  1. New Features Lync 2013 Peter Imhof

  2. Integrated System

  3. Persistent Chat • Access through unified Lync client • Integrated in Lync Server Architecture • Highly available • Compliant • Unified client • Connects anywhere to persistent chat rooms • Large rooms support • Unified Lync administration • Disaster recovery support • Compliance database option available Mirrored SQL Lync persistent chat pool AD Persistent chat (XCCOS) SQL SQL SQL Registration, presence (SIP) persistent chat (XCCOS) Lyncedge Lync FE pool Registration, presence (SIP) persistent chat (XCCOS) Reverse proxy

  4. Video Conferencing • Prime time video conferencing • Built-in Front-End component • Software based reducing the cost of conferencing • Interoperable for investment protection • High-definition quality • Multiple video streams • Switched or pinned contacts • Smart cropping • Active speaker detection and indication • Support of H.264and VC-1 for third party videoconferencing and telepresenceinteroperability

  5. How is SVC Different? Lync 2010/Office Communications Server Traditional Video Conferencing Lync A/V MCU Active Speaker VC MCU Previous Speaker Other Attendees

  6. How is SVC Different? 1 • User 1’s Lync client sends low + high res streams • MCU sends full stream to User 2 6 2 • User 2 puts User 1 in full screen • Initially, all users are sending a single stream of video and receiving streams of up to 5 other participants 5 3 4 • MCU continues to send low resolution streams to all other users

  7. Web Conferencing • Immersive virtual meeting • Innovation through software • Reduce cost of the network • Improve scale and reach • Lync 2013 Web App for web based meeting. • Application sharing, audio/video through browser plug-in • Microsoft Office Web Application Companion Server • One-click Lync meeting scheduling from Exchange OWA Edge server AD EE pool SQL Reverse proxy WAC SIP and Media traffic traffic *New in Lync Server 2013 and Office 2013 http

  8. Skype Federation Microsoft Cloud • Lync Edge server required to enable inbound/outbound SIP traffic – the same edge server enables remote work for employees and Lync Meetings with external parties • Domain activated via Microsoft • All media and signaling encrypted over public internet • Can also be enabled for Lync Online On-Premises Lync Server Deployment MSNP Gateway (IM/P, Contacts) Lync Edge Server AD MSNP SIP - TLS Lync Federation Service Edge SQL G.722 RTP Audio Gateway

  9. Provision for Skype Connectivity Go to https://pic.lync.com and provision your domain This tells our service where to send inbound messages and informs Skype & Messenger that your Lync domain is available for connectivity Step 1: PROVISION Step 2: EDGE SET UP Step 3: CONFIGURE CONNECTIVITY AND POLICIES

  10. Skype connectivity capabilities by edition Supported clients Lync 2013 Lync (Windows Store App) Lync 2013 for Windows Phone 8 Lync 2013 for iOS Lync 2013 for Android Lync 2010 Skype for Windows 6.3+ Skype for Mac 6.3+ • Skype end users must have a Microsoft account associated with their Skype ID • Update of cloud service to enable audio calling may not release concurrently with Skype 6.x • Carryover from Windows Live Messenger (WLM). Functional but not supported. As part of the migration from WLM to Skype, Skype 6.0 allows signing in with a Microsoft Account (i.e., the same credentials as WLM). After simply signing in to Skype with a Microsoft Account, associated WLM buddy lists automatically populate into Skype. This includes any WLM users’ federated Lync contacts. Lync customers do not need to do anything to enable this continuity of service. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12124/what-happens-when-i-sign-in-to-skype-with-my-microsoft-account

  11. Demo Skype Federation

  12. Skype – Lync Authentication and Contacts • LiveID account types and SIP addresses • Microsoft Accounts: msn.com, hotmail.com, live.com, outlook.com, etc… • EASI ID (The Acronym “EASI” stands for “email as sign in” as per KB2566829)For example, a user having a mailbox in your organization can have an EASI ID joe@fonstone.com • The EADI ID is NOT a SIP or SMTP address… It is used only for authentication. • If it has to be used for IM and presence, its corresponding SIP address is joe(fonstone.com)@msn.com • Remember the Skype – Lync Federation only works if the Skype account is signed in with the Microsoft account (LiveID)

  13. Mobile • Extend Lync mobile reach with UC Web Access • Mobile Enterprise grade unified communication • Single client and user identity • Built-in Front-End web services based on REST APIs • Single client for Online and On-premise, reducing the complexity of deployment • Active Directory based authentication • Optimized for battery and bandwidth usage • VOIP, Video over IP or PSTN callbacks. GSM Media gateway DMZ Internet Reverse proxy Media server Lync server Lync push notificationservices WiFi Edge server Mediaforcallback SIP https (XML) Push notification for Windows Phone VOIP App notifications for iOS Voice/Video over IP

  14. Enterprise Voice New in Lync 2013 Inter-Trunk Routing M:N Trunk Routing Caller ID Translation Unassigned Number Range handling E.911 Improvements New Conference PSTN Dial-Out policies Response Group Managers Roles New Call Forwarding and Simultaneous Ringing options Voicemail escape Delegates Simul-Ring Voice Services resiliency through HA/DR • Enterprise grade telephony. • Built-in component, no other server required. • Scale with voice like other workloads • Centralized management, distributed.

