Microsoft Teams is a hub for teamwork, a chat-based workspace that enables teams to be more productive by giving them a single and secure location that brings together everything a team needs: chats, meetings, calls, files, and tools. Microsoft Teams is one place for all the needs your teams have.
Microsoft Teams delivers on four core promises to create a digital workspace for high performing teams.
Communicate
First, Microsoft Teams solves for the communication needs of a diverse workforce. Since preview, Microsoft Teams has evolved to a complete meetings and calling solution, incl. chat, voice and video, as we have completed our roadmap for bringing Skype for Business Online features and functionality into Teams. You can use Teams for informal 1:1 or group chats—directly on your phone if you’re on the go. Or you can have an open conversation in a channel. This enables people to share information in a transparent way to accelerate decision making. And it's super easy to move from a chat into a face to face meeting, helping you to bridge geographical barriers.
Collaborate
When it comes to collaboration, the deep Office integration enables today’s multigenerational workforce to use the Office apps they are familiar with and love—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Planner, even Power BI—right within the context of Teams. You can avoid email attachments and having to search for the latest version of a document. Teams brings all the Office 365 services together—so that you can easily share and co-author files.
Customize & extend
Many of you use other services than Office 365 as well which results in you having to jump between and spend time in disparate experiences. We built Teams to be the hub for all the services and tools your teams use on a day to day basis. So, you can customize Teams with tabs, connector and bots to include the apps and services you need - <mention relevant 3rd party apps like GitHub and Trello>. We have also created an extensible platform, to enable building apps and to integrate with business processes.
And for Firstline workers, Teams provides an additional set of capabilities including schedule management.
Work with confidence
Microsoft Teams comes with the enterprise grade security, compliance and manageability that you expect from Office 365 which customers tell us is a huge value add for them.

This document analyzes delays in unicast video streaming over IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks. It describes conducting an experiment using a testbed with a Darwin Streaming Server and WLAN probe to capture packets. The analysis found that video bitrate variations, packetization scheme, bandwidth load, and frame-based nature of video all impacted mean delay. Bursts of packets from video frames caused per-packet delay to increase in a sawtooth pattern. Increasing uplink load was also found to affect delay variations.

This document proposes a novel video caching framework that uses MPEG-4 Fine-Grained Scalable (FGS) video with post-encoding rate control to achieve low-cost and fine-grained rate adaptation. The framework allows clients to have heterogeneous bandwidths and enables adaptive control of backbone bandwidth consumption. It examines issues in caching FGS videos, such as determining the optimal portion to cache (in terms of length and rate) and optimal streaming rate to clients. Simulation results show it significantly reduces transmission costs compared to non-adaptive caching while providing flexible utility to heterogeneous clients with low computational overhead.
The document compares Microsoft Windows Media and the Adobe Flash Platform for streaming media. It discusses key differences like user experience, workflows, and playback reach.

