What is the Lync 2013 High Availability Model? Problem: New Lync 2013 workloads & clients (multi-view video, XMPP, mobility, LWA) require more server resources per user. This impacts the number of users per Front-end server. SQL backend is the bottleneck preventing Scale-out Every transaction needs to be committed to the Database. Managing HA for DB is expensive Solution: Lync FE Bricks Front End servers manage user state Front-end servers keep synchronous backup copies of their data on 3 other Front-ends. Front End servers and Back End databases are loosely coupled Lazy writes to the database for rehydration and disaster recovery

Lync Users are automatically mapped to Groups Each Group is dynamically assigned to 3 Front-end servers within a Pool (a Primary, a Secondary and a Tertiary). When a user logs in, the Primary server will start servicing all of the user s requests. Changes to the user s data (such as Contact list changes) will be synchronously replicated to secondary/tertiary as well (3 replicas). If a primary server dies, then this group would fail over to the secondary. (No data loss) Writes to the back-end database occur periodically (not synchronous). When a server dies, all the Groups assigned to that server as will failover to different servers (load balancing).
Pool Back-end Bob is homed on FE1 (primary) There are 3 copies of this user s data: 1 primary (FE1), 2 backups (replicas in FE2, FE3) User is signed in to primary User s activities, data are replicated Primary goes down User re-signs to one of the backups Replicated data is available on FE2. User
