"It’s been almost three years since Atlassian acquired HipChat and the
product is now at the center of the company’s strategy as it doubles down
on team collaboration. Today, it’s launching a new version of HipChat for
enterprise users who want (or need) to run the service on their private
networks.
Enterprises can now install a virtual machine that runs HipChat. This
version will include all the standard features that are now part of the
tool, including the recently launched video chat functionality. Users who
switch from the Atlassian-hosted version to HipChat Server won’t notice any
major differences, with the exception that the server edition can be
integrated with a company’s existing enterprise identity management
services."...During its beta period, HipChat Server was already up and
running at about 4,000 companies. As Bernardo de Albergaria, Atlassian’s VP
and general manager of the company’s newly formed Collaboration business
unit, told me last week, the company decided to put more and more resources
into HipChat over the last few years and now sees the product as one of its
main priorities. Atlassian plans to triple the team dedicated to HipChat
over the course of the next year."
