Whilst Lync 2013 has now been renamed Skype for Business 2015, it is generally backwards compatible with Lync Server 2013. The paper is specifically based on Skype for Business 2015. Within these papers, the terms Lync, Skype, Skype for Business and SfB, unless stated otherwise, all refer to Skype for Business Server 2015. Whilst we will specifically look at A/V Conferencing and Application Sharing and how these integrate with H.323 systems, we will also touch on the components and roles required for Instant Messaging (IM) and Enterprise Voice. Hence, the purpose of these papers are to provide an overview of Skype for Business 2015 so that the reader has an understanding of the servers, their roles and their functions and is therefore in a better position to determine what they actually need for their specific Skype for Business 2015 deployment.
If there was, for a vast majority of cases, this would be an inappropriate and expensive solution as it would have to include a lot of redundant functions that were not needed. We will show the four main methods of deploying Skype for Business 2015 listing their servers and indicating the connections along with the protocols that they use.Īs you read through this and the other papers, it should become apparent that Skype for Business 2015 is modular and that there is no one solution that covers everything.
Hence, it will focus on the communications used in A/V Conferencing and Application Sharing. This paper provides an overview of the various methods in which Skype® for Business 2015 - SfB - (Lync® 2013) can be deployed and is Part 1 of a series that specifically looks at Microsoft Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013) and the challenges and solutions for integrating Skype for Business 2015 with H.323 or SIP standards compliant videoconferencing systems.
