Vidyo Evaluation TimelineDate Activity Results
Spring-Summer 2010
Limited Testing by IT, Small Meetings
Potential Replacement, but limited Linux Support
Fall-Winter 2010-2011
Installation of Routers, Licenses for Large-Scale Tests
New Clients for SLC5, Ubuntu need improvement
Spring 2011 Large-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 2011 Survey Results, ATLAS & CMS Comments forwarded to IT
FI launched market bid between EVO and Vidyo
September 2011 CERN 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.

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 Plans1. Establish documentation for collaboration (see links at end)2. Migrate Weekly Meeting, Closed EB, Physics Coordination3. Migrate Open EB4. Migrate Physics PlenariesNote: Each new step requires success of previous step

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.
