Capacity Planning for Collaboration and Application Sharing

One of the more common uses for Lync Server 2013 conferences is to present a common document or application to multiple users. Sometimes this is a one-sided presentation and other times it might be a collaborative back and forth in which users share control and modify a single document or presentation. As such, it’s useful to understand bandwidth and disk usage for application sharing and conferencing collaboration. Microsoft offers the information included in Tables 30.2 through 30.5 to help plan for the impact of this feature.

Table 30.2. Application Sharing Capacity Planning

Table 30.3. Application Sharing Capacity Planning for Persistent Shared Object Model (PSOM) Applications

Table 30.4. Content Collaboration Capacity Planning

Table 30.5. Content Collaboration Upload and Download Rate

These values serve as a starting point for administrators and can be scaled up or down if the profile isn’t a good match for a specific environment.
