Skype for Business Server Mediation Collocation planning tool

The Mediation Server is collocated with the Front End Server by default. The Mediation Server can also be deployed in a stand-alone pool for performance reasons, or if you deploy SIP trunking, in which case the stand-alone pool is recommended. Collocation in Skype for Business Server functions just as it did in Lync Server 2013. For details, see the following topics:

• Supported server collocation in Lync Server 2013
