    Dear expert,

    We need your help on Lync deployment. I've already design NEW virtual environment for Microsoft Lync 2013.

    Problem is our customer change the plan. They wanted to deploy the Lync 2013 on their EXISTING virtual Environment which is Hyper-V.

    Question : -

    Can we deploy virtual Lync server 2013 on their existing virtual environment which already have other Virtual Machine?.

    Thanks.

    Yes. Providing that the host hardware has sufficient performance/specification to run Lync 2013 along with it's current workloads, this is totally fine (and is how nearly all deployments I have done are run.)

    Use the Lync Capacity Planning Tool http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828 to determine your requirements. I usually allow 7-10% extra for VM overhead.

    Agree with Georg, Yes, Lync 2013 can already deploy on Virtual Machines and change environment to visualize. You can use Lync planning tool 2013 to know the capacity that you need according to your environment and requirement.
