This major new release offers a radical difference to the previous architecture and unlike its predecessors (Communications Server 2007 R1/2 and to a certain degree Live Communications Server 2005) offers a streamlined and consolidated deployment, great for smaller scale implementations which are not overly abundant to date.
As many of you may well know the long awaited public release candidate RTM of Microsoft Lync 2010 (previously Communications Server ‘14’) is now available for download.
