Introduction
• Cisco value added reseller
• Specializing in advanced engineering solutions
• Premier partner with Advanced UC and DC specializations
• Two CCIEs on staff in addition to CCNPs and CCNAs
• Customer base from mid market to fortune 500
Microsoft UC Summit
What customers are faced with today...
Microsoft UC Summit
Microsoft UC – Architecture
Microsoft UC Summit
Cisco UC – Architecture
Microsoft UC Summit
Integration – Directory and Voicemail
• Cisco CUCM Directory integrate Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP)
• Cisco CUC Voicemail delivery to Microsoft Exchange and Office 365 (EWS)
• Cisco CUCM with Microsoft Unified Messaging (SIP)
Microsoft UC Summit
Integration – Voice and Jabber
• Cisco CUCM endpoints call Lync endpoints (SIP)
• Cisco Jabber with Microsoft directory and contact photos
• Cisco Jabber with Microsoft Office applications
Microsoft UC Summit
Integration – Instance Messaging and Presence
• Intra-domain Instance Messaging and Presence federation
Cisco IM&PCisco Jabber
Microsoft UC Summit
Intra-domain Instance Messaging and Presence
• Seamless migration including transfer of buddy lists, IM/P between systems
• Full Contact Search available to each end-user regardless of whether they exist on Cisco or Microsoft
• The end-user is not aware what back end the buddy resides on
• Temporary Presence subscription not working today in both directions (during search the user’s presence is “not available”...) unless user is in the buddy list
• Once added to the buddy list, users can exchange presence and instant messaging
Microsoft UC Summit
Integration – Instance Messaging and Presence
• B2B External Instance Messaging and Presence federation
Microsoft UC Summit
RCC – Remote Call Control
• Allow Lync users control their Cisco Phone
• Make an outgoing call
• Answer an incoming call
• Answer an incoming call with an instant message
• Transfer a call
• Forward an incoming call
• Place calls on hold
• Alternate between multiple concurrent calls
• Answer a second call while already in a call
• Lync loses enterprise voice features
Microsoft UC Summit
One more option… CUCI for Lync
Lync Room System: Advanced Deployment Scenarios
Bill Hughes
Concurrency, Inc.
Microsoft UC Summit
What is a Lync Room System?
• It’s Lync
• Turn-Key Hardware and Software solution
• Brings Lync front and center in your Meeting Room’s
Quickly Start Meetings
• 1 Touch Meeting Start
• No PC or Laptop Required
• Schedule the Room or meet Ad-Hoc
Easily Control Meetings
Tableside Console provides ease of control
• Switch Presenters and content
• Invite additional Participants
• Control what is displayed
Increase Interaction for attendees
• Traditional & Lync White boarding provided to all
• Increased interaction during Meetings
• Easy on by default Video Conferencing
Microsoft UC Summit
What to Expect during Deployment
• Rooms with LRS will be booked
• Anticipate increase in Lync Whiteboard and Video Conferences
• Bandwidth? QoS?
Microsoft UC Summit
Deployment Considerations
• Always on & Signed-In “service” account in common area
• Exchange EWS is required
• LRS is a workgroup based appliance by default
• Domain Join is an option
• Deploy in dedicated OU
• Avoid GPO conflicts
• Block Inheritance on OU
• Block SCCM
• Configure OS updates only
• Password policies
Microsoft UC Summit
Considerations Cont.
• PSTN connectivity is a “Must”
• Assign DID if conference rooms today have a DID
• Assign dedicated conferencing policy to LRS accounts
• MultiView Join
• Conference Type settings affect LRS
• Internet connectivity is required
• Exchange Calendar Configuration Required
• Private Meetings
• Meeting Subjects
Microsoft UC Summit
Using Lync and LRS with Partners
• LRS Join Lync Meeting requires Exchange MAPI properties
• How do we get these between organizations?
• Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format – Set on both Exchange Orgs
• New-RemoteDomain -DomainName Contoso.com -Name Contoso
• Set-RemoteDomain -Identity Contoso -TNEFEnabled $true
Microsoft UC Summit
Managing Lync Room Systems
• SCOM Management Pack
• All LRS units represent a single service
• Requires SCOM 2012 SP1
• Requires LRS to be domain joined
• Example Alerts
• LRS is not able to retrieve the meeting room's calendar information from Exchange. -- Alert
• The LRS audio device is not working. -- Alert
• LRS joined a meeting or a P2P call. -- Informational
Microsoft UC Summit
Managing Lync Room Systems Cont.
• LRS Admin Portal
• Installed on FE pool
• On-Premise Only
• LRS Changes require Reboot

The Aruba Advantage
Partnership with MSFT: Aruba is a dev. partner with MSFT, other Wi-Fi vendors are ancillary partners
• This means we get to define the SDN API as it evolves hand in hand with MSFT.
• We are actively working with MSFT to define how next SDN API version should work. Other vendors only get to use what is posted on MSFT support site.
• Having this exclusive partnership with MSFT gives us a lead start for enhancing our dashboards as MSFT comes up with new APIs .

Capabilities: Heuristics vs. SDN API
Microsoft UC Summit
The Aruba Dashboard
Call Quality Metrics and Visibility (on controller and AirWave): Getting qualified for SDN API is great, but differentiation lies in how vendors use this data
• Aruba has a dedicated UCC dashboard on the controller. AirWavereports overall UC call volume, call quality metrics and can track the location of a call on a floor plan and display mobility trail.
• This enhanced visibility helps in identifying call quality issues and help the network admin identify between Wi-Fi network issues vs. backhaul issues vs. client specific issues.

Integrate the best UCC with the best Wifi
Only Intelligent network which ties in in Lync media awareness (layer 7) to RF system optimization (layer 1)
• Aruba is the only vendor that ties in Lync media awareness when making system optimization decisions using patented technologies like ClientMatch.
• Not only do other vendors not have ClientMatch equivalent feature, nor do they tie in application intelligence to make RF optimization decisions.
Microsoft UC Summit
Visibility to make your job easier!
Microsoft UC Summit
Covering all the bases
Non Lync SDN Media awareness: What about cloud based Lync Online deployments that don’t support SDN API?
• Aruba has media classification (ALGs) to address non Lync SDN API deployments wherein we can still classify and prioritize traffic.
• In addition to Lync, we have always had support for common voice protocols like SIP, SCCP also.
