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, architecture-focused professional program designed to equip participants with the skills required to plan, design, and architect enterprise unified communications (UC) solutions using Microsoft Lync Server hosted on virtualized Windows Server 2022 infrastructure. Built on platforms and best practices from Microsoft, this course emphasizes solution design rather than day-to-day administration. Participants learn to translate business communication requirements into scalable, resilient, secure, and high-performance Lync Server designs, leveraging Hyper-V-based virtualization for efficiency, availability, and future growth. The program is ideal for professionals responsible for designing UC platforms in virtualized data centers, including on-premises and hybrid-ready environments. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Analyze business and technical requirements for Lync Server solutions Design Lync Server architectures on virtualized Windows Server 2022 Plan capacity, performance, and scalability for UC workloads Design high availability and disaster recovery for virtualized Lync environments Plan secure internal, external, and hybrid access Produce professional UC design documentation and architecture diagrams