  15. Introduction to Lync Topologies

  16. Single Server System • Standard Edition server runs all workloads • No other server required to additional functionalities • All in one box deployment • Ideal for proof of concept, pilot, small and medium businesses • Functionality: IM, Presence, Voice, Video, Conferencing, Mobility • PSTN access with Gateway, Direct SIP or SIP Trunk • HA/DR if paired with another SE server AD Optional backup Standard edition Pairing Standard edition

  17. Scalable Server Pools • Enterprise Edition Front End pool • Back End Server with SQL Server • Ideal for large and medium size businesses, regional deployment. • Scale up by adding up to 12 FE serversin a pool • Collocate Archiving DB, Monitoring DB, PChat DBs on Back End Servers • High Availability by FE failover and Mirrored Back End Servers Enterprise edition front end servers AD SQL

  18. Higher Scale Architecture • New loosely coupled architecture and SQL Mirroring • Data, Presence stored and synchronized across Front-end • Distributed users and services across the Front-Ends • Built-in pool high-availability Lync 2010 pool 8 Front-Ends, tightly coupled back end Lync 2013 pool 12 Front-Ends, loosely coupled store SQL DB business logic Storage SQL SQL DB used for presence updates, subscriptions Dynamic data: presence updates handled on FEs 1..8 FE 1..12FE

  19. Lync 2013 HA Model Lync 2010 Pool Lync 2013 Preview Brick Pool 10 FE + tightly coupled back end Lync 2013 Preview (FE s+ loosely coupled Back-end store) Blob Storage DB used for storing “Blobs” – persisted store SQL® Server database (DB) bottleneck – business logic DB used for presence updates and subscriptions Dynamic data: Presence updates handles on FEs 1-N Front End Servers 1-10 Front End Servers • Capacity: • TBD – Will be published at product release • Evaluating 12-20 servers per pool • Capacity: • 10 servers/pool • 80,000 concurrent users/pool 19

  20. High Availability Front End Group 1 Group 2 Group 1 Group 3 • Windows Fabric is installed on each Front End • Users are provisioned to a pool in Routing Groups • Via fabric, three replicas of routing group data are kept updated Fabric node Fabric node Fabric node User Group 1 Group 3 Group 2 Fabric node Group 2 Group 1 Fabric node Fabric node Group 3 User Group 2 20

  21. High Availability - Architecture • Lync Users are automatically mapped to “Groups” • Each “Group” is dynamically assigned to 3 Front-end servers within a Pool (a Primary, a Secondary and a Tertiary). • When a user logs in, the Primary server will start servicing all of the user’s requests. • Changes to the user’s data (such as Contact list changes) will be synchronously replicated to secondary/tertiary as well (3 replicas). • If a primary server dies, then this group would fail over to the secondary. (No data loss) • Writes to the back-end database occur periodically (not synchronous). • When a server dies, all the “Groups” assigned to that server as will failover to different servers (load balancing).

  22. High Availability – How does it work? • Bob is homed on FE1 (primary) • There are 3 copies of this user’s data: 1 primary (FE1), 2 backups (replicas in FE2, FE3) • User is signed in to primary • User’s activities, data are replicated Pool Back-end FE1 FE2 FE3 • Primary goes down • User re-signs to one of the backups • Replicated data is available on FE2. User Bob

  23. Disaster Recovery Pool Failure Site Failure • Two pools can be “paired” • Backup agent on a Front End writes deltas to a DFS share • DFS replicates share content between Lync pools • Same as “pool failure”, but applied to geographically distinct pools

  24. Disaster Recovery – Data Replication Pool 1 Pool 2

  25. Disaster Recovery – Pool Failover Pool pairing in Lync 2013: Enables Active-Active mode for two properly sized pools within the same datacenter Provides real-time persistent data replication between paired pools via Backup Service Failover and Failback are not automated

  26. Disaster Recovery Pool Failure “Pool pairing” enables Active-Active mode for two properly sized pools within the same datacenter Backup Service provides real-time persistent data replication between paired pools Site Failure Same support as for pool failure as above for Lync 2013 pools but with pools in geographically distributed data centers Supported for Lync 2013 pools only

  27. Edge signaling independent of media User homed in EU Also for meetings created by user User will always use this pool for AV Edge US EU Contoso

  28. Edge Federation flows User homed in EU Edge Pool used for Federation Edge Pool used for Federation User will always use this pool for AV Edge EU US EU Litwareinc Contoso

  29. Migration Legacy and latest remote access. Legacy and latest federation. Latest remote access. • Install new server or new client first, your choice. • Multiple version of Lync server in the same infrastructure. • Move users across pool with no users loss of data. • Allows seamless migration for users. Production Pilot Legacy pool Latest pool Legacy edge Latest edge SQL SQL Legacy director Latest director AD

  30. Redeploy Survivable Branch Appliances Move branch users to another pool Remove Lync Server 2010 SBA from topology Add Lync Server 2013 SBA to topology and configure FE pool as Backup Registrar Move users back to the new SBA

  31. Mobility Coexistence
