VQCM 4.8 webinar, TMS migration guidance & a deep dive on cloud outages
Following on from discussions at Cisco Live EMEA, sovereignty continues to shape how organizations approach collaboration, with the conversation now shifting from strategy to execution.
We’re focusing on what that looks like in practice: new capabilities within VQ Conference Manager, how to transition away from Cisco TMS and more.
Here’s what’s new this month.
Join our VQ Conference Manager 4.8 webinar
With the upcoming release of VQ Conference Manager 4.8, we’re hosting a webinar on Thursday 2nd April to run through the new features and capabilities included in this release.
In this session, the team will cover:
- Advanced Conferencing Center (ACC) – supporting complex, high-stakes meetings
- Extended unified conferencing across CMS and cloud services
- Enhanced high availability with faster failover
- Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) mode on Cisco video devices
- New automation and operational enhancements
How to migrate from Cisco TMS to VQ Conference Manager
With Cisco TMS approaching end of support in January 2027, many organizations are now actively planning their transition.
In our latest blog, we outline a practical approach to migrating from Cisco TMS to VQ Conference Manager, including:
- What a modern Cisco Meeting Server environment should look like
- How to assess your current TMS usage and dependencies
- Key considerations when defining your replacement architecture
- How to approach migration in a structured, low-risk way
What happens when the cloud goes down?
Video conferencing is now critical infrastructure, but most organizations still rely entirely on cloud platforms to keep it running.
In our latest blog, we explore what really happens when the underlying infrastructure behind those services fails, from data center outages to regional disruptions — and what that means for your ability to communicate when it matters most.
We also look at why more organizations are turning to sovereign, self-hosted conferencing to improve resilience and maintain control.
