Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has upgraded its Rainbow Hybrid solution with a new conferencing and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) User Interface (UI).
According to the company, the update applies to both Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s hybrid and private cloud offers and delivers an improved user experience (UX). It also offers greater flexibility and optimisation thanks to its streamlined layout.
The interface features new and intuitive status icons which default to dark or light mode depending on whether they are in use. The grid layout has also been enhanced with active speaker mode and simultaneous P2P screen sharing.
Optimisation is attained with the introduction of a hide/show feature for the chat panel, and a simultaneous view of both the live conference and chat windows.
In addition to an overall improvement in UX, new features have been introduced including easier cycling between speakers, simplified switching to full-screen mode, and background blurring. The upgrade will also notify a user if they are speaking but their microphone is turned off.
As well as the flexibility the new UI provides, with Rainbow’s CPaaS open-source architecture, users have the freedom to connect with other systems that provide an API connection. It enables them to develop and deploy unique applications, helping developers to get the most out of their Rainbow integration.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise highlighted that Rainbow continues to provide users with complete security and data sovereignty.
Samuel Tourbot, Vice President Cloud Solutions at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, said, “By continually evolving Rainbow we are helping our customers overcome their present and future business challenges. Our new Rainbow interface enables users to optimise their time with a host of features designed to deliver greater efficiency and productivity. As well as enhancing the technology, our goal remains to support our customers on their journey to the cloud by offering a range of different business models to suit their needs and objectives.”
