Platform Hosting

Robust Hosting with
MS Azure and Kubernetes

The Virtual Hive platform is hosted on MS Azure, using a micro-service based engine run by a Kubernetes cluster. As illustrated below, individual services (purple symbols) are deployed on virtual server nodes. Kubernetes ensures balanced availability and autoscaling, adjusting the number of services and nodes to meet current load demands.

Use Cases

The Use Case for Your Needs

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Program and Content_ Access & Languages_ Anonymous Access_ User Privacy Assurance

Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies the login process, enhancing both user convenience and security. With SSO, users log in once to access multiple applications, reducing the need to manage multiple passwords. This centralised authentication, improving security by minimising password fatigue and reuse. IT departments benefit from reduced time spent on password resets. The login field background can be branded with your organisation's colours or an image, ensuring visual consistency and reinforcing brand trust. Additionally, SSO supports integration with multiple identity providers (open ID connect) like Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, allowing users to choose their preferred and most secure login method.

Event Ticketing

Realistic ID Cards

If our registration, event analytics, and branded event emails aren't enough, you can further streamline ticket management and post-event communications with your preferred ticketing software. Please note, integrations come at an additional cost.

Multitenancy

How the virtual experience platform works-2

The platform is a multitenant cloud SaaS platform meaning that a single instance of a software application (and its underlying database and hardware) serves multiple tenants (or user accounts). In the VH platform a user account equals a hive which can be accessed by an arbitrary number of visitors. 

At a very high level, the platform is composed of two web-based applications, one for hive administrators owing a license and one for guests invited into a specific hive. Both applications communicate with the platform engine mainly using http and websocket protocols. The engine is based on a micro-service architecture with specific services supporting different functionality.     

Third-Party Integrations

Example of embedding third-party technologies inside Virtual Hive - here it is Slido as an embedded chat

Our platform is designed with a flexible IT infrastructure that supports integration with a wide range of third-party applications, enhancing its efficiency and functionality. By integrating these tools, you can create a more seamless and interactive experience for your attendees. Here are some examples of the integrations we support and have previous experience with:

Interprefy: Integrate with Interprefy for real-time language interpretation. This ensures that attendees from different linguistic backgrounds can fully participate and understand the content, making your event more inclusive.

Miro: Miro's online collaborative whiteboard platform can be embedded into our platform, allowing for interactive brainstorming sessions, workshops, and collaborative projects. This integration enhances the engagement and productivity of your virtual meetings and events.

Slido: Incorporate Slido to facilitate live polls, Q&A sessions, and interactive quizzes. This integration helps in boosting audience participation and gathering real-time feedback during presentations and discussions.

SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey integration enables you to create and distribute surveys easily. Collect valuable feedback and data from your attendees to understand their needs, preferences, and experiences better.

Freshchat: Embed Freshchat to provide real-time customer support and engage with your attendees instantly. This live chat solution helps in addressing queries, providing assistance, and enhancing overall user satisfaction.

Kahoot: Use Kahoot to host live interactive quizzes and games. This tool is perfect for making sessions more engaging and fun, ensuring that your attendees are actively involved and enjoying the experience.

By integrating these third-party tools, our platform becomes a versatile hub for all your event needs, ensuring a smooth and interactive experience for both administrators and attendees. While Virtual Hive will assist with the integration setup as part of the licence (there might be additional costs if the integration is more sophisticated than normal), customers must first purchase a licence from the third-party provider. Once the licence is acquired, customers need to submit an embed code or API key to Virtual Hive to complete the integration.

Customer Subdomain

When creating a hive in the Virtual Hive platform, it defaults to a URL like https://<customer-defined-name>.virtualhive.live, such as https://producttour.virtualhive.live, where 'Producttour' is customer-defined. Alternatively, you can use a subdomain of your domain for various benefits. For example, if your domain is customer.com and you want the hive at https://virtual.customer.com, follow this process:

The customer decides on a subdomain and adds a CNAME record in their DNS pointing to the default Hive URL provided by Virtual Hive. Virtual Hive then creates a certificate for the subdomain by generating a value for a TXT record, which is sent to the customer for domain verification. The customer adds this TXT record to the root domain. Virtual Hive completes the certificate creation and adds it to the hive. Finally, both parties test that https://virtual.customer.com displays the hive landing page. This ensures the hive is accessible via a custom, branded URL aligned with your domain.