Acrobat Connect Pro uses proven technologies to authenticate users and encrypt real-time data,
making communications more secure within the application and across the network.
Authentication is the process of identifying whether a user (or client) is eligible to access the Acrobat
Connect Pro server. A range of authentication methods—including usernames and passwords,
NTLM and HTTP header authentication, and public key infrastructure (PKI)—helps ensure that
only approved users can access your data.
Users are required to authenticate by entering a valid username and password before accessing
private content and meetings; users are also required to choose strong passwords and to change
them regularly. For on-site solutions, users can be authenticated directly against your organization’s
LDAP server. The easy-to-use administration console enables you to configure LDAP server details,
authentication methods, and advanced settings, such as timeouts and query page-size limits. In
addition, the use of NTLM and HTTP header authentication allows Acrobat Connect Pro to be used
in a single sign-on (SSO) authentication solution.
Acrobat Connect Pro supports PKI-based authentication. PKI authentication is a mechanism
that is based on certificates: A trusted third party, called a certification authority, verifies the
identity of a client and binds a certificate to the client. With the PKI mechanism, the server
authenticates itself to the clients using public key certificates, and the clients also use public key
certificates to authenticate their identity to the server.
Security attacks typically involve an unauthorized user “sniffing” or “eavesdropping” on user
information while the data is in transit from user’s browser to the server. Adobe Acrobat
Connect Pro uses 128-bit SSL/TLS to create a more secure end-to-end connection and to encrypt
all communications between the server and connected users. Encryption provides security for
the entire lifetime of the session: from the initial authentication so that user credentials are not
disclosed during transmission, and throughout the duration of the Acrobat Connect Pro session,
until the user logs out of the application.
4
5. Like PKI, SSL/TLS also uses certificates to verify the identity of the server to the client. The use
of SSL certifications for both the meeting server and the application server means that each
connection is verified and protected. SSL/TLS is easy to administer: a built-in tool allows you to
configure SSL for the application server, the meeting server, or both. Acrobat Connect Pro also
supports the use of a hardware-based SSL accelerator for added security, as an alternative to the
native support for SSL in the Acrobat Connect Pro software.
When upgrading or migrating, you can help ensure the integrity of your data with new logging,
warnings, customization handling, and efficient schema updates.
Regulatory compliance
Governments, military forces, publicly listed companies, and organizations in a range of
sectors—from health care to finance—store and exchange sensitive information in the normal
course of business. Corporate policies set requirements for how these business records are
managed and in some industries, regulatory bodies have mandated rules for managing these
records. Business records have evolved to include much more than e-mail—web conferencing
and instant messaging are types of electronic communications that must also be managed in a
way that helps ensure their confidentiality, and also their compliance with internal or mandated
policies. Acrobat Connect Pro offers features that allow administrators to manage how
communications are conducted, as well as to manage the recordings and content—both during
and after meetings.
You can use the compliance features of Acrobat Connect Pro to protect your intellectual property
while meeting internal policies for privacy and security, as well as regulatory requirements for
your industry. The compliance features of Acrobat Connect Pro give you the ability to:
• Enable or disable the functionality you want
• Manage the capability of users
• Retain records and manage access to them
• Notify users about recordings, disclaimers, or other terms of use
• Audit system activity
Enable or disable the functionality you want
You can enable and disable features in Acrobat Connect Pro, allowing you to lock down access to
tools and information. The ability to restrict share settings within a meeting, for example, allows
you full control over sharing of desktops, windows, applications, and content. As the administrator,
you can disable share functionality as needed, and you can restrict the content that users upload to
meeting rooms.
Content in a meeting room is displayed in pods, which are panels that contain various types of
media. Individual pods contain meeting content, such as notes, chat, files, and video. In addition
to controlling the share setting, you can also control pod functionality, so that the information
displayed in pods—lists of attendees, notes, chat, files, and video—are available only to select
users. Pod functionality can be selectively forced; for example, you can clear the chat pod after
each meeting session, or you can disable private chat pods. With Acrobat Connect Pro, you have
full control over what information is shared, and who it is shared with.
Manage the capability of users
In addition to controlling the capabilities of users, you can also control the level of access that
users have. Specific users—or entire groups—can be blocked from accessing meetings. Users
who are participating in meetings are managed through role-based permissions. Role-based
permissions allow you to determine the capabilities of users within a meeting, so that you can
manage who has capabilities for sharing, broadcasting, and other activities. You can promote or
demote a user’s role to add or remove permissions during the meeting, or you can change the
rights of a participant without promoting the role. For example, you may not want to promote
5
6. the user to a role with more capabilities, but you may want to give the user control over selected
pods. This flexibility in assigning roles and enhancing a participant’s rights gives you full control
over who can access a meeting, and what capabilities they have.
Retain records and manage access to them
In addition to the tools to manage users and capabilities, Acrobat Connect Pro also provides
features for managing the content generated by the meeting. Communications generated
through web conferencing and instant messaging must also be managed in a way that helps
ensure their confidentiality, and also their compliance with internal or mandated policies. With
Acrobat Connect Pro, you can force the recording of all meetings or, when needed, block the
recording option to help ensure confidentiality. Forced recordings are protected from deletion
by nonadministrative users.
You can control who has access to the recording. You can allow meeting participants to access
the recording, or move the recording from the meeting room to the Content library within
Acrobat Connect Pro and set specific user permissions for accessing it. You can also make the
recording public—the level of access is entirely up to you.
Acrobat Connect Pro also allows you to save transcripts of text-based chat sessions, and it
formats them for easy archiving. The transcripts contain the name of the room, sender, and
recipient; the date and time; and the message body for each chat message.
You can archive all your records by storing them offline, on network attached storage or storage
area network devices. You can configure storage for any content that is published to Acrobat
Connect Pro, such as courses; SWF, PPT, or PDF files; and archived recordings.
Notify users about recordings, disclaimers, or other terms of use
When you record a meeting, you can display a notice to let users know when their information is
being recorded. This notice is displayed to the participant prior to joining the meeting. You can
also display a disclaimer notification to help ensure that meeting participants agree to your
organization’s terms of use before they enter the meeting room. Their acceptance of these
notifications is recorded in the server log.
Audit system activity
In addition to archiving meeting information, Acrobat Connect Pro generates server logs. The
server log provides a record of the compliance settings that you implemented. They also provide
an audit trail so you can track which participants had access to meetings and information, and
which functions were enabled or disabled for the meeting.
Flexible deployment options
Acrobat Connect Pro supports a range of deployment options to meet your organization’s needs.
You can choose to deploy Acrobat Connect Pro as a hosted service or a managed service, or you
can install a licensed solution in your own network.
Hosted services provided by Adobe allow you to maintain control over the administration of
users, groups, and meeting resources, while outsourcing the management of hardware and
software infrastructure.
Managed services, provided by an Adobe solutions partner, provide additional services for
organizations in highly regulated industries, such as log parsing tools, managed procedures
and processes, and integration with an existing SSO architecture.
You need to choose a licensed solution to deploy Acrobat Connect Pro behind your own firewall.
This solution allows you to integrate Acrobat Connect Pro with your existing network infrastructure.
For example, if you have a Jabber server in your network, you can use it to exchange message and
presence information with Acrobat Connect Pro while isolating it from the public network.

