12. Vidyo Evaluation Timeline DateActivityResults Spring-Summer 2010Limited Testing by IT, Small MeetingsPotential Replacement, but limited Linux Support Fall-Winter 2010-2011Installation of Routers, Licenses for Large-Scale Tests New Clients for SLC5, Ubuntu need improvement Spring 2011Large-Scale and Production Tests by IT, ATLAS, CMS (and all together) Survey Results indicate general satisfaction with audio, video, interface, but need more Linux clients supported Summer 2011Survey Results, ATLAS & CMS Comments forwarded to IT FI launched market bid between EVO and Vidyo September 2011CERN Finance, IT select Vidyo, to be paid for from CERN funds LHC Experiments express need to keep EVO until communication with Vidyo is proven reliable. Experiments will pay. IN2P3 Webinaire - 17 Nov 2011S.

14. ATLAS Plans  Criteria  Video conferencing must remain available for collaboration  Support expected for all commonly used platforms  EVO will be supported until that is the case, but no longer  Migration Plans 1.Establish documentation for collaboration (see links at end) 2.Migrate Weekly Meeting, Closed EB, Physics Coordination 3.Migrate Open EB 4.Migrate Physics Plenaries Note : Each new step requires success of previous step IN2P3 Webinaire - 17 Nov 2011S.

15. Status, Notes  Status  Awaiting clear plan from IT  Issues to check:  CERN-Wide Registration System & Licenses  Infrastructure for Simultaneous EVO/Vidyo Usage  Will announce when plan is ready (expected soon)  Notes  This is NOT an evaluation. We will move to production mode, assuming all will work well. All problems MUST be reported.  You DO NOT need to change your equipment. IN2P3 Webinaire - 17 Nov 2011S.
