Global Reach: Through our investment in the HVEN, HP has developed alliances with
leading telecommunications providers in every major region of the world. As a result, HP is able
to offer the same high quality managed solution and immersive experience globally* at prices well
below what may be available through local/long haul carriers and service providers .
