Video as a service is a mode of delivery in which the point-to-point video conferencing service is outsourced to service providers over an IT network. Video as a service is a reliable alternative for business organizations that do not want to have the infrastructure for corporate video communication services. It offers the transmission of high-quality full-motion video and audio across several locations.
The surging demand for remote and real-time access to video services globally is likely to escalate the growth of the global video-as-a-service (VaaS) market significantly during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing adoption of cloud-based services by organizations will also complement the growth. Business cloud service platforms are difficult to install and also need expensive ownerships. Traditionally business organizations had to hire an infrastructure team for executing in managing the cloud infrastructure on their own servers. The VaaS has helped organizations to reduce the investment in developing the infrastructure. Cloud vendors own their service platform and offer services on their servers. Hence, organizations pay only for the resources they need to utilize the existing video conferencing services. The emergence of 5G technology is likely to transform the cloud computing world. 5G will enhance integration with zero latency facilitating smooth communication. However, mobile broadband will deliver a high-quality seamless experience for cloud video services like storage recording and conferencing.
