Get better connected with the SDN enabled Lync starter labLay the foundation for your SDN Network

Data#3 has packaged an easy-to-use Software Defined Network (SDN) enabled Lync starter lab that provides everything you need to get your high quality unified communications solution up and running. We help you cut through the complexity of getting a SDN POC off the ground and make it easier to build support for how IT can improve the business.

Microsoft Lync is more than an alternative to traditional telephony. It’s a single communication tool for voice, IM, video, presence and web conferencing that works across all devices and connects people regardless of where they’re located. It offers the potential to improve collaboration, boost productivity and reduce costs. If you have Microsoft Enterprise or Office 365 agreements in place you probably already have Lync software, or can obtain it at a minimal cost. So what’s stopping you?

Network functionality is critical to success

Lync requires a solid network infrastructure or you risk issues with voice prioritisation, jitter, latency and packet loss. If your organisation would benefit from unified communications, but you don’t want to overhaul your existing network, or you have small branch networks you want to connect, take a look at Data#3’s HP SDN/Lync starter lab.

Get your network ready for changing business needs

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new approach to designing, building and operating a network which offers significant advantages over a traditional network:

• Simplified configuration and provisioning

• Minimise or eliminate device by device configuration

• Better security

• No vendor lock in

Even if you have approval for a SDN POC, it can be difficult to know where to start. Data#3’s HP SDN/Lync starter lab will help you lay the foundation for your SDN network whilst leveraging HP’s leading networking technology to maximise the value of Microsoft Lync unified communications.

A better user experience and reduced operational costs

HP’s Network Optimizer Application dynamically provisions the end-to-end network path and QoS policy via the HP Virtual Application Networks (VAN) SDN Controller.

The HP VAN SDN controller provides an enterprise ready platform which makes it easy to not just deploy further SDN applications, but also easier to support traditional networking.
