A hybrid Skype for Business Deployment -

I recently published a blog post and video on the new Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack for Skype for Business.

As you can see from the video is Citrix can deliver with XenApp and XenDesktop Skype for Business to RDS / VDI users. By optimizing Pack, the CPU load on the processor is negligible, while the overall user experience to that of a conventional PC is identical.

Recently, when I spoke about this feature, I was asked the following question:

show the optimization between two users occur which both use VDI. What happens if a user VDI is used, and the other is on a conventional PC?

I find that a few pictures to make the total solution more easily understood. First, let us look at Native VDI:

Native Skype

As you can see, the audio and video occurs between the two virtual desktops as Skype for Business client is on the virtual desktops installed.

Second, we have to look the architecture if we Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack for Skype for Business

XA Skype

This time, using voice and video, occurs between the two end points. Although the Skype for Business client is still on the virtual desktops, we have the media engine to the local endpoints for processing moved while making still appear that the video is running on the virtual desktop.

Finally, we look at the architecture, as we have a user with Citrix XenApp / XenDesktop with the RealTime Optimization Pack for Skype for business and another user is a conventional PC with the native Skype for Business client.

XA and traditional Skype

Also look at the voice and video path, it still comes between the two endpoints. This is because the user who still uses a virtual desktop has on their local endpoint of the media engine, while the traditional PC user has the standard Skype for Business client.

Regardless of whether the user all running XenApp / XenDesktop or only a subset used XenApp / XenDesktop-the Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack is still an improvement over the standard in the RDS / VDI world be installed.
