Last week, Microsoft announced a new version of their product for unified communications Lync, delivered in the new office. This version will include a specially designed interface for VDI integration. Citrix has worked with Microsoft to prepare for the new Lync and develops support in XenDesktop.
When delivering a unified communications client XenDesktop to a large number of users, optimal architecture moves the media processing load from the server to the user device where possible, similarly HDX flash redirection. Leveraging the processing power of the endpoint maximizes server scalability by offloading CPU-intensive processing video webcam. HDX this optimized architecture in real time eliminates "hairpinning" (also known as "tromboning"); the audio-video stream traffic "peer-to-peer" (directly from one user to another or to each user's audio / video conference server Lync). Since the traffic media completely bypasses the Citrix server, much less network bandwidth is consumed and there is no degradation in the quality of audio-video. This is the concept behind the optimization of Citrix Pack for Lync 2010, introduced last month with Feature Pack 1 for XenDesktop, XenApp and Citrix Receiver.
The VDI plugin announced by Microsoft supports this optimized architecture for the delivery Lync 2013 users on Windows devices. Citrix will integrate this with our Receiver for Windows. The new VDI plugin developed by Microsoft will enable organizations to deploy the new Lync in virtual offices as a complete unified enterprise-class platform for communication, including instant messaging, presence, conferencing, audio company / video and integration Office. The combined solution will enable users to use their Lync certified USB audio and video devices connected. It redirects the voice and video traffic from virtualized desktop directly on the user's PC or thin client for Windows integrated seamless experience in the bodies VDI Citrix XenDesktop or as a published application via Citrix XenApp. [ October 2013 correction : Microsoft has since indicated that they do not support the delivery of Lync 2013 as a published application, as part of a complete virtual desktop or published. Customers wishing to deliver Lync 2013 as a published application (Delivery transparent application) must make the request known to their Microsoft Sales representative for submission via the engine of the Lync / Skype experience to https: // www. lyncfeedback.com/default.aspx.]
for non-Windows devices not supported by the plug-in Microsoft VDI, Citrix is committed to providing support with optimized our optimization package for Lync and embrace all alternatives future versions of the plug-in Microsoft Lync VDI.
Citrix continues to work closely with Microsoft Lync to improve performance in virtual environments. These new enhancements to the platform will allow Citrix customers to use the new capabilities of Lync to provide a powerful and robust experience.
