Converged Office component overview
Hardware Load Balancers deliver load distribution to avoid a single point
of failure. Other benefits include increased performance and added
redundancy. The CS 1000 uses Load Balancers for the signaling path of
VoIP calls and Remote Call Control.
A Load Balancer is not required if you deploy:
•
a Standard Edition server
•
a single Enterprise Edition Front End server
A load balancer is required if you deploy:
•
multiple OCS 2007 Enterprise Edition Front End servers
•
an Array of Edge Servers
•
an Array of Directors in OCS 2007
Microsoft recommends deploying a hardware load balancer for arrays of
Office Communications Server 2007, Edge Servers, and Directors but it is
not a requirement. Office Communications Server 2007 does not support
the use of Windows Server 2003 Network Load Balancer in production or
lab deployments. The CS 1000 is only concerned with the load balancers
for the signaling path for VoIP and Remote Call Control (RCC).
