What is the difference with 1 Lync Standard Edition using VMware Fault Tolerant and 2 Lync Enterprise Edition in a cluster

Hi
As I will be planning to setup Lync on a virtual environment regardless if it is going to be the Standard or Enterprise edition.
I am thinking if we use 1 Lync Standard Edition for the FE Server with Fault Tolerance enabled, would it be as good as having 2 Lync Enterprise Edition in a cluster?
Thanks

Hi there,
the main difference between using Lync enterprise and lync standard is the High availability and scalability feature,
you will get fault tolrance setup with one lync standard edition running on whatever hyper-v and vmware platform, however this will not be an optimum highly available solution for the simple reason that upon a host server failure the image will move
to another available host server and users will lose their active session durin the move process.
on the other hand what you will gain if you the Enterprise edition is that you will have a unique identity to which all lync clients will be connecting and this identity is the lync pool identity which is in the background handled with multiple Front-End
servers and AV conferencing pools, mediation pools and so on.
In additioin when you have multiple front-ends in place, those front-ends will not work in active/passive mode as in a regular cluster, in contrairy all the servers will be active and handeling the work load.
hope i make it a bit clear, if yiu need more info i am ready

Thanks for the response, being a small environment of 300 users, standard edition would be more than enough for me but the fact for HA is very critical for me at this stage. That is why I am exploring the option of using VMware FT.
I don't quick get what you mean on the users having to move to another image as my understanding of FT is in the event of a host failure (not VM failure like bluescreen etc), the VM will fail over to another host with no lost in any ping etc.
So, in theory, the Lync Server VM would never know that the parent ESX host had failed and it needed to failover to another host. Hope my understanding is correct.
Thanks

  • What's the difference between "update db cfg using ..." and "db2set ..."?

    I get confused about which one should be used. Thanks!

    Hello Ashley,
    The command  'update db cfg using <parameter> <value>' is used to update the database manager configuration. To see the current values you can use
    'db2 get db for <sid>'
    where <sid> is the databse name.
    To see further details regarding the on disk and in memory settings you need to first connect tot he database using 'db2 connect to <sid> user <xxx> using <password>' then issue 'db2 get db cfg for <sid> show detail'
    The command 'db2set' is used to update, view or remove DB2 registry (profile) variables.

  • What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

    What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
    I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
    The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
    I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
    Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
    Please Help
    Thank you

    Hello!
    I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
    There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
    Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.

  • What is the difference between 9i standard edition and enterprise edition

    hi,
    who can tell me what is the difference between ora 9i standard edition and enterprise edition?? relevant http links are also appreciated. thank you!
    regards,
    iron teung.

    If your 'professor' really said that then I think you need to find a new college!I agree. 11g is a superset of 9i. In fact,you can tell 11g to run in 9i compatibility mode.
    >
    I firmly believe that you would do well starting with
    9i and then going through the new features with each
    release to 11g.Since 9i is officially about to start it's second year in 'Extended Support' (which, due to the surcharge in support fee, will likely see a drop-off in adoption) I would encourage anyone studying Oracle database to start with 10g.
    But the idea of starting at 9i is not bad.
    >
    'Client' is the software required to
    access/interact/maintain an Oracle database remotely
    from a client machine. Different features become
    available as you progress from Personal to Standard
    to Enterprise editions. They are cost related to
    whichever license you buy in a production environment.One point of confusion is that Personal Edition really is targeted for the Developer and therefore includes all capabilities, features and options of Enterprise Edition turned on and included in the license. (Except RAC and OEM packs) When I draw a picture, I put Personal Edition at the top as most capable.

  • What's the difference with iMessage and SMS when not on wifi?

    What's the difference when I use iMessage vs SMS? I know iMessage is only to Apple products. So when my messages uses iMessage when I'm not connected to wifi, would it go onto my data or texting? Thanks

    what if people dont know how to do that.
    sberman wrote:
    Here's one way to test:
    Settings > Messages > Send as SMS = "Off", and Settings > WiFi = "Off"
    Send a message to an Apple user.  If it goes, it would be sent via iMessage.  If it doesn't go, your carrier does not support iMessage.
    Another way is to send a message to an Apple user with just Settings > WiFi = "Off".
    If it's blue or the message says "iMesage" at the top, it went via iMessage.
    If it's green, it went via SMS text message.
    Good luck!

