• Monitoring Improvements
• Topology Changes
• Operating System and Processor Support Changes
• New Disaster Recovery and High Availability Features
• New Conferencing Features
• New Features for External User Access
• New Archiving Features
• New Persistent Chat Server Features
• New Conferencing Changes
• Enterprise Voice Changes

• Geo-availability monitoring

Monitor end-user scenarios from different geographical regions

Uses multiple System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) agents, inside or outside the data center, to run synthetic transactions at regular intervals.
• End-to-end scenario availability and other reports

Using SCOM data warehouse and reporting engine
• Rich error reporting for synthetic transaction failures

Communicating and connecting in Lync
Collaborating using voice and video in Lync
Lync is available virtually anytime, anywhere on almost any device
 Find, connect, and communicate with
Microsoft Office users
 Connect and communicate with external users
 Manage Lync IM & presence and persistent chat features
 Lifelike video experience with multi-view video and higher resolutions
 Web conferencing
 Voice conferencing
 Office integration
 Lync is available on a variety of mobile devices
 Lync is available on the web
 Lync is available on room systems
 Lync as a Hosted Service

The storage and execution of a desktop workload (operating system, applications, and data) is centralized on a virtual machine in the data center
Remote Desktop
Client
Presentation of the UI is managed via a remote desktop protocol (such
Remote Desktop
Servers as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing
Architecture (ICA)) to client devices

• Server Role Consolidation
• IPv6 Support
• Lync Hybrid Deployment
• Office Web Apps Server
• Director Role Changes
• Enterprise Voice Topology Changes

• IPv4 depletion has caused enterprises to start planning for transition to IPv6 seriously
• Exponential growth of mobile devices has forced carriers to start issuing IPv6 addresses
• Goals for this release :

Lync scenarios work well in a dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 environment

IPv6–capable: If IPv4 is disabled from the network, Lync should continue to work for all the basic functionalities
• Recommend converting entire deployment to Lync Server
2013 before enabling IPv6, for simplifying interoperability

Topology 1: Office Web Apps Server is installed on-premises and in the same network zone as Lync Server 2013

• Configuring Hybrid Voice in Lync

Lync introduces new enhancements to voice routing, including:

Call Forwarding – You can forward calls to other phones and client devices.
Enabled by default



Simultaneous Ringing – Incoming calls ring on an additional phone (for example, a mobile phone) or other endpoint devices. Enabled by default
Manager/Delegate Simultaneous Ringing – Delegates can setup simultaneous ringing to their mobile devices for incoming calls to their manager
Voicemail Escape – When simultaneous ringing is configured, and the user’s cellphone is turned off, out of battery or out of range, Lync Server
2013 can determine that an incoming call was immediately routed to voicemail, and hang up that endpoint so that the call can continue to ring to endpoints of the user


Caller ID presentation – Provides the administrator the flexibility to modify the format of the calling party’s phone number
Conference Dial-Out for users not enabled for enterprise voice – Users that are not enabled for Enterprise Voice are now able to do conferencing dialout based on the organizer’s voice policy

Lync New Call Management features:
NewResponseGroup Application Features
• Route and queue incoming calls to designated persons for special purposes
New Announcement Application Features
• Configure how to handle phone calls made to numbers that are valid but not assigned to a user or common area
• Transfer the calls to a predetermined destination, have them answered with a recorded announcement, or both
New Call Park Application Features
• Put a call on hold and then retrieve it later from any phone

New Lync Call Park Features:
• New disaster recovery mechanisms in the form of failover and failback processes

Support recovery of the Lync Server Call Park service
• Both online and on-premises users can now park calls and retrieve parked calls
• Support for disaster recovery of the Call Park Service is enabled as part of the configuration and deployment of paired Front End pools
