4.1. Service Architecture
The service is delivered on shared infrastructure or typically on a Virtual Dedicated platform. V-Ded provides a full Lync
deployment on a logically dedicated platform. The underlying Lync server pool architecture (Front, Edge, Mediation, A/V
& Web Conferencing, Monitoring and Archiving Servers) uses virtual machine technology (Hyper-V) to provide a logically
separate instance on a shared physical resource. This greatly reduces the cost of the service while provides the scale
without a negative financial impact.
Level 3 is a key members of the Microsoft Lync Reference Project. This is a group of leading hardware, software and
communications service providers that have developed an extensively scaled implementation of Microsoft Lync Server
2010. Level 3 is the Microsoft Lync Reference Project's SIP Trunking and infrastructure provider. This builds on our 30
plus years‘ experience delivering collaboration tools over converged networks and the 10 billion minutes of VoIP traffic
