MICROSOFT SERVER VIRTUALIZATION 2022 - PLANNING & DESIGNING MICROSOFT LYNC SERVER SOLUTIONS
The Microsoft Server Virtualization 2022 - Planning & Designing Microsoft Lync Server Solutions course is an advanced, design-centric professional program focused on architecting enterprise unified communications (UC) solutions using Microsoft Lync Server deployed on virtualized Windows Server 2022 infrastructure. Leveraging platforms and architectural best practices from Microsoft, this course emphasizes planning, design, and architecture decisions rather than operational administration. Participants learn how to translate organizational communication requirements into scalable, resilient, secure, and high-performance Lync Server designs, optimized for Hyper-V-based virtualization and modern data center environments. The program is ideal for professionals responsible for designing collaboration and real-time communication platforms in virtualized and hybrid-ready infrastructures. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Analyze business and technical requirements for Lync Server deployments Design Lync Server architectures on Windows Server 2022 virtualization platforms Plan capacity, performance, and scalability for UC workloads Design high availability and disaster recovery strategies Plan secure internal, external, and remote access Produce professional design documentation and architecture diagrams
