Introduction

Before you leap into Unified Communications, it’s important to look at your current network infrastructure and understand how

it will be affected by voice and video conferencing. In order to realize the ROI of Unified Communications, an organization’s

network capabilities must support the communication requirements necessary to deploy a solution.

A Velocis Network Assessment for Unified Communications become an important tool to help your organization’s technical

and business decision makers, avoid potential problems as they map out the enterprise strategy and allocate necessary

financial and technical resources.

Analysis of the Network infrastructure readiness in UC Deployments

Velocis Services Deliverable

Velocis services deliverable for the network assessment are as follows:

§ Understanding Skype for Business/Lync architecture & Network Discovery

§ Lync/SFB Bandwidth planning

§ A/V Traffic simulation on existing network

§ Determine whether the network is ready for Audio/Video or whether

changes/upgrades are required to get the expected results from Lync

Assessment Velocis team will process the network validation as per the following steps:

NETWORK METRICS

Historical data of the WAN link information will be collected

§ Link speed and type

§ Number of users per network site

§ Bandwidth usage over the past 3 months

§ Presence of WAN Optimizers, VPN Policies & Firewall Policies

Lync 2013

Modelling/Personas – Lync Bandwidth Estimations

Calculating the WAN bandwidth requirements of Lync Server 2013/SFB can be a complex task. Velocis team will use Lync

Server Bandwidth Calculator that provides a framework to estimate the additional network traffic generated by a Lync Server

deployment. Velocis will determine usage scenarios in different ways that users communicate by using Lync. For instance, a

peer-to-peer audio call or a video conference are examples of usage scenarios. With the personas information Lync Bandwidth

will be used for calculating real-time Bandwidth required for IM/Presence, Peer Audio/Video Calls & Conference Call etc.

Velocis’ services team offers decades of network experience and understanding of the network requirements that will help

ensure successful Unified Communications deployments.

The Network Assessment will be done using Nectar tools that will help organizations reduce any potential deployment risks,

and generates detailed Quality of Service metrics (packet drops, jitter and latency) to determine your predicted Quality of

Experience. High-level reports provide crucial information about your current network infrastructure, including the current and

suggested architecture, bandwidth modelling requirements and recommendations for your next step toward deployment. The

final report includes Quality of Service performance metrics for the existing end-points and back-end servers that are

necessary to support your Unified Communications deployment.

Nectar automates the assessment and monitoring

of the underlying networking infrastructure

stNectar was the 1 fully qualified UC Monitoring & Diagnostics Solution and Depth Partner for the Microsoft SDN API program.

Additionally, at Ignite 2015, Microsoft announced Nectar as one of only three certified IT Pro Tools Partners for Skype for

Business.
