Lab Scenario

A. Datum Corporation has begun deploying


Skype for Business in its London site. Thus far,
administrators have deployed the Front End
Servers and the SQL Server back-end server for
the following workloads: Instant Messaging,
Presence, and Audio and Video Conferencing.
A. Datum has a main office located in London and
a second office in New York. As the lead Skype
for Business administrator at A. Datum, you need
to decide what type of Skype for Business
infrastructure you will deploy in New York, and
start the deployment by updating the topology.