  • What is the difference between "Adiministrator" & "Standard" user accounts?

    Hi,
    I was wondering what is the difference was between "Adiministrator" & "Standard" user accounts?
    Is "Standard" more sucre for everyday use than "Administrator"?

    An administrator has more latitude in taking actions that have potential for harming the computer intentionally or accidentally than a standard user. Also, an administrator has the power to enable the "root" user--the user who can do the most harm intentionally or accidentally. The less one knows about his or her computer and its environment the more important it is for the individual to run as a standard user. If one is running as a standard user, then he or she will have to take a time out, which allows a period of reflection, before actually taking potentially harmful action since to do so he or she would have to logout and back in.

  • What's the difference with save as illustrator pdf vs ai?

    What is the big difference between saving as an .ai versus saving as a .pdf. I like the flexibility of saving as a .pdf so that people w/o illustrator can view my comps. I know if I save as a .pdf (versus printing or exporting), I can reopen the .pdf and still have all my editing capabilities there (that i know of). Can someone enlighten me?

    > What is the big difference between saving as an .ai versus saving as a .pdf.
    That depends on whether you leave the default settings on. If you do, you are really saving two full and distinct copies of the entire content in one file, and the "difference" between the two files is mostly marketing-inspired hype. But if you turn off the default setting to include BOTH versions of the file, then the difference is real. AI and PDF content is not the same thing.
    The two default options I refer to are:
    Create PDF Compatible File (when saving as AI)
    Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities (when saving as PDF)
    > I like the flexibility of saving as a .pdf so that people w/o illustrator can view my comps.
    That's fine. But you are really saving two complete versions of the file's content, and the PDF you are sending to your non-Illustrator recipients is much larger than necessary. That's because the PDF, by Illustrator's default, also contains another complete copy of the file in Illustrator format, which is ignored by Reader.
    > I know if I save as a .pdf (versus printing or exporting), I can reopen the .pdf and still have all my editing capabilities there (that i know of).
    That's fine, too. But again, that's only because you are, as stated above, saving a PDF that also contains a complete second copy of the content as Illustrator-native objects. When you open that PDF in Illustrator, Illustrator loads the native-ai content, not the PDF content.
    > Can someone enlighten me?
    Despite confusing marketing hype to the contrary, PDF and Illustrator formats are not the same thing.
    PDF is basically like capturing the artwork halfway on its path to a PostScript printer. Illustrator-specific constructs like live blends, multiple fills, multiple strokes, (and much more), are dumbed-down to simpler discrete objects.
    But a PDF file can contain a "cordoned off" area that can contain just about any kind of data a programmer wants to insert there, but which is altogether ignored by Reader. Think of it like inserting a comment statement in a code file. That extra data, of course, makes the file larger.
    Similarly, Adobe changed Illustrator's format a while back to also include a "cordoned off" area that can contain PDF data. Again, that extra data makes the file larger.
    When you save as PDF in Illustrator, you are saving the content of the file as "dumbed down" PDF content that can be understood by Reader. But when doing so, if you also leave the default "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox on, you are also including a full copy of the file in Illustrator's native format in that "marked off" area inside the PDF. So if a recipient using Reader opens the PDF, Reader loads the PDF content and ignores the "marked off" content. If you open the PDF in Illustrator, Illustrator checks to see if you also stashed away AI-native content in that "marked off" area. If it finds that you did, it opens that version of the content, not the PDF version.
    Inversely, when you save as AI, you are saving the content of the file as the fully editable Illustrator-specific constructs. But when doing so, if you also leave the "Create PDF Compatible File" checkbox on, then you will also be including another copy of the same content dumbed-down to PDF objects, and stored in .ai format's "marked off" area. If you then, for example, Place the .ai file in InDesign, InDesign in fact imports the "hidden" PDF content, not the .ai content.
    The problem is, this scheme has been marketed as "equality" between Illustrator's native format and PDF format, and that has led to needless confusion. It's as if saying:
    A may contain B.
    Therefore A equals B.
    Which, of course, is bogus. According to what I have been told, Corel, for example, could hide its fully-native Draw content within the "marked off" region of a PDF exportd from Draw. Corel could then, I guess, similarly claim that Draw and PDF are "equal."
    Try this:
    Open an Illustrator file. Make sure it contains some Illustrator-specific content, like a live Blend and a multi-line AreaType object. Save it as PDF, but turn off the Illustrator Editability checkbox. You have now exported the file as PDF content. Now open the PDF in Illustrator. It will open, because Illustrator can understand the simpler objects. But you'll find that the Blend is not an AI blend at all; it's just a stack of individual paths. The text object will be multiple textFrame objects, not one AreaType object with auto-wrapping text.
    Now go back to the original AI document. Save it as AI, but turn off the Acrobat Compatibilty checkbox. Launch InDesign and try to Place the .ai file. InDesign will tell you it can't place the file. That's because InDesign can't really place .ai content. It can place PDF content, but there isn't a PDF version of the content in the .ai file you are trying to place.
    So...
    > I like the flexibility of saving as a .pdf
    That's fine, so long as you are not fooled by the smoke-and-mirrors. If you allow yourself to go on thinking that PDF and AI are actually "the same thing," you'll be scratching your head as soon as you open a PDF that
    doesn't happen to also contain a stashed-away version of itself in .ai-native format. (For just one example, if you ever happened to open a PDF saved by me.)

