Philippe Galvez <evosupport at vrvs.org> writes in reply to my query 
"Future of EVO ?":

CERN alone is moving to Vidyo. In fact, they will try to deploy an
infrastructure (which they don't have yet) to support their 
contingency.
The LHC experiments are not yet moving.
      EVO is moving also with a commercial version. See at:
http://www.seevogh.com . It is still in beta and not yet widely public
as we are building the last pieces.
In the meantime since EVO service is going beyond the CERN umbrella in
supporting international scientific collaborations and we are still
supported by funding agencies, the service will remain available for the
research community.