7. Acrobat Connect Pro customization
When you deploy Acrobat Connect Pro as an on-site solution, you can take advantage of its APIs
and SDKs to customize and extend the software. The Acrobat Connect Pro XML API is technology
agnostic, so you can easily access it and write your own extensions. Create your own portal, for
example, or create an SSO process. Add Acrobat Connect Pro meeting content to your corporate
search engine or integrate Acrobat Connect Pro with reporting applications, content management
systems, or other corporate systems.
See the sidebars on FoodSHIELD and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for examples
of how Adobe customers are using and extending the functionality of the Acrobat Connect Pro
web conferencing software.
Security evaluations
According to a report by the Gartner Group, more than 70% of attacks are made at the application layer,
not at the network or system layer. So the importance of rigorous testing cannot be overstated. That’s
why Acrobat Connect Pro has also been independently tested by Security Innovation, a leading
company in vulnerability assessment and software risk. Security Innovation evaluated the
security of the Acrobat Connect Pro hosted and licensed solutions—including authentication,
password management, data management, auditing, and logging—and verified that the software
properly implements security measures.

2008, enabling deployed troops, supporting personnel, and military leaders to collaborate effortlessly
across locations worldwide.
DCO supports a wide range of activities that include operations worldwide, from tactical war fighting
to day-to-day office use. Users engage with the system for briefings, mission rehearsals, one-to-one
and group on-the-spot collaboration, training, eLearning, and dozens of other functions. “Adobe
Acrobat Connect Pro enables us to accomplish more work in less time. Smaller groups, featuring
subject matter experts, can more quickly analyze a problem, arrive at a solution, and recommend a
plan of action to the larger group,” says Lieutenant Colonel Karl Kurz.
What sets the DCO Acrobat Connect Pro web conferencing solution apart is that it is based on
Adobe Flash technology and it only requires a single port through the network to operate. This
means that users can instantly collaborate with anybody, anywhere, without any complicated
setup or downloads. From initial login to a DCO meeting in Acrobat Connect Pro, users can
participate in application and screen sharing; whiteboarding; and persistent and nonpersistent
meeting rooms while easily customizing layouts, switching presenters, polling, using VoIP, and
more. Lieutenant Colonel Kurz notes that the streamlined administration features in Acrobat
Connect Pro enable faster delegation of administrative tasks, such as the ability to easily invite
others and efficiently manage access to different Acrobat Connect Pro rooms.
