A10 Networks, a technology leader in application networking, today announced its Thunder Application Delivery Controller (ADC) solutions have achieved certification for use as a reverse proxy with Lync Server 2013 by Microsoft's Unified Communications Open Interoperability Program (UCOIP). A10 Thunder purpose-built hardware appliances and hypervisor-based virtual vThunder offerings optimize Microsoft's front-end and back-end Lync servers to enhance the delivery of popular services such as user authentication, web conferencing, instant messaging, application sharing, contact list storage and more. A10 ADCs are also tested and certified with Lync Server for use as a load balancer.
A10 Thunder ADC solutions, both physical and virtual, underwent extensive testing and verification to achieve Microsoft's validation of critical reverse proxy interoperability for Lync Server. In addition, the evaluation process requires detailed vendor documentation such as A10's step-by-step deployment guide to ease configuration. This UCOIP certification also shows A10 Thunder ADCs ability to replace Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) for Lync reverse proxy scenarios.