    The software is the same; the only difference is that you cannot upgrade an academic version and you have to be able to qualify for the academic pricing (students and teachers).

  • When using program RFDM3000/Automatic creation of dispute cases what is the difference with the option of Automatic incoming payment and Open items?

    We currently have a batch jobs running for each, automatic incoming payment and open items.  This was set up in the past and we are trying to determine what the difference is for each of these functions?  Do you need to have the automatic incoming run prior to the open items for residuals and payments on accounts?

    Hi Chris,
    Program RFDM3000 creates dispute cases for residual items arising during automatic incoming payments (account statement, lockbox), during check presentation, or in postprocessing.
    Alternatively, you can use the program to create dispute cases for open receivables items. You can use the selection criteria to restrict the quantity of open items (for example, using the document type and posting key for residual items from incoming payment postings).
    You will find more information in the link below

  • What are the differences between aqapi.jar in Oracle 8.1.7 and OC4J 9.0.3

    Recently, I have been trying to use AQ as the foreign JMS provider for WebLogic MDB. I started with the AQ/JMS implementation in Oracle 8.1.7. I found that that version of AQ/JMS does not support:
    QueueConnection.createQueueSession(false, ...);
    Session.recover();
    Message.acknowledge();
    Message.setJMSType();
    Message.setJMSReplyTo();
    Connection.setClientID();
    Connection.setExceptionListener();
    After some hacking I was able to dequeue AQ messages using WebLogic MDB, but I could not handle exceptions.
    Later I looked at the version of OJMS in OC4J 9.0.3 and found all the above features are supported (I guess they are required by J2EE 1.3 specs). However, I can no longer dequeue messaged using MDB.
    Can someone at Oracle provide some insight on whether I can mix and match the two OJMS versions to get WebLogic MDB to use AQ?

    I subsequently found this thread:
    MDB on Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3)
    and found I need Oracle 9i with patches. This indeed solved my problem. The question now is, what is the major difference between the AQ versions?

  • What is the difference between Object Outline Stroke, Object Expand..., and Object Compound Path/Make?

    Could anyone explain the differences between these three commands? I created a circle with a stroke, applied all three commands, and ended up with the same thing, a compound path. Are there situations where this is not the case, or situations where one of these commands is more appropriate?

    Cleveland,
    In the case of the straight stroke/nofill, object>outline stroke and object>expand seem to do the same thing.
    In the Layers palette you can see the three different outcomes for Expand if you have both Fill and stroke ticked, only Fill ticked, and only Stroke ticked. Only the last one corresponds to Outline Stroke.
    You should use Outline Stroke as the simplest one if that is what you need. Compound Path is for creating something with one or more holes from multiple paths, or for collecting paths to forrm the Clipping Path of a Clipping Mask. Expand is for the rest.
