Microsoft Lync Server (Microsoft Office Communications Server earlier,in future to be named as Skype for Business) is a communications server software(real-time based) that provides the infrastructure for enterprise instant messaging,VoIP, presence, ad hoc and structured conferences like audio, video and web conferencing and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks) connectivity through a third-party gateway or SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)trunk. These features can be availed within an enterprise, between enterprises and with external users on the public internet or standard phones.
One such basic use of Lync Server is instant messaging (IM) and its presence within an organization which includes support for sharing information, file transfer and audio and video communication. Lync uses ICE(Interactive Connectivity Establishment) for NAT(Network address Translation) traversal and TLS(Transport Layer Security)encryption to serve secure voice and video both inside and outside the corporate organizations.
