DENVER -- Virtela, the global network solutions company, today announced it is teaming with Vectus Media to deliver collaborative communication applications such as telepresence anywhere in the world. Vectus Media, which markets and integrates collaborative communications solutions, chose Virtela for its superior managed network services that optimize the delivery of advanced video communications. Virtela and Vectus have already signed their first joint customer, a leading solutions provider for financial markets and multi-nationals.

"This end-customer deployment with Vectus will provide a high-performance, highly-resilient telepresence solution enabling the business to conduct face-to-face meetings without wasting time, money or environmental resources on travel," said John Powell, Virtela's vice president of global channels. "Leveraging videoconferencing or telepresence over Virtela's network enables companies to connect to those outside of their corporate perimeter because we are carrier-, vendor- and technology-agnostic. Together with Vectus, we're hoping to extend the benefits of these integrated solutions to new regions and industries for companies of all sizes."
