When the going gets rough…Lync can help

  • Article

Marquette University was part of our early adopter program for Lync Server. They currently have deployed Lync for voice, IM/Presence and conferencing for about 1000 users on campus thus far and are targeting an additional 3000 voice endpoints on campus over the next year.  About a month ago, they had a massive blizzard which created chaos on their datacenter where their datacenter cooling systems became clogged and unusable. Due to the heat, they had to begin shutting down critical systems and Lync was one of the few systems they left up to maintain critical communications across the campus IT teams (picture courtesy from Danny Smith at Marquette University).
