Deploying mobile unified communications and collaboration (UCC) with Microsoft Lync on Aruba Wi-Fi
This document discusses supporting Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) applications like Microsoft Lync over wireless networks. It covers the challenges of UCC over wireless, how to optimize wireless networks for Lync through classification and prioritization of Lync traffic, and visualization of UCC performance using Aruba's network management tools. Examples are provided of integrating Lync with Aruba wireless networks for on-premise, hosted, and online Lync deployments. Lessons learned from Aruba Lync deployments and a demonstration of Aruba's UCC visualization capabilities are also summarized.
