Recently I teamed up with virtualization expert, Derek Seaman (@vDerekS) to co-author a whitepaper regarding best practices for virtualizing Lync Server 2013 particularly around using Nutanix solution. Although this was already blogged about once before, I’m writing it again so the paper can be obtained now without signing up to retrieve it.
We all know virtualization is a “fuzzy” area where Lync Experts and Virtualization experts don’t exactly see eye to eye, so we were able to write this paper from both perspectives; a Lync Server 2013 Expert and a Virtualization Expert. This guidance isn’t the end-all/be-all, but can definitely lend some good advice in virtualization. Keep in mind also that Skype for Business 2015 “S4B” hasn’t released any major virtualization differences between S4B and Lync Server 2013, so generally, the same guidance can be followed. A couple areas of caution however, this Lync Server 2013 whitepaper doesn’t outline any direction for virtualization of SQL Always On or VIS server which are new features in S4B.
