Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Configuration

Does anyone have experience configuring an LTM for Microsoft Lync Server 2010? I have the configuration guide, but I was wondering why the configuration guide implicitly uses the Standard virtual server type rather than Performance (Layer 4). Has anyone compared performance with these two options? I realize that the virtual servers with cookie persistence would not work with Performance (Layer 4).

    Hi Jonathan,

     

     

    If you're using SSL offloading you wouldn't be able to use a FastL4 VS. You could always create a test VS and run some tests to see what difference in performance you get with a FastL4 versus a standard VS. In general, you should see a fairly significant improvement in using a FastL4 VS.
