2. Enabling customer deployment choice
Lync Server
Private cloud / dedicated
Single domain & directory
Users split – server / online
Lync Hybrid
Office 365, Lync Online
Partner-hosted multi-tenant
Lync Online
Lync today supports on-Premises and Cloud deployments, and supports interoperability between on-premises Lync deployments and Office In Lync 2013, we will be updating the Server and the service will provide users with more choice in terms of how they deploy.
On premises: Lync can be deployed “on premises” configuration, just as it has in Lync This deployment approach supports customer premises deployments and Private Cloud deployments via license mobility
Cloud: Lync Online– standalone or as a part of an Office 365 suite– will continue to be available and will get the advantages of the feature and manageability improvements we deliver as part of Lync 2013
Hybrid: New in the Lync 2013 timeframe, enterprises will be able to split users between Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online, while keeping the same single domain name for all the users easing migration scenarios, especially where customers are eager to take advantage of the value of cloud services but where a portion of their users cannot move from an on premise deployment to the cloud.

VoIP automatic failover puts users in resiliency mode on backup pool.
Manual failover provides full service on backup pool:

17. Lync Backup Service
Synchronizes user data and conference content between paired Enterprise Pools or Standard Edition servers.
Synchronization cycle occurs every two minutes (by default).
Changes are exported in batches to zip files on Backup pool
Source pool signals Backup pool to import changes

18. Lync Backup Service
When changes have been imported, zip file is removed and a cookie is returned to the Source pool (high watermark).
At beginning of next synchronization cycle, Source pool uses cookie as starting point for exporting changes to Backup pool.
Additionally, when the Backup-CsPool or Invoke-CsPoolFailover cmdlets are run, they trigger the Backup Service to check for changes and send them to the paired pool.
The same process is simultaneously running to replicate changes from Backup Pool to the Source Pool as well.

22. Call Admission Control Least Cost Routing Location Based Routing

23. PSTN
Routing: why?
WAN
Call admission control (CAC) determines whether there is sufficient network bandwidth to establish a real-time session of acceptable quality. In Lync Server 2013, CAC controls real-time traffic only for audio and video, but it does not affect data traffic. If the default WAN path does not have the required bandwidth, CAC can attempt to route the call through an Internet path or the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
But, LBR let’s us address two other factors:
Regulatory compliance
Optimized call path for quality
Essentially, routing of VoIP calls is making the choice between using WAN resources or using the PSTN
If all PSTN calls were free, we would simply route to the closest PSTN gateway.
Cost is the driving factor for routing.

24. LCR & LBR Least cost routing Location-based routing
Route call to the gateway closest to the called party
Minimize toll charges (toll bypass)
Maximize use of WAN

Slide Objective
Provide a high level overview of which Lync capabilities are available in the server and online.
Key message
Lync server provides the full capabilities across Lync workloads and IT capabilities and should be the first consideration for enterprise customers.
Talking Points:
This slide provides a comparison of the Lync Online capabilities with those of the Lync Server. At a high level, you can see that Lync Online delivers IM and online meetings end user capabilities that make Lync stand out in the market. Let’s talk a bit about each of these feature categories:
IM & Presence is available in both server and online. This is the ability to see presence in Office and use chat to quickly reach the right person. This category also includes Lync-to-Lync video calls, as well as Lync calls with Windows Live users.
Online meetings (or conferencing) is also common across server and service. This includes ad-hoc and scheduled virtual meetings with up to 250 attendees.
Voice and PBX include Lync-to-phone, (also referred to as Voice), which is essentially the ability to place and receive calls from landlines and mobile phones. In addition, Lync Server includes telephony features that require integration with on-premises networks and equipment. With this comprehensive capabilities, Lync server can be leveraged to replace or enhance traditional corporate telephony solutions, leading to dramatically improved productivity and significant cost savings.
It should be noted that Lync-to-phone functionality (softphone only) is planned to be available in Lync Online in CY2012. however, this cloud capability will not include the full Lync PBX functionality, interop with existing PBX systems and will have limited carrier partner choices. Therefore, we believe that it will be most suitable for piloting the Lync end-user experience and for specific scenarios like workers in international locations.
For IT - Lync server provides the full capabilities that many enterprises require to run their organizations. These capabilities include the ability to securely archive instant messages and meeting content, and manage user policies and permissions using power shell scripting.
This means that customers who are looking to take advantage of the PBX and IT capabilities in Lync Server 2010, are advised to deploy Lync Server on premises (for all of the Lync workloads – IM, conferencing and Enterprise voice). It should be noted that customers will still be able to deploy Exchange (and SharePoint) in the cloud including voice mail and have that work seamlessly with Lync Server 2010 on-premises.

Conceptual deployment of Lync Online.
Contoso has a user on premises who connects to Lync Online through the internet.
Contoso also has a remote user who may be working from home or a coffee shop who connects to Lync Online through the internet as well. These two users can freely collaborate using Lync Online services. Also, it should be noted, both users have access to the same features so there is no difference sitting on-premises or working remotely.
We have one of Contoso’s partners, customers, clients, etc. (Fabrikam) who has implemented Lync Server 2013 (on-prem). Either Contoso user can communicate with the Fabrikam user via Lync Online, assuming the security policies of both companies has allowed for federation.
Lastly, we have a Skype user who either Contoso employees can also communicate with.
Note: Lync Online federates with Lync Server 2010 & 2013, OCS, and Skype. It does not federate with XMPP or Sametime.

New Web API powers LWA, Mobile & opens new opportunities to developers
Lync Web App
Mobile
Every Web Page a Lync Endpoint
In this release the UC Web API will power the Lync Web App.
It will power Mobile apps like for the iPhone, Android, Windows Phone!
But the bigger picture is that over time the same API will power every App on any OS with the full Lync experience.
Let me be very clear. Over time. The UC Web API will be beta at RTM. And will release with the Mobile clients of Wave 2 in Q1 of 2013.
And at that time we will only be able to support IM and Presence. And the other modalities are coming online in later releases.
Yet now being able to power every application with Lync functionality! And that is going to be huge!
