MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER 2022 - PLANNING & DESIGNING MICROSOFT LYNC SERVER SOLUTIONS

The Planning & Designing Microsoft Lync Server Solutions course is a professional, architecture-focused program designed to equip participants with the skills required to plan, design, and architect enterprise unified communications solutions using Microsoft Lync Server.

Microsoft Lync Server, developed by Microsoft, provides integrated instant messaging, presence, voice, video, and conferencing capabilities. This course emphasizes solution design rather than day-to-day administration, focusing on requirements analysis, capacity planning, topology design, high availability, security, and integration with existing infrastructure.

The program is ideal for architects and senior engineers responsible for designing reliable, scalable, and secure unified communications environments, including on-premises and hybrid deployments.
