Overview
The HP Survivable Branch Communication zl Module (SBM) powered by
Microsoft Lync
TM
works within a Microsoft® Unified Communications and
Collaboration (UC&C) solution to provide resilient voice services at a branch
office. This chapter introduces you to the components and features of the SBM
and explains how it fits within the Microsoft Lync-based UC&C solution.
Although the chapter does explain some concepts related to the services
provided by the SBM, many Lync-related topics exceed the scope of this guide.
You should refer to Microsoft documentation for the latest information about
Lync.
This chapter also provides information about the SBM’s telephony capabilities
when properly configured with Microsoft Lync.
